Goldy Hair: Weave Hair Specialists in Paris?

Photo from Goldy Hair

I've been getting messages regarding Goldy Hair, a new hair company located in Paris. Has anyone else heard of it or bought hair from them?  Their tagline says they're Brazilian hair specialists, but in the About section, they only refer to having Indian hair. It looks like they sell both though (check out the online boutique). 

Also according to their site they specialize in straight, wavy and curly hair, and even have hair closures for sale-something you don't see everyday in France. I'll definitely try to get more info ASAP for you guys. However if you try them out before I do, let us know!

Up Close: Ava Mitchell

Ava Mitchell

Recently I went home to attend the funeral of a beloved family member. It was a very hard and sad occasion, as one can imagine.  While there I met some new friends, who were just great folks. One of them is a lady named Ava who graciously accepted my request to post her photo on this blog.

I spotted Ava in the family crowd immediately. One, because she was wearing a beautiful blue dress and two, because she's a natural and her look was just overall fierce!  We talked and later became friends on FB. Like I said, she's fierce and wears her natural hair well. I was surprised and happy to find quite a few naturals during my Alabama trip--not only in nearby Atlanta, but in my very own community/neighborhood. Oh, and I got quite a lot of compliments on my own natural 'do. Pretty exciting and interesting.

I hope to interview Ava soon to find out what it's like being a natural in the Deep South. For some reason I don't believe it's the same as being a natural in Paris or even in New York or LA. Maybe I'm wrong? Hence the interview! By the way, Ava also has a daughter who's an artist and a natural too. We'll have much to cover.

Stay tuned.

Fun in the South of France, Hat Included

My big floppy hat

Whether your locks are straight, relaxed, natural or curly, the summer sun can be very damaging to your hair. Before I left for vacation in the South of France, I picked up this hat at H&M on sale for 7 euros and it's worth every centime! It does a great job at keeping my natural hair hidden from Antibe's hot, hot rays, and to top it off (no pun intended) I've been told it's pretty cute! 


*Thanks to my sister DD for inspiring me to get this one (she has a similar model).*

Shalamar in the House!

Shelly R. Fox, Howard Hewett, Mark Clement

Howard Hewett, former lead singer of the group Shalamar and his wife were at Mark Clement's salon recently. Howard's wife is a client, having found the salon through my other site, PRISSY MAG. Very cool. Very cool indeed. Too bad I wasn't there. I would have asked for some singing. I was and still am a big Shalamar fan!

Birthday Dinner in....the U.S.!

Birthday Dinner

I had planned a birthday dinner in Paris with friends. However sometimes life doesn't work out the way we plan, right? So on the morning of my special day I was actually on a plane headed for Atlanta. I would have never guessed that I'd be spending my birthday with half of my family back in the States! Yep, life sure is funny sometimes. Birthday dinner in Paris--to come.

Karen Byrd: Coming Soon!
