Japanese in an American Black hair salon

IdraIdra_outside

 

 When I met Bonita by working with her in Roppongi, Tokyo 12 years ago. We got along well and liked in what each other liked, and it was it to the Black enthusiastic which showed how this is a friend in which could play together in the way very few Japanese would in those days. We had high jinks in this way at a nightclub. It was her recommendation that brought me to NY. And it was her who inspired me to write for the Illusion Winter Building Publication.

 She had a technique to make a person laugh, and it made returns for her in the service trade. She is an owner of such a character.

 There is her black hair salon in the secret place of west of 39th street. But it is said that it is preferred by types of places a famous person comes. Not worried about the public eye. A famous person goes to visit it. I entered a salon where no one came, and I understood. She was already tending to a customer when I arrived.

 As for the interior decoration of the salon, it's good clear, spacious, cozy, and a warm feeling here. I have been to other black hair salons, but, as for this feel; this, it is the top salon of my friend Bonita's. Even the floral art gave glory in the restroom and loved it very much.

Bonita

* What kind of process was it to have come to work as a beautician?

 I hit it when I came to NY to look for some career to go to beauty school. I fit in with the braids and extensions so I had an opportunity and also I will work with a black famous beautician through the introduction by a friend.

* I know that Bonita is an erotic person as well. In my imagination I did not see Bonita walked the way of a beautician. (Oops it is rude!)
In a diary in Mixi (online community) which she writes, I am made to think in various ways. She is a great writer. I feel like everybody truly grew up and have adult pains and feelings.(What am I questioning?)
Therefore was there the actual feeling of Bonita having grown up in this way?

  No, I was smart? My blood vessel popped. (A lie)
I did not think that I became a beautician possibly. I only try to aim hard in having sometime now, open my own salon. I live happily every day, and to have a dream and hope for a motto though there did not need to be the thing.

* I think it was to experience various things when working at a salon.
Please show how it was like having had a hard time, that I was still a good time?

 Because it is the intense environment where only there are black women surrounding. In the beginning it was hard and I could not knit cornrow. They made my hands hurt. And in those days of being a new face, I was crying when washing hair just after which I took out cornrows, and crying doing dreads which require the hair to truss up got into quarrels very much again.
(Braids for a long time and extension hair come to give pains in fingers, and shoulder aches. I seem to have experienced the occupational disease to be tiring because I used the eye very much;).

Getting possible to handle the work that was not possible in the beginning, I have been glad and as a result I was able to take future nominations.

*Did you first learn in the nieborhood where you first knit twists? Or did you reach it in this way now after learning techniques after becoming an assistant? Or did you go to school and fetch a qualification?

I learned make braiding, and cornrows while going to school and I took the license and began with the assistant in the salon and got techniques such as the sewing on the body.

She worked at Black Charisma Salon 145st bet & 7ave Uptown up to the
present salon, but is already a full-fledged working hair salon. Toni Braxton, En Vogue, Miss USA 2003 Susie Castillo, Tracy Morgan's wife, Miss Jones of Hot 97 radio, Opera singers and Jazz singers has been there before she move to the present salon and work as a hairstylist in this way.

There are the Japanese who like this salon watched "Barber Shop" and"Beauty Shop" for an exclusive look at the black hair styles, a movie like "Barber Shop" and "Beauty Shop" being the last, and long look inside. "But with many Japanese people, actually, they think that there is a courage to come alone"

There is class of Black hair classes for Japanese liking Black hair styles, and Bonita teaches extensions, cornrows, braids and sewing. Then the Japanese surely think that there should be security to be only one of you.
(Please make an inquiry into her, the class fee is 50 dollars for an hour) She is a friend liking reggae from the old days. As for the dance founding along stride, Bonita was the first person who showed me a silly dance. (LOL!)

*Do you still like the reggae?

I sometimes swelled in old school reggae because there were many Jamaicans on the staff.

She got ... true vocation! The girl who was my good friend got a true career in place of her dreams in New York! Even to see her in the very front of me, I became warm.

* Please teach a special ability of yours.

Extensions

(The person who wants to let you knit while talking in Japanese, please appoint her.)

* What do you do on holiday?

I play with a pet dog
(I seem to remember the same dog lovingly which jumped up and down at the Black EXPO four years ago)

* And do you go to the detailed gym for beauty and take acupuncture and moxibustion? Are gentleman interested in beauty so? How do you keep beautiful Bonita like I have in mind from the old days?

I sleep well.
I do not miss three or four times a week exercise.
I drink water without drinking soda.

* You which recommended NY. Do you still love NY?

After all it resembles Tokyo; and the strength and weakness become clear, and love it because it is always a town with stimulation.

*How do you feel navels look?

Pretty SEXY

* Then have a message to all of you coming in Bellibuttonz last

I work in a large-sized Black Salon. When you visit NY, please stop by!

We coverage in the middle and put members of the staff together to take a
photograph of the salon.


Finally I demand "the navel stock looks photograph" that I seem to shout. "Coooome on! Come on!" I and
Bonita have already began looking like having a Chinese abnormal father.
Today's victim is right here. It was the client whom Bonita consulted, she's a very nice one! Thank you for cooperating. I saw Bonita back at the Black EXPO before the last four years, I watched how she impressed me, and cried, and it is branded on the back of the brain with all joy.
