Last Saturday I attended sneak peak event the get a look inside the new location of Jae Undreas full-service natural hair care salon. I was there to support my friend and one of their newest natural hair stylists, Veola, who is also the founder of Do You Naturally. Do You Naturally evolved from the original group Veola founded called Do You Austin, which I last mentioned in a post about the group's Anniversary party.
At Saturday's event, we enjoyed a nice spread of refreshments and drinks, giveaways, and educational discussions and demonstrations about natural hair care. My favorite part was listening to all the natural hair journeys some of the women shared. All the stories were so different, but the one thing they all had in common was the increased joy and self-confidence every person who made the transition to natural hair experienced after their transition was completed. Love that.
I left my camera home and my Blackberry died on the way to the event. I had my iPod Touch on me, but there's no flash on it so my photo from the event are crappy. But I do have a video! Homegirl and gents, meet Veola...
Photos of some of Veola' recent clients from big chops to straw sets (yes, on natural hair) to cornrows after the jump. Check 'em...
If you're natural and are in Austin, or ever plan to be...natural and in Austin...visit her website for a consultation and to make an appointment: http://doyounaturally.com. Also connect with Do You Naturally on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/DoYouNaturally.
Veola expressed her thanks to the following Austin companies instrumental in pulling together the Do You event at Jae Undreas Natural Hair and Full Service salon: Mitchie's Gallery, ABNA, Jae Undreas Natural Hair Salon at Lincoln Village, African Visions, Jazz Events, Third Cousins Media and Do You Austin Women Empowered.
Thanks so much for the feature and all of your support! You are one of the original 8 and for such I am grateful!
