Happy Thursday everyone! While attending a brunch a few weeks ago, I tweeted this quote said by one of the pioneers of the natural hair community in attendance: “Bloggers & hair care pros need to bridge the gap so that the correct info is put out there.” #MastersBrunch @DianeCBailey — Toia B. (@ToBNatural) August 24, 2013 So true! I had been dwelling on this very fact for a while and upon hearing that, I knew I needed to put it in action ASAP! That said, I have teamed up with Simeko Watkins-Hartley of Meko New York Natural Hair Care Spa & Boutique to bring you “Ask the Pro”! What better way to get your natural hair facts than to seek help from someone who has been in the business for many years and practices what they preach!

I’ve always liked hair”, Felicia reminisces, “even as a small child, from about nine years old.” So, one might wonder, ‘how do ya go from…
Welcome back! And now, continuing my chat with Simeko, owner of Meko New York Natural Hair Care Spa & Boutique in Orange, NJ, we get into the spa ‘experience’ and her own… challenging interesting journey to natural. Missed Part I? Click here! ^_^ TBN: What’s it like to sit in Simeko’s styling chair, what kind of experience do clients receive? SWH: Well, first and foremost, it’s information and inspiration. If I haven’t given you one of those two things then I didn’t do my job… seriously. People come because they want their hair to be taken care of, more importantly, because they can go anywhere to get it styled. But they come to me because they know that I’m going to take care of their hair as I’ve taken care of my own and I’m going to give them that information that they need, which most stylists won’t, so that they can truly care…
