A Review of the
event: Natural U Salon & Design Essential’s presents It’s A Natural U Affair
The event It’s A Natural
U Affair was held in Jackson,MS at the Jackson Medical Mall from 3-6pm on
January 15th 2012. Melody Washington is a cosmologist who owns a
salon in Jackson, MS called Naturally U Salon, she also spoke at Kingdom Curls
(formerly known as MS Naturals) first conference in Starkville, MS.
When my guest and
I arrived, Melody was about to speak. The event was held in the middle of the
medical mall and had three seating sections. A gentleman to which I assume was
working there showed us where to sit. I thought that in itself was a good
quality because there was a large crowd present and seating looked slim. The
audience was made up of both natural and relaxed. There were more women than
men, which isn’t un common, but there were males present.
When Melody spoke
she involved the crowd with questions such as who flat irons their hair, our diet
intake, and so on. By doing so she tied our answers into her explanation of
hair care. For example, how it is important to deep condition before flat ironing
hair. What I like about Melody is that she doesn’t just add her opinion on hair
care, but also ties in how certain choices can affect the hair in a long term
manner. A Q&A was offered to the floor. My guest actually asked a great
question. He asked, “Since hair grease is said to be bad for the scalp, what
can I use to get waves?” Melody thought carefully and suggested shea butter.
After Melody
finished speaking, there were two types of modeling shows. Different ages and
genders of her clients came to the stage then a small fashion show of bow ties
on guys and girls was displayed. The bow ties were designed by a young male, I
apologize, but I did not catch his name. I thought the fashion show was a cute
and different spin for the event.
I did not get a
chance to visit the vendor tables, but there were some present. I did manage to
visit one, which was Bernette Mitchell’s vendor table Bold N Beautiful Mobile Boutique.
On our way out, I was given a card and a goodie bag that I have yet to look in
(when I do I will list what was in it). Either way I was happy to receive free
items. The event was free as well by the way.
Over all I this was a really
good event. I do not have any cons to the event and that is the truth, not just
because I know the person over it. I liked that Melody was dressed professional
and her hair was funky, but went with her clothing. It was braid into what
looked like a French braid and fro’ed at the top like an African Flower I imagine.
Congrats to Melody and I hope to see more and even better.
