My schedule fills up quickly from my regular clients. Most of them book with me every week or every two weeks. I don’t like to tell customers that I can’t get to them but I’m only one person with two hands who have children so I’m not going to be in the salon all day ahd till 1am. Those days are long gone.😴 It’s first booking first serve. I appreciate all of my customers and I’m always improving daily to make sure you all have the best professional experience always.💃🏾 So with that being said I’m taking care of my steady clients who books in advance first and then I can get to the last min fit ins if any spots are available. I appreciate you all just trying to make this smooth for everyone.❤️I don’t take walk-ins..by appts only! Thanks for understanding!🌼🌼🌼🌼🧿🌼🌼🌼

🗣Happy Mothers Day to all of the Lovely mothers out there! A New U Salon wants to give $5.00 off your next visit. Like and show this post! 💕

When you call to book an appt with me you must know the style you are requesting. You can not switch up once your in my chair to a more time consuming style if we did not schedule you for it. My schedule is strict! I like to run my schedule a certain way to ensure a better time management for myself and the customer. Thanks for understanding.😊

Good evening lovely people. I don’t not take appts past 5pm just so you know and that depends on the style.

Grand rising lovely people! With Mother’s Day and prom this week I only have 1 spot available for now and the time is not flexible. This spot is only available for a wash and style and any other style I will not be able to do with the time that’s available. So if you call at the last minute, I’m sorry I will most likely be booked. Everyone have an excellent day! P.s I don’t take walk ins…I am by appointments only.

Good evening lovely people. At this time I can't take walk ins. My schedule is getting pretty full! It's almost impossible to get in with me at the last minute. If you book an appt and can't keep it then I can't let you book future appts without a deposit. I have to turn down at least 10 clients every week that tries to get in at the last minute. I work by appointments only and I take my schedule very seriously.

Types of Alopecia
What Are The Different Types Of Alopecia?

Alopecia is the medical term for losing more hair than is replenished, resulting in thinning or balding. Occurring at any age, alopecia primarily affects the scalp and can sometimes disrupt hair growth on beards, eyebrows, eyelashes and other parts of the body.

Many different types of alopecia exist, each with their own symptoms and differing degrees of severity. To help you pinpoint which strain you might be suffering from, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of common and uncommon types of alopecia as well as ways to cope with the condition, ranging from online support groups to products and treatments.

What Are The Most Common Types Of Alopecia?
1. Alopecia Areata
This is an autoimmune condition that causes the body’s immune system to attack hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss. These coin-sized patches of baldness most commonly occur on the scalp but can appear anywhere on the body1.

Alopecia areata can affect all ages and genders, although it is most prevalent in teenagers and young adults. There is currently no cure for it, however regrowth of hair typically occurs over a period of months or years (this is much more likely for those with mild early alopecia).

Alopecia Areata
2. Alopecia Barbae
Alopecia barbae is a localized form of alopecia that affects the beard region. While not as extreme as other strains of alopecia, it still results in sporadic hair loss (usually in the form of small patches, but sometimes across the entire beard area)2.

Historically, alopecia barbae tends to correlate with psychological and physical stress; managing your stress levels appropriately and putting aside time to unwind will aid recovery.

3. Traction Alopecia
This is caused by hairstyles which pull the hair back so tightly that they remove the roots from the scalp. Permanent hair loss can occur when such excessive tension is applied, since new hair follicles cannot develop3.

It is therefore advisable to lessen the tension exerted on your scalp and opt for a hairstyle which avoids tugging at the roots.

4. Telogen Effluvium
This condition is generally triggered by stages of stress or trauma (such as childbirth, bereavement and serious illness) and results in an excessive amount of hair loss, with 30% or more of scalp hair shifting to the telogen (shedding) phase – three times the normal amount4.

This is a temporary condition and hair regrowth is therefore to be expected. Adopting a balanced and nutritious diet helps to support healthy regrowth; a poor diet lacking in essential vitamins for the hair can prevent it from obtaining the nutrients it needs to thrive.

5. Androgenetic Alopecia
This condition is commonly known as male or female pattern baldness and in men often results in a receding hairline and thinning crown. Women, on the other hand, tend to experience an overall thinning of their hair but are rarely left completely bald5.

There is no cure for androgenetic alopecia. However, its progression is slow and can span several decades6.

What Are The Rarer Types Of Alopecia?
1. Alopecia Totalis
Alopecia totalis affects both men and women. It is a more advanced form of alopecia areata that causes hair loss on the face and entire scalp. The chances of alopecia areata resolving itself after reaching the alopecia totalis stage are small, although in some isolated cases hair follicles can start to grow again7.

2. Alopecia Universalis
The most advanced form of alopecia areata, alopecia universalis usually presents itself later on in life and occurs in both men and women. This condition results in total hair loss all over the entire body and is caused by a chromosome mutation at birth.

While there is no cure, it has been noted that hair regrowth can occur on its own in some cases8.

3. Cicatricial Alopecia (Scarring Alopecia)
Cicatricial alopecia not only causes permanent hair loss but also scarring of the scalp. Brought about by a group of rare disorders which destroy the hair follicle, cicatricial alopecia occurs worldwide and affects both men and women but is uncommon in children9.

4. Anagen Effluvium
Normally caused by cancer treatment drugs, anagen effluvium results in patchy hair loss and eventually a total loss of hair (it usually grows back after treatment ceases).

5. Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
This condition is characterized by hair loss and scarring on the scalp near the forehead. Around half of all people affected by frontal fibrosing alopecia also experience a loss of eyebrows too and, in some cases, eyelashes10.

How Can I Treat Alopecia?
If you recognize any of the hair loss patterns outlined above, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor, trichologist or cosmetologist who will be able to confirm which type of alopecia you are experiencing.

Although losing your hair can be understandably upsetting and difficult to come to terms with, there are a number of treatments (both medicinal and product-focused) for alopecia which can help you regain confidence by disguising the effects of hair loss.

~Traction Alopecia I see a lot of with new clients. I'm pretty sure most of my clients remember me discussing this. This is why I do not braid tight because it will lead to traction Alopecia. Hopefully this will educate you all on the different kinds of Alopecia that exists.

~To set up a hair consultation you can inbox me or call 618.223.9896 ask for Erica and we can see if there is a papule to work with treatment plans.

🗣Attention customers I understand that the mask mandate has been lifted, however in my Salon they are still required!
