Andrea at Ipsa in Georgetown does a great job. I've noticed that she works with all textures. She does amazing color as well if you're not opposed to all chemical processing.

Is Andrea black?

I hear you!
I have had my hair messed up by so many"xxx" that I have gone to the extent of asking what color my hair dresser is
It just has to be someone black for my hair. and I had the same question about Andrea(georgetown)....uhm..uhm....I have decided to check out the place and see if Andrea and find out whether she is actually black....ha!ha!

HEEHEE! I do get nervous. I typically ask when I call and make my appointment. I feel like you have to have black hair to understand how to cut it. Now when I had a perm, I used to go to Vidal Sassoon and the non-black girls did a great job cutting it. Natural hair however different story!

Andrea is black. Although I'd calll her very light toffee myself . And wears her hair natural in a very hip, medium legnth 'fro.

NP, I'm AA with thick, coarse, natural shoulder-length hair and from experience I know that it's best to find a stylist who has experience working with my hair texture.

I've had horrible experiences with both black and white stylists who claimed that they "do" natural hair. These days, I groom my hair myself.

Why don't you try one of those shops up near Howard University/Georgia Ave.
