    A woman who looks like me on your show ! Talking about my type of hair ! Sali, I'm a long time fan. My husband is journalist and I have the upmost respect for the way you carry yourself and embody the profession. For everything you represent as a woman. BUT THIS ! Sociologically and psychologically, you are soothing my bullied soul. Thank you so much.

    Amazing! Thank you Sally and Charlotte. I've been reading about Charlotte in black hair magazines for years and had no idea of her incredible life story. I'm very inspired.

    I remember Splinters, my Dad’s girlfriend who was in London on a course used to go there. Huge Salon. I like this Lady very much and her whole ethos. Well done and thank you Sali.

    Charlotte is so inspiring, she makes it feel possible to have a business - the way she talks about how she achieved success and how normal she is.. normals not a bad thing, but I relate to her is what I mean!

    This is such a lovely interview and yes, it is bloody good to see a black woman on ITBW. It’s very rare (and not a race thing) to see and hear a textured hair specialist discussing my type of hair on a mainstream media platform. So diolch yn fawr iawn Sali.
    It’s also made me really really want to go and get my hair done by Charlotte now. If other people can manage to fly in from African countries to get their hair done at her salon, then surely I can manage it from west Wales.

    when she said she was 22 in the 90s i couldn't believe it i thought she was only about 28 now lol

    Such a warm, loving personality, I love the way she talks about her profession or rather her calling. One of my favourite childhood memories is actually my dad washing and styling my hair (it used to be down to my waist), so I totally get her nurturing approach 😊 All the warms and fuzzies 😘

    I've never been keen on hairdressers, but when you find one, that can work with you - you never want to let them go. We all want, what our hair can't really do, but a good hairdresser will advise you, what you CAN have and what will work - sadly, some hairdressers move on and the search continues, once again. Great interview as usual - really enjoyed. I had to see my MP regarding a problem - went to his surgery - if you connect with your MP than they can move mountains - literally! Wonderful, just watched the end of part one - to educate is so inspiring and fulfilling 👍

    wow she's so inspiring and interesting! what a great story in how she created her business. i wish there were more hairdressers in my area that could do thick and textured hair--i've got a weird jewish/asian/european mix and never get a great cut. can't wait for part 2!

    • @FengQingista
      @FengQingista Před 5 lety

      Madeline Vogel try finding a hairdresser who knows how to cut black and Asian hair. I am an Asian Jewish woman and finding a stylist who knows how to cut ethnic hair has been a game changer.

  • @mohayes1402
    @mohayes1402 Před 5 lety

    Thank you for introducing those of us who heard of Charlotte to her Sali! I could listen to her talk for hours and I can see the nurturing maternal aspect to what she does. It’s such an intimate thing to touch someone’s hair (I remember my mum stroking mine when I was going off to sleep as a child) and she really taps into that. Right, just putting the kettle on for part 2!

  • @sarapluviano410
    @sarapluviano410 Před 5 lety +3

    What a lovely woman, I wish I could visit her salon. I have had terrible experiences with hairdrassers, always judgy if not overtly brutal. They always used to say that I have terrible hair. Yes, flash news: I do know that. Problem is that it's not actually 'my fault' as I do take care of my hair, but stress has damaging consequences on me. But even if it was my fault, people should learn to be more kind. You don't know how your words can impact on others. Being said that, wonderful video. Thanks for that!

    It was a little awkward when you did your intro and she was moving things around.
    First thing I noticed was this bathroom is extremely CLEAN.
    Nothing better than a good massage hair washing and a blow out .
    Make up is number 2 . Hair definitely comes first

    I wish people wouldn’t make this racist - this is not a woman of colour - this is a woman!!!! Who honestly cares what colour her skin is?? Why make that a thing? . Thank you Sali for another amazing ITB, and thank you for bringing us this inspirational beautiful woman. Xxx

      Because people who are not white are treated differently every single day. It’s convenient for you, you can choose that it doesn’t matter to you, in your world. That’s not the world I live in. You think you’re being enlightened, but you’ve actually made a demeaning statement. You’re not acknowledging our struggle.

    • @glossy_af7579
      @glossy_af7579 Před 5 lety +4

      Perhaps, consider that it is A Thing, and to suggest otherwise would be idiotic in the extreme.

    • @dianafromcanada516
      @dianafromcanada516 Před 5 lety +8

      Hi Yasmin, I understand where you're coming from. To answer your questions I will just say that we live in a society where not all women are treated the same, not all women benefit from the same representation or promotion. Where inequalities have caused a great deal of suffering to many people, especially minorities (pertaining to ethnicity or various other issues). I think it's in our best interest not to undermine people's hardship or needs, their gratitude for acknowledgement, or any attempt to soothe a sense of otherness and bring people closer together in a more inclusive society.

    • @CMJames
      @CMJames Před 5 lety +2

      Declaring that your pleased to see an episode of this featuring a black women isn’t ‘racist’. Google racism, because that ain’t it lovely!

    @daloo3a Před 5 lety +1

    Hmmmm.... it's interesting... because she is a woman of colour and knows the struggles WOC go through... women who live in under funded inner London areas...WOC like her... most of them couldn't afford to go and do their hair with her... as for European hair again expensive ... wash cut and blow dry for £150 .... why? I respect her business principles and she had a lot of responsibility growing up and good for her for doing it
