The One Person We're Super Thankful For Today

On a day when most of us are reflecting on life’s blessings while devouring plates of delicious food, it’s also important to remember those simple, but impactful pleasures…like the occasional hair appointment. 

For many black women, self-love includes learning to embrace our texture and stylists undoubtedly play an integral role in that journey. Also, bad hair days are just plain terrible.

So much so, that we asked six women to tell us exactly why they’re grateful for their hairstylists, all of whom can be found through Mayvenn, the genius site that allows stylists to sell product directly to client without having to worry about hidden costs and inventory. 

These testimonials are both heartwarming and all the convincing you need to try out the service yourself.
