BABS Salon & Spa

For more than 500 years, Dominican women have been perfecting beautiful, healthy hair. Their washing, drying, brushing, and wrapping techniques are combined with the natural products native to their country (avocado, silk, coconut, olive, cinnamon oils, and the slime of snails). The result is a silky head of hair full of body and shine!

There are more than 3,000 Dominican salons throughout the New York City metropolitan area offering their clientele the hair experience of a lifetime: The Dominican Silk Wrap.

And here at BABS in Birmingham, we have our own 100% Dominican and N.Y.C native. Iris uses all natural Dominican products straight from the Dominican Republic. Her clients are loving their hair after their Dominican Silk Wrap experience.

The Dominican Silk Wrap helps to prevent breakage and eliminate frizz. The natural products that she uses restore capillary functions, regulate sebaceous glands, and promote hair growth by hydrating and strengthening hair. This service is especially designed for women with textured hair, so more and more African American women are turning to the Dominican Silk Wrap for beautiful, natural hair.

Dominican salons do not prefer the use of hot irons/combs and harsh chemicals on a regular basis, because the overuse of all these things can play a detrimental role in the health of hair. Their own special techniques are renowned for producing luxurious, healthy hair. For women wanting straight hair without the use of chemicals, Iris will perform a very Dominican technique called a Doobie or "dry wrap." In this technique, the hair is brushed and wrapped tightly around the head (after the wash and blow dry experience), pinned, and then wrapped with a silk head scarf. The longer you wear your wrap the better, so wearing it overnight is suggested.

The Dominican Silk Wrap experience starts at $60, and Iris (la estilista) is waiting to book your appointment.
