Because Of Drea focuses on natural hair, including hair that spirals, swirls, waves, whirls, loops, and curls. The menu runs from wash-day care and trims to braids, twists, wash-and-go styling, and silk presses.
The Gainesville salon is in Salon Lofts on Gateway Center Drive. Its listed hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, with Wednesday and Saturday closed. The Alexandria location on Richmond Highway is listed as open on Tuesdays.
Many services start with a consultation. A natural hair consultation, a color consultation, and a clip-in extension consultation are each $35. A hydration consultation reviews the current condition of the hair, then covers moisturizing treatments and a suggested routine. Clients who book a first visit within 30 days of a natural hair consultation get 10% off.
One-on-one hair care classes cover cleansing, styling, and maintenance, and are booked by phone at 571-259-3102. A mommy-and-me class walks through every step of wash day, with tools and products to take home and tips along the way.
Care is built around moisture, bonding, and scalp health, with consultations ahead of larger services.
