The Specialists Salon is a hair salon in Irondale, Alabama, with a menu that covers color, texture and braiding work, plus waxing, full lash sets and treatments for hair and scalp. The salon is owned by Devan Woods, a cosmetologist who also teaches silk press and color classes to other hairstylists.
Color is the core of the menu. Services range from temporary color and a semi-permanent demi color for gray hair to root touch-ups, bleach and tone, full color, and foil highlights in partial, half-head and full-head sizes. Color services require a consultation before booking and are done in one color at a time. For new clients and major color changes, an in-person consultation is part of the process.
Hair texture work is another focus. The salon offers relaxers and keratin treatments, a smoothing treatment described as reducing frizz and humidity-related swelling, chemical curls, a texturizer, and a signature range of silk press services called Love Press. New clients book Love Press & Cut for their first visit. Braiding covers extension installs and removals, straight and designer braids, comb twists and re-twists for natural hair and dreads, two-strand twists and plaits, and box, tree and micro braids by appointment as availability allows.
Visits also include shampoo, styling and conditioning services, scalp and hair treatments, and a set of waxing options from lip and chin through full leg and Brazilian. The salon sells Brazilian virgin hair bundles, frontals and closures, and it offers an online silk press webinar and a silk press product. A deposit is required at booking. Cancellations under 24 hours and no-shows forfeit the deposit, and late cancellations and no-shows may be charged part or all of the service price.
Color work begins with a consultation, and each appointment is planned around one color at a time.
