Hey all,

So I have received my second system from toplace, which is also my first custom system. ONLY the color and wave are custom, as I still do not have a solid template.

My questions have to do with Didi (the stylist) in midtown Manhattan. I have called her and spoke to her on the phone, but she always seems SO busy and I don't particularly want to bother her. With that said, I am looking to book her for a cut-in of my new system this week.

1) I still (obviously) wear my old system that I cut to my head. Do people go in with the old system still attached? I would prefer to do this, as I am very scared of seeing somebody I know without a system on.

1b) If I go in with old system attached, do I bring lace release, citrus, etc??.. all things I usually use to clean up.

2) Do I bring my own tape/glue? (I wear only tape so should I bring what I have?)

3) If you do not go with your old system attached, do you go with the new one ALREADY attached? I would prefer for her to cut it specifically to my head, in which case I can't be wearing it already. However, the thought of bringing my custom system in a plastic bag also give me anxiety haha.

4) Somebody mentioned she has a private room in the salon. Is this true? This would be ideal, and make it worth the price for me.

5) Price? (a non-issue for perfection in my case)

6) How skilled is she really? If it's still attached is she a pro at removing, cleaning and attaching again..?

This is all still very new to me and I'm trying my best to get it perfect. Thank you in advance to anybody who has insight..!
