Our second stop was Natural Solutions, located in the heart of the inner city in the Historic Downtown district of Johnson City – also known as “Blue Plum Village.” Natural Solutions offers all types of hair care services and a full range of manicure services.
The shop contains a retail center offering natural hair products for
all the different types of curly and wavy hair found in the
multi-ethnic community: Miss Jessies, Curls/Curly Q’s and Mixed Chicks.
In the near future Natural Solutions plans to expand its product line
and hair accessories.
Born and reared in Johnson City, the owner, Teresa
McAdams-Newman moved away from the area for eight years, but returned
and decided to open Natural Solutions. When talking about multi-ethnic
Johnson City, Mrs. Newman speaks from a personal perspective; she has a
biracial son and understands that there is a large and growing biracial
community with a definite need for a salon that would provide products
and services specifically for their hair textures.
“Our goal is to provide a salon of comfort and relaxation while
offering natural hair care products and services produced by a growing
multi-ethnic team of independent stylists."
