Bossip Visits Celebrity Sew Ins And Chats With Tasha Marbury Early on in this season of Basketball Wives, viewers got a glimpse into the world of new comer Tasha Marbury and her journey in preparation for the opening of her latest venture “Celebrity Sew Ins,” a weave bar located in the Brownsville area of Brooklyn, NY. The January 2013 soft-opening of the weave bar was all but deemed a failure on the BBW episode itself, so BOSSIP decided to pay a visit to Celebrity Sew Ins to see what’s really going on with the salon and how they’re holding up almost 8 months after the episode was filmed during a recent “Champagne & Sew Ins” meet & greet event with Tasha herself. Upon entering the shop, which officially opened 2 months ago, it was evident that what was shown on the episode did it little justice. The space was tastefully draped in pink and white decor with a hanging chandelier above the welcome area and an all-white bar-like seating area with salon chairs and stylists at various stations ready to get busy. Customers were invited to walk the “pink carpet” before being escorted to the first station of the weave bar where they found a logo-bearing pamphlet featuring detailed information about available services, pricing and photos of celebrity-inspired style choices. Alongside the pamphlets were a variety of extensions to choose from provided by Glam Luxe hair company. After selecting hair, customers were then seated at the first station along the weave bar to get braided before heading over to the the second station for installation and styling. The basic time length for each service was 30 minutes, which you know is pretty impressive if you’re familiar with how long it normally takes to have a weave done. After satisfied customers finished getting styled, they were escorted to pose in front of the CSI pink carpet backdrop. Quite the one of a kind experience, we must admit. Of course you know we couldn’t leave without getting the 411 from Tasha about what really happened with “soft opening” shown on the show, whether or not she and Tami will actually be doing business together, what she thinks of her cast members at present, and more. Hit the flip to peep our chat with Tasha and more pics from her meet & greet, along with a pic of the first celebrity CSI customer, who you’ll probably recognize.
