Mane event: Hair store owner Gina Lane shows an interested customer two different types of human hair. Queen Virgin Remy hair store sells human hair.

Directly across 10 Mile from Southfield High, Gina Lane & Dennis McKinley opened the new Queen Virgin Remy Hair Store over the summer.

Though the original location was in Atlanta, Georgia, Lane decided to open her second location in Metro Detroit to expand the business and provide more women with good quality hair extensions.

“Business has been very good, as a matter of fact, since we opened in July,” said Lane.

Senior Nijah McNeal has already discovered the new store. “I bought my hair (last month) pre-washed it, and had it installed,” McNeal said.

“When I flat-ironed it, it was so silky,” McNeal said. “When I re-washed it, the original curl pattern came right back. The quality is so nice; I really like it.”

The new store that was formerly a dance studio features display shelves labeled with hair types, all of which are 100 percent human hair.

Hair choices all come in natural black and include Brazilian, Peruvian, Malaysian and Burmese. For Beyonce wannabees, the store also offers Russian blonde locks.

Prices at Queen Virgin Remy Hair start at $45 for one 12-inch bundle, and stop at $90 for one 30-inch bundle.

Patterns and textures are available in straight, wavy, or deep curly.

The store is located at 22090 W. 10 Mile Road. It’s open 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Monday – Saturday. The store’s phone number is 248-864-8321.
