When I was growing up I had no clue my hair was even curly. I was convinced it was ugly, bad hair. I would constantly brush it, praying for it to stay small and not turn into a frizzy mess when it dried. Afraid to touch it because it would get bigger and frizzier the more I messed with it. 

Perhaps you can relate?

 

I was sick and tired of not knowing how to manage my hair.

Stylists never offered me styling advice. Instead, they would blow dry my hair straight or I left the salon with wet hair.

​​

In 2002, I met a woman named Lorraine Massey at a hair show. She invited me to come to NYC to learn her dry curly cutting technique called the Deva Cut. 

I love cutting curls dry, but I didn't love their styling products. 

I began researching curly products and how they react with our humid climate. What I discovered is that a lot of curly products are developed for a drier climate and focus on moisturizing the hair. This is not what you want if you live in a swamp. Too much moisture in a humid climate leads to soft, frizzy, unmanageable hair. If you are struggling with frizz or losing your curl pattern throughout the day, this is why.

​

I offer hypoallergenic and fragrance-free products in the salon. This allows friends with allergies, sensitivities and auto-immune diseases to be able to experience products that work and are safe to use.

​Being a Curlfriend myself, I understand the challenges that you've been dealing with. I am excited to share low maintenance curl methods to help simplify your life.

I invite you to come share stories of disasters and difficulties that you've been faced with on your curl journey.

​

If you're not a great communicator, don't worry! I am, and I know just what to ask. 

Our salon is a safe and inclusive safe space for all!
