Looking for more volume and curl near your root?
Check out her reaction the first time seeing her hair after her first curly cut and style! This young lady came in with a common request. Can it have more volume, and is it possible to get it to curl closer to the top? We accomplished this by taking a little length, adding a LOT of layers, and diffusing to encourage her curl. This session also included a lot of information on at home curl care. Have you been wanting to take the leap and get a curly cut? Come see us ☺️ Nich

Sometimes you just need a little shaping while your hair is growing out 😻 Have you ever taken the BOLD step to chop off all of your hair to get rid of an old relaxer? Well this gorgeous client did and she looks amazing! Getting frequent trims while growing out your hair doesn’t necessarily make it take longer. It does however keep your hair healthy and in the right shape while it’s growing, so that you can feel great about it and enjoy every phase of the grow out. If you n

Natural Shine
This is one of those before and afters where I feel like yall aren’t going to believe me that we didn’t color her hair. But I swear we didn’t! It all starts with the cleanse. Getting the layers of product and hard water build up off of the hair lets it reflect the light and shine the way it’s meant to. Anyhow, this lovely lady saw another one of my clients at a cooking class and decided she needed to give us a try. How did we do? If you’re struggling with your curls and need

Straight what??
A little something about me as a hairdresser that you may not already know. I was not always a curl specialist (in fact, I was not always a hairdresser at all. This is a second career for me but I digress). In my early days of hairdressing, I worked in a wonderful salon in downtown Delray Beach, Florida. An organic hair salon that specialized in dry cutting. Back in those days, we would straighten most clients’ hair before cutting it. Every once in a while, I get the opportu

Curly Perms!
Want a semi-permanent way to make your waves tighter? Well that’s what we did for this second-time @curlcult perm client! This alternative perming system doesn’t have the strong odor of a traditional perm. And the results fade out over months so you’re not left with an awkward grow out. If you want to make your straight hair wavy, or make your wavy hair curly, hit us up for a consultation, and let’s see if this is the solution for you! #Perm #curlyperm Nichole Clark Saint...

When someone comes in saying they want to lose a significant amount of hair, I always measure for donation whether they bring up donating or not. And sometimes we have enough for a surprise donation! It's a feel good moment when you realize the hair you were going to cut off anyway is now going for a good cause. And cutting this all off in the back gave us a great starting point for the slightly A-line bob she requested:) Thanks, Samantha, for the surprise donation and for tr

Low maintenance styling…
Always short on time but still want your curls to shine? ✨ This client needed a low-maintenance routine that works fast. We started by removing buildup so her curls could actually drink up moisture again. Then we kept it simple: 💧 Step 1: A smoothing cream for slip and softness 💪 Step 2: A strong-hold gel for lasting definition In the salon, we dried her under the hood for maximum definition — but at home, she’ll air dry and still get gorgeous results. Want to see what a si

“Why can’t I get my curls to look the way you do them at the salon?” 👀 We hear this every single week, and the truth is — it’s not just the products, it’s the process. When we style curls in the salon, we take our time working gel through the hair section by section. This ensures every curl is evenly coated, properly hydrated, and able to form its natural pattern without frizz. That’s the secret behind that defined, juicy, long-lasting curl you love when you leave here. 💫 A

Healthy curls take time — and this is proof 💫 One year apart, same client, same gorgeous waves — but look at the difference in shine, shape, and bounce! When we let go of old color and focus on care, hydration, and consistency, the curls reward us. They become more defined, more uniform, and so much easier to style. It’s not about a quick fix — it’s about learning what your curls need and giving them time to thrive. Would you have the patience to grow out all your color for
