Gentle blending
At @saloncleancurly , it’s not always just about curly cuts and styling. Sometimes we’re here to bring creative color solutions to the table. So what do you do when you have old color that has grown out and faded, you want it to feel brighter and refreshed, you want to blend through a prominent grey streak in the front, but you don’t want to commit to a single process color and having to have it retouched every four weeks? Well for this client an all over lowlight was the ans

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

Ever wondered what a curly cut appointment actually looks like from start to finish? This is Amelie’s third time in our chair — and every visit looks a little different, because curly hair isn’t static. It grows, it changes, you change. This time she was ready to chop, and we were here for it. We always start with a real conversation. What’s going on with your curls, what’s working in your routine, what isn’t. Even with clients who really know their hair, there’s always somet

Hairdressers need hair cuts too!
Even curl specialists need a little love sometimes. 🥹 I recently trimmed my own hair, but it needed a little tweaking — so I reached out to Laura @lalaschoolhouse because she’s been doing some of the cutest short curly cuts, and honestly? I also just wanted to meet her. So many curl specialists work in isolation, and there’s something really special about being in the same space as someone who does what you do and speaks the same language. (I’ve also had the pleasure of seei

A Little About Me!
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

Wait, what?
Wait, what?? Why are you seeing straight hair on a curly profile?? We went waaaay outside the box for this one. This wonderful new client came in with her hair curling ironed. We had a very thorough consultation in which she stated that while she did want to get to a point where she wore her natural curl all of the time, currently she did style with an iron fairly often. Some of y’all may know that I started my career and an organic salon that specialized in dry hair cutting
