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

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

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

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

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

“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

Winter curl tips
Winter can be one of the hardest seasons for curly hair — cold air outside, dry heat inside, and low humidity all work against your curls’ natural moisture balance. ❄️💨 If your curls have been feeling frizzy, flat, or dry lately, you’re not alone! Here are a few curl specialist-approved ways to keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and defined all winter long: 💧 1️⃣ Deep condition regularly. Curly hair already tends to be dry, and winter only makes it worse. A weekly deep condi

Before ➡️ Before ➡️ After ✨ This sweet young lady came in for her second curly cut with us last week. For reference, I pulled up her original “before” picture from her very first visit — and wow, what a difference! At that first appointment, we focused on more than just the haircut. We talked about scalp care, proper shampooing and conditioning techniques, and how to style in a way that supports her curl pattern. Fast forward to her second visit, and you can see the differenc
