One word, blessing. If you have curly hair you need to RUN to this place. I got my first curly cut today and I can not say enough good things about this place.
You start off talking about your issues and desires for your curly mane. For me it was mainly frizz and uneven curls along with some damaged ends and lack of volume, so I wanted a trim. My hair was almost at my waist when I came in and I lost about two inches with both the cut (1 inch) and how much curlier my hair got.
You then get a course on how to clean your hair while your stylist does it for you. They use the deva curl no poo shampoo followed by the "smoothing" technique with tons of conditioner which for me was where the magic happened. My hair started to get shiny and curl all on its own.
After rinsing you move into gel which normally I hate bc I don't like hard hair but once dry you scrunch again and it softens. Then you learn the "clipping" technique to provide volume to your mane.
Finally you get your hair air dried followed by the cut. Yes your hair is cut dry which is KEY. Since for me it was just a trim not much hair was cut which is exactly how I like it
Melanie did my hair and she did an amazing job with the whole thing she explained everything so well and I am extremely happy with it. My first cut was $70 and everything was included I also get a refresher course which I'm not entirely sure what that means so I will update later.
If you have curly hair you need to give this place a shot!!!!
