📣 PSA for my curly parents...
If your teenager is 13+, this one’s for you.
Our teens are growing up in a world that asks them to compare themselves every single day.
Social media, endless screen time, filters, trends, opinions... it’s a lot. They’re trying to figure out who they are while scrolling through who everyone else appears to be.
One thing I can help with? Their relationship with their hair.
When your teen sits in my chair, yes... I’m probably going to remind them to sit up straight. 😅
Not because I’m picking on them.
Because posture matters.
It helps me create an even, balanced haircut, and it’s a habit that benefits their neck, shoulders, confidence, and overall well-being long after they leave the salon.
No, I’m not here to save anyone.
But I am here to teach them how to understand their curls, take care of them, and leave feeling more confident than when they walked in.
And respectfully...
TikTok can’t see your curl pattern in real life. I can. 😉
Summer flies by, and before you know it, backpacks are packed and school starts again in mid-August.
Let’s get them feeling fresh, confident, and ready to walk into the new school year with hair they actually know how to manage.
✨ Books are open.
Love, your neighborhood Curly Hair Alchemist... who’s absolutely going to remind your teenager to lift their chin, roll their shoulders back, and stop looking at the floor while I’m cutting. 😘✂️
She loved it and still freaked out a bit. 😘🫶🏼💐
Big Hugs to my clients who got through their largest fears of cutting and Lived to tell the tale with a sigh of relief and still many inches on their heads😉🥰
June has a waitlist
July is open with availability
New guest curl sessions await!

Not every curl needs water.
Sometimes it needs a little jewelry.

Alt Glamour Curly Hair Transformation
I worked with a client who has gorgeous thick hair to create an editorial, high-fashion look with dramatic curls. We discuss how I strategically removed bulk while opening up her face, creating movement, and building shape without making the cut look choppy or disconnected.
😍The result is a stunning alt glamour transformation that exceeded her expectations.

For a long time, I thought becoming a better curl specialist meant becoming more loyal to the method.
Now I think becoming better meant learning when to loosen my grip.
My foundation started with Lorraine Massey’s philosophy and the Curly Girl Method.
It taught me things I’ll always respect:
— stop fighting texture
— look at shape differently
— work with what naturally exists
That education changed my career.
But over 15+ years behind the chair, I noticed something:
Clients started trying to fit themselves into systems…
instead of systems adapting to them.
More moisture.
Less shampoo.
Avoid ingredients.
Follow rules.
And while those things can absolutely be useful…
they aren’t universal.
So today, I don’t offer a “DevaCurl cut.”
Not because I reject my training.
But because I evolved from it.
I kept the philosophy.
Expanded the toolbox.
Questioned more.
Observed more.
Personalized more.
My job isn’t to make your curls fit the method.
My job is to make the method fit YOU.
Curious….have you ever outgrown something that once helped you? 🌙✨
