35+ Years of Experience • Ouidad Certified • Curl Education & Mastery

Book with Lorraine

Curls aren’t just a service for me — they’re a specialty I’ve mastered over decades.
As a stylist who has worked with every texture, every curl pattern, and every type of hair challenge you can imagine, I became Ouidad Certified to give curly clients the expertise they’ve been missing.

WHY I BECAME A CURL SPECIALIST

After decades behind the chair, I kept seeing the same issues:

  • Curly clients leaving salons with triangle cuts

  • Frizz caused by the wrong technique

  • Damage from stylists using straight-hair cutting methods

  • No education on how to style curls

  • Overthinning, overcutting, or overlayering

I wanted to fix that.

That’s why I pursued Ouidad Certification, one of the highest levels of curl training in the industry.

WHAT MY TRAINING INCLUDES

Ouidad Carve & Slice technique

  • Curl pattern & density mapping

  • Hydration-based styling

  • Curl-safe coloring and lifting

  • Cutting curls for face shape, lifestyle & shrinkage factor

  • Advanced curl correction & rebalancing

  • Multi-texture specialization (2A–4C)

  • Inclusive training for all ethnicities

This is not a “curl cut class.”
This is professional-level curl mastery

MY CURL PHILOSOPHY

Curls aren’t meant to be tamed — they’re meant to be understood.

I believe in:

  • Moisture before volume

  • Definition before layers

  • Hydration over heavy oils

  • Enhancing your natural pattern

  • Cutting with intention

  • Making curls manageable, not complicated

When you sit in my chair, my focus is always:
health → definition → shape → education.
