Meet Your Certified Curly Specialist
35+ Years of Experience • Ouidad Certified • Curl Education & Mastery
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.
