A Little Backstory...

With over 20 years of experience in the cosmetology industry, and 12 years specializing in curly hair, I’ve gained extensive knowledge about texture—knowledge that was never taught in hair school.

Many clients come to the salon requesting a haircut and style that allows them to embrace their natural texture every day, only to leave with smooth, sleek hair they struggle to replicate at home. This common issue typically arises from two main factors:

1. Miscommunication during the initial consultation
2. Stylists lacking the necessary skills to properly work with textured hair
   
   
   

In my experience, textured hair requires a different approach, both in terms of technique and understanding. It's not just about cutting or styling; it's about knowing how to read the hair’s unique pattern and texture, and adjusting your methods to ensure the client can recreate their look at home with confidence.

Many stylists still believe that people with curly hair want to wear it straight—this stems from eurocentric beauty standards that I often talk about. However, from years of working behind the chair, I can tell you that this simply isn’t true. If clients had the right guidance on how to work with their natural hair patterns, 9 out of 10 would proudly wear their natural curls. This is where you, as a beauty professional, can step in and make a real difference.

The Curl Specialist Textbook: A Professional Guide to Wavy, Curly & Coily Hair

What you weren’t taught in cosmetology school is costing you clients.

Most foundational training barely scratches the surface when it comes to natural texture. Stylists are left guessing—struggling with inconsistent results, low client retention, and a lack of confidence behind the chair.

This textbook changes that.

Developed from over two decades behind the chair and 14+ years specializing exclusively in natural texture, this 250-page professional resource breaks down exactly how to understand, approach, and work with wavy, curly, and coily hair—without guesswork.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• How to accurately assess curl patterns, density, porosity, and behavior
• The science behind why curls respond the way they do
• Step-by-step approaches to washing, styling, and drying for consistent results
• Product selection based on function—not marketing
• How to troubleshoot common frustrations (frizz, lack of definition, dryness, inconsistency)
• How to create results your clients can actually recreate at home

This is not theory-heavy fluff. It’s a practical, behind-the-chair system designed for real-world application.

The same methodology has already helped stylists:

• Increase client satisfaction
• Build stronger retention
• Attract more texture-focused clientele
• Raise pricing with confidence

Early feedback from in-person trainings and online education has been clear: stylists are hungry for this knowledge—and when they apply it, their work changes immediately.

Coming soon for the first time, that education will be available in a complete, structured textbook format.

If you’re ready to stop avoiding curly clients—or finally become known for them—this is your starting point.
