Over three years ago, I got certified through DevaCurl as a curl specialist for haircuts. I can still remember my training like it was yesterday.
I went into the training thinking it would be a breeze because I had experience in the industry and was a licensed educator, but that was totally not the case. The class included other licensed hairstylists with many different backgrounds and experience levels. I went in thinking the class would be easy considering my background (from Florida with years of experience in textured hair), and that was a hard no! I really had to think about the angles, degrees, motions, and all the little details.
Needless to say, it was a humbling experience. Every single part of the DevaCurl training and curriculum was carefully thought out and perfected. Their technique for cutting, shampooing, and diffusing was awesome and worked so well for my curly, wavy, and extra-curly clients.
Still today, my clients love the service because of the education I provide, the time I take to understand their daily or weekly hair routine, and the effort I make to hear what they love about their curls. I don’t change what they love. I focus on what they’re willing to change and make sure they feel heard and fully understood.
With hair coloring being my number one requested service, DevaCurl haircuts come in as a strong number two. I love my textured hair clients because they all have a unique story to share about their “curly girl journey.”
