My version of a Curly Mullet that still has PLENTYYY of shape
Liv is now entering a new era in life with this cut 🥹 isn’t it crazy how much a haircut can really change the overall vibe?
We DEFF said we weren’t ready for it but SOMETIMES we just need to take it slow while the vision comes to life.
HMU to chop ur curls off 🔥
Our goal with the heart shape was to have a fun, playful shape that could be worn in all forms! Fluffed out and slept on but still look fire.
We left some longer curls around the hairline to add some extra jazz cause we are not boring with this cut OKAY!!!!
UM I made my friends curly/wavy hair LONGER!
Dear curlies-I’m working hard on nailing down handtied curly extensions.
I’m low key…in AWE of watching my friends hair change…let alone the curls/waves look so natural.
This was also my first color match 🥹 I’m livingggg.
A very cute haircut for a very amazing human ❣️
Light reshape and weight removal for this babe. This cut will last her about 3-5 months while she grows out her previous color.
This was a reallllly fun haircut. Can y’all believe half of her hair is shaved off in back?!!!!
This is the curly hairstyle that keeps on giving!

If you like your waves at their FULL potential…
Gels, products with hold, & diffusing are non negotiable. Just sayin!!! 🤷🏼♀️
We left these waves with a light cast so she could get multiple days out of her curl pattern. Over a couple of days the curls will stretch out because that’s what they naturally do.
The haircut DEFF helps the shape and waves bounce up a lil more too ✨
Um excuse me WHAT?! 🥵🥵🥵
🔥Cut & style by yours truly
🔥Color by the one and only
🔥Hair and absolute babeness
Just some curly soft mullet inspo 🎉
Does she look great with both haircuts? YEA.
Did she feel way too average with her normal long layers? YEUH.
So we jazzed it up ❣️ I actually think this will grow out perfectly too.
A before and after from my previous diffusing video 🔥
I love how big she wears her curls!! Styled using Innersense curl memory layered with I create hold AND foam.
NEW BEGINNINGS ! This is the first step towards growing out old damaged curls.
Curls that are damaged by heat or (in this case) chemicals (like lightener) are extremely unpredictable.
We LOVED these results from this curly cut and I’m reallly looking forward to watching her curls transform over the next year+.
Having a specialist by your side while transitioning curl damage is extremely helpful. We’re there for the ups, the downs, and the in-between. Allowing for a little bit of an extra shield when you’re feeling in doubt.
TIPS FOR CUTTING CURLS/WAVES ON WET HAIR ⬇️
Yes it can be done to get specific results. Yes..I’m very aware of a few key things when I take this approach as a curl specialist.
✨ IT WILL SHRINT UP. IT WILL SHRINK UP . IT WILL SHRINK UP. At every single moment I’m cutting curly/wavy hair wet I am thinking about how it will shrink up when it dries in its natural state.
✨After my haircut I have to RE-WET the hair to apply products properly! I’m not throwing Gel into hair that’s somewhat dry. I won’t get realistic results.
✨ It’s not the tool that shreds someone’s hair it’s the person holding it 🌞 For this cut I used a combo of feather and my straight razor. It allows me to carve the curls out for added texture, remove weight to shrink the curls inwards, AND speeds up my timing. My choice of tool will always assist me in desired results & timing.
Get a haircut that can do both 🥵🥵
This haircut can be styled in so many different ways. Some more masc & some more femme. Whatever they’re feeling is gunna be the style .
Ty for the trust always!
I’m here for all your curly hair chopping needs 🫡
Styled using I create hold and I create lift volumizing foam. My power couple combo for air drying✨
TBH the world of curls has changed y’all!! It’s like…. almost TOO MUCH confusing styling information is out there.
let’s chat for a sec 🌿 Sometimes, styling curls can seem like a complex puzzle. But simplicity comes from understanding the ‘why’ behind our choices.
Y’all follow?
Why this gel, this cream, no pop or shampoo???? Yadda yadda yaddda. Do they bring out the best in our hair expectations?
If you’re feeling lost/confused that’s exactly why I would trust a dedicated curl specialist.
They’ll help figure out YOUR whys.
Intentional choices lead to SIMPLICITY! Confidence in your choices bring proper EXPECTATIONS.
Everyone is different and your choices should work for you.
BEFORE ➡️ AFTER modern curly bob
Tbh I wasn’t really loving the previous diamond shape for this babe. So we switched it to curly frenchy bob. With soft layering and some curly framing to add longevity.
She mentioned not being afraid of going shorter (like at all) so I didn’t let anything hold me back from finding the perfect length.
Effortless natural curly styling using I create hold & I create lift volumizing foam by Innersense ❣️
🚨First curly haircut ever!
It is wild how much a haircut can completely transform a person.
15 years ago this babe had a pretty traumatizing haircut experience which lead her to stay “safe” with her haircuts. Along with getting haircuts that were styled straight.
We took about 5 inches of length off and a wholllleeee lotttttaaaa weight out. Which allows the curls and waves to bounce up and inwards for effortless volume.
I’ll say I think this is a timeless haircut that keeps on giving. It’s great for someone wanting change without taking off length.
Ty for letting me be apart of your curly hair cut journey. Special mega thanks for driving up to Chicago and letting me give your first (cute af) bangs!
Let’s pause for a moment to appreciate this curly moment 🥲
✂️Grown out) Curly cut & color by me. Still looks good af.

Ty for sharing this photo with me Deidre! I just love seeing the whole vibe come together.
Ty Chicago for keeping the curls cute
Curly cut shape up 😮💨 **styled with my new fav combo!
Styled using I create volume and I create definition.
Instead of layering I styled by mixing the two together. With my portion being around 1/4th of the Definition foam to Volume lotion.
Not too sure if we’ll use this combo in winter but I loveeee it for Chicago summers!
Just some and before and after action for y’all.
For these beautiful curls we decided to add more layers than normal WITHOUT the curly bang!! I love how it turned out.
We styled these naturally gray curls using I create volume and I create definition by .
I also did a lil mix if powder MIXED with the whipped texturizer (can also use hairbalm) to add texture on the ends.
Hello it is true 😭
BUT sculpt will still go on and fkn slay. I can’t express how much thought went into choosing these top artist to come to chicago. Each and everyone one of them have so much to share alongside our amazing sponsors.
The number one thing I see behind the chair is my clients wanting a color service more catered to their curls. As well as a super soft natural grow out. Which is why I choose high and low impact curl painting most of the time. You’ll be receiving a zoom (or google meet???) link to attend a separate class September 11th. This will also be available in person for those who choose to come.
See ya soon y’all!!!!!
Here to make things a little easier! Happy Monday y’all ❣️
Do we still love a good before and after photo? Because I do 🥹👉👈
This babe hasn’t had their haircut in overrr a year but it’s growing out. So we reshaped from a friend out Bob to a softer shape.
It’s giving more shape & better grow out! Thanks for ur trust ❣️
P sure I styled this using I create volume & I create definition mixed together…..🤷🏼♀️
Well will ya look at that! It has officially been 2 years since & myself landed back in Chicago!

2 years ago I had no idea I would be where I’m at. I’m FINALLY feeling like I’m getting out of survival mode. These past (almost) 3 years have been a series of up’s and downs. Which all lead to where I’m at now. A fkn baller bathroom in my salon 🤣. In March 2020 I had a bob, lived in Oakland, didn’t have a cat, and was so unsure of what was next for me. With every new step I take I have reminded myself to be kind to ME! Things don’t happen over night…but holy F….I’ve done a lot in 2 years. Thankful for what’s next. Thankful for the team. I am finally finding my groove again. Ily all A LOT.

A whole dang MOOD ❤️🔥

This babe hasn’t had her hair professionally shaped up in a couple years. She requested a shape that allowed her hair to be fluffed up to the hair gawddds & a shape that will grow out well. Say no more cause that is my JAM.
•
I know they say pictures are donezooo and I should make more reels but like…how cute is this before and after 🥹. Styled using I create volume and I create lift volumizing foam.

Brought out this babes beautiful natural waves!
•
•
For this haircut I did a combination of dry cutting and razor cutting. This allows me to take some weight out and softly sculpt some of her waves. Styled using I create hold and I create lift volumizing foam.

Thanks for your trust ❤️

giving us all the hair inspo ❤️🔥

Jaylin loves her curls fluffed out to the max with minimal definition. I generally start with a strong curl cast using I create volume and the smoooolllest bit of smoothing cream. This allows me to start with a cast, adjust any curls I need too post style, then fluff her hair out without loosing all the definition! Thanks for your trust always ❤️

Fran!

It was such a pleasure to cut these curls for an old friend. Next step-go blonde af 🥹.

A lil pop of color for this babe!
•
•
We usually stick around warmer colors like pink or copper but this time we wanted to do a more impactful pop of color. Tbh yellow sticks around way longer than a lighter pink too 💛
