Amber Curl Expert

The One Service for 2024 for the Curly + Wavy + Coily
“Signature Curl Cut Experience”

• in-depth consultation
Open, transparent + honest conversation. Noting is off limits and we are open to discuss all your future goals but also address questions, concerns or even past experiences.

• signature hybrid curl cutting techniques
I choose the best technique based off your curls, your hair and actual need. I choose a hybrid approach bc my experience has taught it me it’s not a one size fits all. Some curls do wonderful with a dry cut and some do wonders wet. All of this we can discuss at your appointment as the “why”.

• full detoxing of minerals, build up, woes 😏
build up and impurities can cause curls to be unmanageable and we transform curls with this must have detox

• we include a proper Cleansing session for your curls coupled with relaxing hydration treatment. (I’ve been known for some bomb head massages 💆‍♀️)

• we have a secret 🤫 we add a steam treatment through out this hair ceremony to truly transform your curls.

•We will conclude with a hands on education session, personalized product prescriptions and digital access for at home curl success

One of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a hairdresser is pick up, move and start all over.

But it’s also been one of the most humbling + beautiful experiences as stylist because it forced growth.

You get to see what your made of when you strip away comforts + unfamiliarity.

You appreciate the good memories + good people even more.

I think the one thing as a stylist I know I am is a little bit of heart + soul. It’s important to me to be integral, truthful, honest. It’s important to me to inspire, relate, converse about the true things in life.

We all need a thoughtful pop up reminder of how mad rad we all are 🙏🏽👏🏽👍🏾👊🏼🙌🏿✌🏽🤟🏻👐🏿🫶🏾

Some days you just have to represent.

Swipe through a couple examples of what happens around here ⏩

This Curl Queen needed a refresh and I added a picture of her before, during her dry cut and after with styling.

It’s a good example of adding in layers even when we want to keep our length and her curl pattern is softer at root and grows into gorgeous curl clumps.

I’m often asked about making the hair “curlier” on top or if our hair is laying flat what can we do?

✴️drying with purpose.

Clips can help immensely to lift the root. A longer duck bill style used around hairline might be the key 🔑 or if you use a diffuser try using a chopstick 🥢 to lift the hair up at crown while hover diffusing.

Using a foam or mouse scrunched up into the root for volume and texture. Will also add a little bit of styling memory but super lightweight.

Not hair related as much as life related but it’s raining 🌧️ + I’m finally feeling better after being brutally sick 😷 for what felt like an eternity >

I was able to update my Level 1 Curl Guide ✔️

I have been reaching for FOAMS ( and creating my own ) to finish ALL my styles.

Foams are a great product to scrunch in, refresh, set + define but unique to their amazing 💦 amount of H20 they help parched, limp curls hydrate + hold a curl style longer.

For my curl girls who ♥️ a stronger curl cast, a defining foam is the chefs kiss to make those curls L A S T!!

Nope, I don’t have kids.

I do tote around 🐕‍🦺 an 8 pound baby though 🐾

London does have curly hair, has an amazing maintenance program to keep her curls looking fly and gets the best bang trims in between visits.

North Idaho flannel sponsored by my Dads closet and if you haven’t checked out the amazing trails in the Silver Valley … get out here.

What Makes A Haircut, A Curly Hair Cut?

⚡️Designed For Your Curls, Lifestyle + Goals.

⚡️Your Curls Leave Styled + Enhanced.

⚡️ Product Education

☝🏼That one can be tricky… but here me out. Many have been confused by the AMOUNT of “curly hair product.

My goal will always be to have honest conversations with your needs, goals and lifestyle in mind. I want you to feel empowered to choose, to explore and to play.

I also love a little chemistry and science talk while we learn to apply product 🤓

You said “modern day Audrey Hepburn pixie.” ♥️

IG is pushing those 🔄 Memories

and I can’t believe how time flies.
I see pictures of myself… can we just have one moment where we acknowledge how much hair color plays a role in our identity…

I don’t recognize myself when im not the lightest all over blonde platinum yum as possible.

And at this very moment that’s ok. Rings me to todays in salon conversations with the curly girls:

If you want to try those bangs… do it.

If you want that pixie … get it.

And for the love of everything … if you want to blow your hair straight 🤣 … just go for it.

Walking away from the overly critical and weirdness. I’ll be over here growing out my roots, crunchin out my waves ✌🏽 but giving yall Mad Rad Hair regardless

F.A.Q

This wonderful women grew her curls 3 years after cutting at home pixie during the pandemic, to say it’s an honor to give people a haircut is an understatement.

When they invest in finding a Curl Specialist, drive hours away, book a hotel and come with their journal, pencil and questions ready and willing to learn something new I am humbled.

We spent time learning the essential elements < I’ll trademark that for my curl care lessons!

while bed head gives us some awesome texture … it also can be quite scary 🤣

And don’t forget to google “Amber Curl Expert” to find my corner piece of the interwebs 📲

Shape, Hydrate, Set

Shape : I designed a Hybrid Curl Hair Cutting approach for YOUR curl goals.

BEFORE the Dyson came out…. Trying to find an alternate to clunky diffusers was so difficult.

Backstage NY Fashion Week they had some funny looking attachments …

This Diffuser has been with me 10+ years. It still travels to different countries with me. It is still at my station. And is still one of my GO TO tools for curly hair.
