Our Services
We offer a range of services designed to cater to the unique needs of curly hair. Our signature services include:
- CurlyCuts: A revolutionary dry-cutting technique designed specifically for curly hair. Our stylists use this technique to create a customized look that accentuates your natural texture and curl pattern.

- Pintura Highlights: A unique highlighting technique that adds light-reflecting highlights to curls, giving your hair a radiant, dimensional look.
- Curl Coaching: A personalized session with your stylist to teach you the fundamentals of daily curl care, including how to maintain your curls and prevent frizz.
Our Team
Our team of expert stylists, including owner and senior stylist Susie Ogolia, senior stylist Bill Santos, junior stylist Sarah Schenone, and junior stylist JJ Lozada, are all specially trained in the Devacurl method of cutting and styling for curly hair. We are committed to providing personalized attention and personalized product prescriptions to ensure that each client leaves our salon feeling confident and beautiful in their own unique curl pattern.
Preparing for Your Appointment
To ensure that our stylists can provide the best possible service, please arrive at your appointment with your hair in its natural state, fully dry and detangled. Try to avoid using styling products before your appointment, as this can affect our ability to assess your hair's natural texture and curl pattern.
