How have I not written a review? We went to Lauren a year ago and she transformed my daughter's…read morevery scraggly long hair and just overhauled it with hydration! She hated having curly hair for years and being part African American, I wanted her to be proud of her uniqueness and embrace the beauty of her curls. The cost is so worth it because you get fully educated on the qualities of curly hair that require certain steps products and care along with a dry cut (must have with curls, you can't cut curly hair while wet bc obvi with the springing back of length!!) then wash deep conditioning and hydration then styling. As a curly haired person you've gotta learn it to love your curls. Lauren is so sweet and so knowledgeable and the atmosphere is so positive with everyone there with beautiful curls and full of expertise certified by the DevaCurl institute so you know you're getting top level cue care. Tbh seeing the positive change to my daughters curls and seeing Lauren's before and after photos on her social media, I was inspired at some of them, women who have "lazy frizzy hair" like mine and how they had legit curls once they were properly cared for. So, using the same products as my daughter, I've embraced curls I never knew existed!!! So grateful to finally learn about my natural curl pattern 41 years later! Can't believe I had this all along too! I'll splurge for my own cut in a few months because I want to see what potential my curls have after a proper curly cut, too! Love the vibe here.

BLACK CURLS IN OC HAVE A SAFE PLACE!! Michelle is so amazing at what she does, she has helped my…read morecurl pattern recover DRAMATICALLY after years of incorrect haircuts! Michelle not only recognizes my various curl types, but cuts each accordingly, layer by layer! When I first came to see Michelle for her customized curly experience, I was so nervous! Curly cuts don't come cheap!!! And admittedly, I wasn't totally convinced that a white woman in South OC could deliver...but after years of bad haircuts, I was recovering from layers cut incorrectly, and decided it was time to commit to fixing it with a curly cut. Michelle genuinely blew me away with her work and I could SEE it was worth it! By taking the time to notice the different curl patterns throughout my hair, cutting with a purpose of fixing the damage, and hand curling each of my tired layers, I finally got a haircut that left me with an authentic BIG smile! From that moment it was decided, and everyone has seen the change in my hair since! My hair is so much happier and healthier now that I've been seeing Michelle for the past 11 months! I admittedly don't even go on a consistent schedule, just when I feel when things need a trim, but the difference is OBVIOUS. My hope for any OC parents of kids with curls ESPECIALLY biracial kids whose hair you're still learning--come to Michelle!! Michelle knows type 3 and type 4 hair and does justice for my various type 3 curls, making me so happy every time I come to see her. Y'all she knows what she is DOING!!

TLDR: Michelle is incredible! She is the best thing that happened to my curls in decades! With her…read morecut and techniques I consistently still have amazing curls from day 1 to day 5 (and that once included a day at an amusement park with rollercoasters on day 4)! I will definitely be going back and I cannot recommend her enough for anyone with curls whether you are new to being a curly girl or a longterm curly veteran! I guarantee you will learn something from her! Longer version: I've followed various curly girl methods for over 20 years and have been getting curly hair cuts for just as long. If there is a wash/style/refresh method of doing hair or a curly product I have probably tried it at some point. That said, new things come out and I love learning so every few years I'll try a different stylist just to see if they teach me new techniques I don't know. Michelle blew me away! Not only did she give me a phenomenal hair cut with great layers but she showed me her techniques and products. I had been introduced to Innersense before and wasn't really blown away but Michelle did a great job explaining the products and why they are cleaner/easier to use with less heavy oils than some other curly products. In the past, I have gotten good curl definition but usually have pretty significant frizz by day 3-4 but with Michelle's methods I have almost no frizz or halo at day 5, despite still having decent volume and amazing definition. Not only that but I had to do a wash/style day during a work trip and only needed half the amount of product I previously used which is HUGE for me since I almost always travel with only carry-ons. The products really are cleaner/easier to use than anything I have tried. I have also always struggled with refreshing my curls between wash days, but she went over her technique with me and I am now able to refresh my hair easily without it coming out stringy/greasy or wet enough that I felt like I should just do another wash day. Plus she pointed out a line of damage from where I was always ponytails/pinappling my curls and so now I am being more intentional about changing up my implements for putting my hair up. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, and I love that she still attends continuous education to constantly improve herself. She is definitely my new stylist for the foreseeable future and I am so incredibly glad I decided to try her!
