Curly Hair Specialist
Welcome!
You’re in the right place !
Hiya, I’m Michael & I’m a curly hair specialist in San Diego providing a private, safe environment for all curly folks, with services that are genderless & non-discriminatory.
As a lifelong learner in love with all curls, coils, bends, wiggles & waves, my education includes Rezo Cut, Vidal Sassoon, Curly Hair Daze & Deva along with many other curly educators.
I love to cut lived in, easy, low maintenance styles & like to play with all sorts of clean beauty lines free of synthetic fragrance. My priority is to care for you & the health of the planet. As long as it meets the criteria of being All Natural & Eco Friendly, I like to throw it into the mix. My preferred cleansing, conditioning & styling goodies at this time are from Innersense Organic Beauty, Cult & King & Hairstory.
My intention is to provide you a unique & personal experience within my private salon space. I do not double book clients (unless requested). Your time is important to me & the vibe can be whatever you want or need that day.
A Silent Appointment or a Minimal Touch Appointment is always available to you. Just let me know in your appointment notes or after our initial consultation.
Tips for scheduling:
The schedule is open continually, 60 days out in advance.
Please choose the first availability that works for your schedule. You can add yourself to the waitlist as well & will be notified of a sooner opening. You are allowed to be both scheduled & on the waitlist at the same time. If you do not see an opening, please add yourself to the waitlist & /or check back for availability.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
