Curl
education

Ready to master curly haircuts? My curriculum is here to help stylists, salon owners, and brands dive deep into the world of curls. Whether you want to level up your haircutting game or getting specialized education, I’ve got you covered with both in-salon and out-of-salon classes. Reach out if you’re ready to take your curly hair expertise to the next level!

Collaborations

I’m all about creating magic through the lens or on stage. Whether it’s modeling a product in photo shoots, adding sparkle to commercials, or bringing authenticity to social media collaborations, I’m your go-to collaborator. I thrive on partnering with brands that share my passion for storytelling, creativity, and making a positive impact. Having spoken on panels for women in business, served as a brand affiliate, and modeled for luxury brands, I’ve had some incredible opportunities! If you have something in mind, I’d love to connect and explore how we can create something truly special together.

FAQs

My little shop is kind of like a speak-easy. No big, neon signs; so you do have to know what you’re looking for. My silver door is located next to Ollie’s Sake Bar under a silver awning. You’ll see my name right on the door. 325 s 11th st.

I am located on a second level and unfortunately do not have wheelchair access.

If you’ve already downloaded the Lincoln Passport app or have change, there is normally plenty of available meter parking on 11th Street. (unless it’s Game Day! Then plan to get dropped off.) There is also the option of parking in the garage right across from us – 1st hour is free! – And they do accept cards.

I prefer Venmo, Paypal, or cash. I can accept cards but do prefer to avoid credit card fees!

The environment is created to be relaxing, so I really do prefer you take this time for yourself and arrange for childcare. Feel free to bring a moral support adult but please limit it to one person.

Quietness is good for our busy minds to finally catch a break. If you’re looking forward to being taken care of and not having to make conversation, I am more than happy to let you reset. If you prefer a silent service, please make a note in your appointment request when using my online booking.

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy before your appointment if you need to cancel or reschedule please do so via Vagaro. If you cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment, you will be charged for your missed appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, I will have to reschedule and you will be charged for your missed appointment. I want to respect the time I have reserved for you!
