    Our Salon

    We opened our Curly Hair Salon in 2022 with one clear intention — to create a safe, welcoming space for curly women.

    As a third-generation hairstylist, hair has always been part of my life, yet growing up I struggled to understand and manage my own curls. As the years went on, that frustration continued. I couldn’t find a salon or hairstylist that truly understood curly hair and I often left feeling disappointed and unheard.

    I became aware early in my career that there was a significant gap in education around curly hair within the industry. When natural curls began to be embraced again around 2019, it felt like a natural and meaningful shift for me to invest my time, energy, and passion into specialising in curls.

    This salon was created to offer what I had always searched for a space where women feel comfortable, supported, and confident in their natural texture.

    Laszlo and I have worked together for over 20 years in the health and beauty industry and our shared experience and personalities create an atmosphere that feels relaxed, friendly and uplifting.

    Our focus goes beyond hair alone. We care deeply about the overall wellbeing of our clients and the experience they have in our space. Creating beautiful curls is our aim but more important to help women feel happy and leave our salon with confidence.
