This comment was made in regards to my comment of saying that straight hair prices are essentially the same… which they are but because there’s MORE people at a entry level they tend to charge less because their not fully confident or established.

NOW THIS DOESN’T TAKE AWAY FROM THOSE WHO ABUSE THE WORD CURLY SPECIALIST. This happens in every aspect of servicing though… Not just curly

You also have to decide if you value what comes with a curl specialist or you just want to keep those ends trimmed…

$6 investment can change your ENTIRE SERVICE

One of my favorite ways to help identify undertones is using gold + silver fabric against the skin.

If gold lights the skin up and creates warmth → they typically lean warm.
If silver brightens the skin and makes the complexion look clearer → they usually lean cool.

And if both work? Hello neutral tones 🤍

This tiny consultation step can completely change how you formulate blondes, brunettes, reds, and everything in between

Fun fact I toned her once with level 9 and the blonde felt hallow, I toned again with a quick warm 8 and MAGIC HAPPENED. Sometimes the level matters a lot when you are trying to compliment their skin. OLIVE skin strives off DEPTH & Richness.

One thing I love about this transformation is even when I turned the photo black & white… the highlights STILL lit her face up. That’s how you know the placement and tone are working with the skin tone instead of against it.

Warmth isn’t the enemy on olive skin the wrong warmth is.
Honey tones bring life, glow, and dimension without washing the complexion out.

Intentional blonding will always hit different.

If you’ve ever cut layers into tighter coils and suddenly the shape looks smaller, narrower, or like all the fullness disappeared… this might be why. 👀

A lot of stylists are trained to remove weight the same way across every curl type but coils don’t always respond the way looser curls do. Sometimes too much layering can collapse the width and shrink the silhouette instead of enhancing it.

One thing that completely changed the game for me was shifting HOW I create movement while still protecting fullness + shape. My clients keep their volume, their curls still feel layered, and the overall shape stays balanced instead of overly tapered.

Try this approach on your next coily client and pay attention to the difference in the silhouette after styling. Trust me… the fullness speaks for itself.
