Joaquima did such a fantastic job on my 5 year old hair. She explained everything she was doing and gave me a great styling routine to do with her. She was super friendly and very patient with my wiggly daughter. I would highly recommend for children.
asked for a bowser cut over the phone and in my appointment description. i’m in the wash bowl getting my shampoo and conditioner and she just starts cutting without telling me?!? never in my life have i seen a curly stylist do that.. even my go-to stylist back home said it’s not good practice. she said she was cutting “obvious damage” and before we got started said she wouldn’t cut more than half an inch.. she cut 2 inches on both sides of my heads EASILY. left me with the strangest lopsided cut my stylist has to fix. yes i had 2” of damage at the bottom that my stylist back home had worked through all year, with only 2” left to fix. i DID NOT agree at any point to a 2” big chop. extremely unprofessional. i was very calm, looked at my cut hair, dried my own hair and walked out the appointment. i offered to pay for the wash but she just let me go due to how obviously violated i felt. really a horrible experience i still can’t believe she did that.
Joaquima is not only the most PERFECT hairstylist out there for mine and your curls, but the kindest. I make a 60 minute commute to her and another going back 4 times a year, and it’s all worth it. If you are like me and used to leave the salon feeling the same or worse, but that’s not the same at Curl Story. She is so understanding and gave me not only the best advice but also best products. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR, BUT IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CURLS THAN YOU WILL GET JOAQUIMA TO DO THEM!!
Joaquima is a genius! Her ability to cut curly hair is amazing! She also meticulous and takes her time. No rushing here. I’ve never had such great haircuts and my hair is very curly. And she’s an amazing person, too. So fun to chat with. She also now cuts my very picky daughter’s hair and she loves her too!
Quima was very professional, warm and (most importantly) knowledgeable about curly hair. She really took care of my locks and I can honestly say I’ve never left a hair salon with my hair looking and feeling so healthy and styled perfectly. Thank you and I’ll be back!
