Hello CurlFriend, Happy February!
Welcome to The CurlSpa, I'm so happy you found me! On this page you will find everything you need to know for what's happening at The CurlSpa this month.
You will also find some seasonal advice. I'm not going to promise it's "friendly advice" but it's definitely useful. If this is your first time, yes it's a bit different here but that's good!
This month we are talking about hair and getting an understanding of the words we use when we talk about our hair and what we are doing with it.
Please be sure to save this page to your phone's home screen so you can easily access The CurlSpa. Feel free to save my little pedicure logo and use it for your icon as well.
It's Black History Month!
This month at The CurlSpa we are focusing on skin care and understanding how our integumentary system works.
In ancient Kemet skin care regimes included things like henna, sour milk baths and scrubs made with various materials like pumice and aloe. They used simple ingredients like olive oil and cardamom to moisturize and protect their skin from the environment.
Western mainstream skin care marketing has historically spoken to the needs of fairer complexions looking to treat acne or signs of aging. While black and brown skin does experience acne the aging.....not so much. Also brown skin is far more sensitive than most people understand much like kinky hair textures, brown skin is very fragile resulting in other issues like hyperpigmentation, uneven texture and keloid scarring.
What we can learn from the past about skin care, I think, is that there is beauty in simplicity. Yes it's great that there are an array of products there to help us along the way, but we don't need them all. Your environment will play a huge role in what your skin needs and often times less is more.
Do you know your skin type?

Happy Hour Menu
The CurlSpa is full service, meaning you are able to have hair, skin and nail services done in one appointment.
The Happy Hour Menu is a few services from my services discounted 20-25% that rotates monthly based on the month's theme. Please take a scroll through the entire menu and use the links to read the descriptions. Reach out via text or email if you need clarity on the information provided.
All scheduling is done online
If there is a service you are looking for and you do not see it on my menu, I do not provide that service.
All availability is visible and the waitlist is only for the days I work (Thursday-Sunday). If the system is not letting you make an appointment please try refreshing your browser and adjusting your cookie settings.
Please watch this before you leave your house to come to your appointment in case you run into traffic. This is important as the salon is not visible from the street, you cannot call me and I stand by my late/no show policy.
Try something new at a discount, but be sure to read how The CurlSpa /Groupon partnership works!
