Hair Rules New York will offer hair-care and styling-based approaches to working with texture. No texture will be viewed as problematic, from super kinky hair to straight hair that “won’t hold a curl” to every texture in between.

The 2,160-square-foot loft space features eight cutting stations, four color stations, four drying stations and a comfortable living room where clients can unwind. The space is decorated in an eclectic mix of colors, surfaces and fabrics – what Dickey calls “a groovy, elegant, multi-textural vibe.” Green building techniques were used in the design, including responsibly harvested bamboo, the use of wind power, non-toxic paint and energy-efficient lighting. The salon has partnered with Matter of Trust, a nonprofit organization focused on recycling hair into hair mats for cleaning up oil spills.

Beyond salon services, Hair Rules New York will conduct advanced education classes for licensed hairdressers, and will host events, including seminars and workshops, that promote beauty, community, the arts and well-being.

The trick is a good cut with a great shape. At Chiggy’s Touch, the talented stylists can help you select a hairstyle that is suitable for your face shape and your curly texture. They start with a thorough consultation. Bring photos to help them get a clear understanding of your vision. Tell them how much time and effort you are willing to put into styling your hair. Let them know if you want to be wash and wear, or if you are willing to use a diffuser. They can gently advise you if your expectations are not realistic. Either way, their goal is to help you embrace your curls.Aren’t you tired of salons that don’t understand that the needs for curly hair are totally different than for straight hair? At Chiggy’s Touch, the curl experts understand that there are many options for styling curly hair. If you are not inclined to spend a lot of time styling your hair, keep it simple. Long layers are great for keeping a loose, relaxed curl, easy to control split ends, and easy to throw into a ponytail. On the other hand, short curls can be defined, youthful, and definitely show your best facial features. Whichever option you chose, embracing your fabulous curls will get you that confident attitude, with very little effort.

Capella Salon

Studio City, Calif. 91604

Capella’s approach to curly hair is very simple: Don’t try to make them do what they can’t. Pay attention to the way the curls want to fall and encourage them in the right direction.

Adding to the complete experience, Capella has shiatsu shampoo chairs by Takara Belmont, which give clients a massage while they’re having their hair washed. Clients also are served champagne, mimosas, wine or Starbucks coffee (lattes, cappuccino’s, espresso, etc.). Capella carries Deva, Karastase and Davines products.
A key focus at Capella is education to empower clients to do their own hair.

“We know how to make your curls look good,” says Capella owner Shai Amiel. “But we take great pride in teaching them how to duplicate these looks and allowing them to attempt new ideas with their curls. I think it’s important for the stylist, curls and clients to work together as a team.”

Estilo Valdez

3700 Jefferson St.
Austin, TX 78731
512-466-3816
http://estilovaldezsalon.com

The first thing you might notice when you walk into Estilo Valdez Salon is how much the open space, friendly chatter, and eclectic furnishings just feel like they belong in Austin.
Estilo Valdez Salon was launched in 1998 by partners Ron Valdez and Simon Brown. Their goal was to create a professional yet relaxed environment for guests to receive the best color and cut possible. Over the past decade, they continue to train and grow their talented team of terrific stylists. Redken has recognized that extra care and attention to detail by designating Estilo Valdez as an Elite Salon – the only hair salon in Central Texas to achieve that honor. That places them in the company of fewer than 100 hundred salons nationwide.

Understanding curly hair is one of the house specialties at Estilo Valdez. Ron and the styling crew are professionally and philosophically committed to staying ahead of the curve as new techniques are developed. Estilo Valdez Salon is consistently recognized as one of Austin’s Best salons for curly hair by Austin Monthly and the Chronicle. But in spite of all the recognition, Valdez and Brown not content to sit back on their laurels. They are true mentors, taking a proprietary interest in growing the client base for all their stylists. They reward customers with a “thank you” visit for referring three of their friends.
“Everyone’s hair is different,” says Valdez, “And with curly hair that is twice as true. We start with nature, treat the color as naturally as possible, cut it with its own character in mind and aim to give you the best results. Results you can live with, results that leave you feeling and looking great.”

www.devachansalon.com

With two salons located in the SoHo section of Manhattan, a third opening soon in White Plains, New York — and another 20 salons poised to roll out across the county — Devachan Salon and Departure Lounge is a unique salon experience. From the buildings’ architecture, the custom-designed fixtures and the careful selection of all personnel, Devachan salons are designed to be refreshing alternatives to conventional salons. The Deva standard is unique.

Together, Denis DaSilva and Lorraine Massey have created a philosophy, a standard and an environment unprecedented in the salon world.

Devachan’s training program builds strong stylists while helping young artists mature as business people as well.

Another philosophy at Deva is to give back to the community that gives to them. Devachan employees bring this philosophy to life by donating their time, expertise, and money to many causes they feel need help. When Katrina hit, Devachan chose a single mother with three children who lost everything and rented them a house for a year, furnished it, bought toys and clothing and everything they needed. Devachan wanted to give them more than the life they had before, and to make things better than they were — forever. This is Devachan.
