I was on vacation in Florida and then drove 2 1/2 hours from where I was staying to see Tiffany.  I read her book and couldn't wait to visit her salon.  I wasn't disappointed - this was my last hope before giving up on going natural.  Reading about the techniques and products was great, but I still wasn't getting the results I expected.  TIffany spent two hours with me teaching and showing me how to take care of my curls.  I was using the wrong products and was definitely not applying and scrunching correctly. I didn't have much hair to cut (due to the bad cuts I've been getting!!) but the subtle shaping she did was fabulous.  It was definitely worth the drive and I hope to return whenever I'm on vacation in FL!!

I have gone to "curly specialists" for over 10 years. This was the first time I actually walked out disappointed, unable to tolerate how it looked, I ran to Starbucks across the street to wet my hair. Then I noticed it was over an inch longer on one side. It was shaped terribly. Tiffany is knowledgeable and kind, but not good for my hair. Devachan is the only place for my curls. Thankfully, I went there and they fixed it, showing me how bad it was cut in the back. So many love her, and I wanted to...

Yahoo!!!! I went to see Tiffany two days ago. It was my first time in a salon in 30 years!!!! I am 47 and it's also the first time i really like my hair! Tiffany rocks the curly world!!! She is so knowledgeable and helpful and just an all around good person. the experience was relaxing and pleasant. My hair looks great. My curls are free and shiny and bouncy. It looks so natural because it is. She barely cut it just enough. I totally trust you with my hair, Tiffany, and I thank you so much for being here, in my hood! I will definitely be back and will send more people your way, so you can work your magic and change their lives!!! woot woot !!!!

Chose salon based on quantity of great reviews on Tiffany. Had very high expectations and they were exceeded. I've never had my hair look this great after leaving a salon. It doesn't even look like my hair, healthy, shiny, my curls are calm and I very little cut off the overall length. Loved the time she spent teaching me how to fix my hair and the recommendations of products that I could afford. All I products she didn't even sell and I could buy at Target. Definitely will be back! (My hair even still looks good after sleeping on it...shocking!)

Tiffany is the best. What I appreciated about her the most was the time she took to actually "talk" to me about my hair care regimen, the products I was using, what I liked about them and what products I didn't like and why. All this before she even touched my hair. I didn't need a major cut, just a few snips here and there, but the recommendations she gave me on how to care for my hair.... well, let's just say, I think I heard angels sing.

Tiffany is simply fabulous. After losing a lot of length and density due to an illness and some strong meds, I had it cut by another stylist who had high reviews on NC. However, she completely butchered my hair! I had never felt so unattractive. Then 6 months later I decided to make the 2 hour drive to see Tifanny in her new salon in Gulfport. OMG why didn't I do that sooner? She gave me the BEST haircut, and made sure I left the salon pleased. She brought my confidence back, and I am very grateful for that. It looks so nice! Even my haircut at Devachan in NY when I had longer hair cannot compete with the one I got from Tiffany. She is the best. PS: I am biracial black/white, 3c with medium/fine hair, hair barely touching my shoulders in the back.

Besides giving both me and my oldest daughter the best haircuts we've ever had, Tiffany also shares much information about how to take care of our hair, specific to each of our hair types (I'm coarse, wavy, low porosity, daughter is fine haired, curly, swimmer so hair is more damaged). She does not push salon products but gives us some suggestions on drugstore products that might suit each of us. We've had two haircuts with her, they grow out wonderfully, I can get almost a year between visits without it looking raggedy or anything. Very highly recommended. We drive to her from Tampa, about 20 miles, which doesn't sound like a lot, but there are probably a thousand stylists between us and her and I will happily drive by them all to get to her salon.

Tiffany has been cutting my hair for almost two years now and I am SOO glad I found her-she has basically saved my hair from everything myself and other stylists had put it through in the past. She is the first person I have had work with my hair who really understands how curly hair is designed and how to best care for it and cut it. She always is able to see exactly what it needs and is not intimidated by my hair which is a huge relief and change from most of my prior salon experiences. She always does a fantastic job and leaves my hair looking great! Her superb techniques and advice have given me the confidence to be able to take care of my hair properly and to really be proud of it! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my unique head of hair and I would definitely recommend her to any curly girl who wants to revive and rejuvenate their hair-without having to alter its innate beauty. Thank you so much Tiffany!! :-)

Like most women, I had a string of horror stories when it came to my super curly hair. While other people were afraid to go to the dentist, I was afraid to get my hair cut. After moving to the St. Pete area, I was craving a hair change. I found Tiffany through other reviews from women who swore that she was the, "curl guru." I figured, "she cant do any worse than what I have had done to my hair before." Thankfully, Tiffany was sweet, informative, and patient. She gave my hair new life and empowered me to live a curly life. Now, I love my hair and so does my husband! I have never felt more beautiful or happy with my hair.

My daughter and I decided to make a fun mom/daughter outing by getting our hair done by a curly hair specialist. We have had so many bad experiences that our expectations were low. After Tiffany spent hours educating us, cutting our hair, coloring one of ours(Hummm!) and styling it we left. We screamed when we got in the car. We could not believe how fantastic both of our heads looked. Our curls had NEVER even come close to looking this good. We were sure we could not replicate it. But guess what...we have. And it is infinitely easier than all of the techniques and products we have used in the past. She shows you product from any store, that are generally the most economical ones on the shelf!!! Throw away your unhealthy, damaging products. Tiffany is an artist and magician. She has very curly hair so she knows!! Thank goodness she made the switch. I truly cannot recommend her enough. My daughter had decided to get dreadlocks because she no longer wanted to deal with her hair. She just left for college and for the first time she loves her hair. Really, you must RUN to Tiffany as fast as you can. She is a curly-haired genius!!!

I am one of the pickiest, hair-paranoid, high strung ladies I know - with incredibly curly hair! I have read Tiffany's reviews for a whole year before I swallowed my fear and scheduled an appointment. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the warmest, most welcoming lady who was busy with another client. She made me feel right at home and immediately put my curl weary to ease. I was amazed at how she was magically transforming the woman's hair before me, and seriously had doubt she could do the same for me. Tiffany took the time to hear in my own words how I felt about my hair, and what my hopes and expectations were. This is where her moniker "Curl Whisperer" comes in... After a 2 + hour appointment, I have never been so pampered, pleased and educated on my own hair! I now know what works, how to work it and how to make my hair look professionally done every time. You will not be disappointed what so ever with Tiffany; her prices, product guidance, tips, and your overall experience. Thank you Tiffany and thank you to everyone who has posted a review...

I'm a stylist myself, and it was fun talking to her about curly hair as I don't in any way shape or form consider myself an expert (we just just don't learn a lot about it in hair school). What I did learn was that I knew more than I thought! We spent over an hour together, first Tiffany cut my hair dry (I'm a wavy and this was my first experience with a dry cut) and then she styled me out using some of the same products I use and some different ones. LOVED the cut, LOVED the experience, and I had a blast with her! Thanks (and sorry for the delay, what was I thinking?!?) again Tiffany! :D Rymorg2 in KY

She put tons of layers in my hair this time around, and my hair looks so shiny, bouncy, full of life, voluminous, with beautifully defined curls that are not in the least bit frizzy. The most awesome thing about her, in addition to her expertise and amazing scissor wielding ability, is that she never ever tries to push or sell products to anyone. She firmly believes in the Deva products she offers for sale at her salon, but completely understands that they may not be feasible to buy for everyone's budget. I just love this woman!

This was, simply, the best haircut I've ever had in my life. Tiffany is immediately engaging and you know that you are in capable (maybe even magic) hands. I hadn't been in a salon since October, 2001. That's 8 1/2 years. That's how afraid of regular haircuts I had become. Now I'm already thinking about what else I'll do in St. Petersburg the next time I go to Tiffany for a haircut. She's less than an hour drive and I consider myself blessed. I read through many of the other reviews and I'm nodding in agreement with all the positive comments. She's super knowledgeable and wants you to be, too. My previous experiences with leaving salons involved trying to hold back tears and feeling really depressed about the way I looked, and the way my hair was. After my appointment with Tiffany I was all smiles and actually didn't avoid looking in the mirror. I am so grateful.

Sadly, it's taken me awhile to get this review here. I had my hair cut by the curl master (Tiffany) on 10/24, and it was a fabulous experience. A little bit about me: I live in NY, and went to visit my parents who live near Sarasota, and was able to schedule an appointment with Tiffany. I've been CG for almost 2 years now, and up until the point of my haircut, I was using shampoo bars + ACV rinse + giovanni smooth as silk conditioner. So, we had no problem finding her salon, and I got there, and walked in, and one of the other stylists saw me looking around and said "Don't worry, Tiffany is here", I was wondering how she knew then I realized I had curly hair, so that meant I was there to see Tiffany. Tiffany came out and then sat me down and asked what I wanted out of the haircut, what I liked about my hair, what I didn't, that sort of thing; it was really great. I had no qualms really about my hair, and yet she managed to make it better even still. She did the dry cut, asking me about my regimen, and I told her I was using soap bars, which she recommended that I not use anymore (and I stopped). The biggest thing for me that I got out of this haircut was when she told me my hair texture. I was almost positive I had fine texture, and I was loading on the protein, but it turns out, I have MEDIUM texture, and normal porosity. She had me lay off the protein, and since then, I've been using giovanni triple treat shampoo, and a protein free conditioner (suave or the giovanni 50:50, or the gvp conditioning balm) and my hair has been super happy. My hair had a shelf she said, where the layers kind of stopped. She stepped down my layers, and it's much more curlier overall, all around. I absolutely love it. She is so incredible, and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and more, and taught me how to clip. I highly recommend her to anyone who has the opportunity to get a cut by her. Especially, if you want to learn more about your hair.

I actually did not go to the salon. I was very fortunate to have a style and cut by Tiffany as part of the Roadshow (California) in the Fall of 2009. I have never in all my 43 years been so happy with a stylist, cut, and style. My hair has never looked better and I am absolutely loving it. She took the time to find out what I wanted, the little quirks in my hair, what was my past experience and then actually talked me through the cut and I could ask questions while she was doing it. Afterwords, she did a style and showed me how to use clips to great effect. In amongst all this, of course, she was educating me on my hair and assisting me with questions. I would never have thought to find any stylist so outstanding. To be honest if I don't have another opportunity next year to have a cut here in CA with some sort of Roadshow, I honestly think I will be buying a ticket to Florida to get my haircut. I cannot believe I said that but folks she is THAT GOOD. I have no reservation at all in recommending if you are remotely close to her salon or if she does any roadshow coming your way, that you are the first in line for an appointment. It does not get any better than this. Her website and the e-book are also phenomenal. Overall clearly someone who cares and that makes her even more special.

I came to her not knowing what I wanted and left with exactly the perfect cut! She is positively amazing. I've never met anyone who even comes close to having the same amount of skill that she has cutting curly hair. Today I have no product in my hair at all and it's still just perfect. The shape, the cut is exactly what I've always wanted but didn't know how to describe to anyone. She knew exactly what to do and how to do it. I would recommend her to anyone who has curly hair and has lost faith in the ability of hairdressers. She is phenomenal. She is warm and friendly, and her knowledge of curly hair surpasses anyone I've ever met in all my 38 years. She is the absolute best stylist I have ever seen in my life and I mean that will all of my heart. After this, my first experience, I will continue to drive the two hours to have only her cut my hair from now on. Letting anyone else do it after this would just be an exercise of futility. Even if you have to fly in from a different state to see her, it would be worth the time, effort and cost. She is just that good! I cannot say enough positive things to accurately convey my feelings about her skills. You will not be disappointed!

Struttswife. I've learned so much from her posts on CurlTalk, and knew from prior reviews that I could expect to learn a lot about my hair, and how to work with it, that I knew I didn't want to pass on that opportunity. The cut is the best I've ever had. It doesn't compare, though, with the amazing amount of education that came with it. It was almost an information overload, though I'm not new to CG. I learned a tremendous amount that is helping me to simplify and fine tune my hair care, and product selection, along with the reasoning behind those selections, which will also help me in future as product availability changes. My only regret? That I live too far away (in northern New York State) for Tiffany to be my regular stylist.

Like the last reviewer stated, she spends at least 2-3 hours with you, teaching you everything you need to know about curly hair and how to work with your own hair to make it look amazing. I learned techniques that work so well with my hair. She takes her time with you and you will feel so comfortable with her. She is such a warm friendly caring person. I highly recommend her and she is now my forever stylist! I will NEVER go anywhere else again! PS I'm thrilled at the prospect of FINALLY growing my hair longer. I know now that it will be possible with Tiffany, as the ends are so healthy and knot-free that my hair already is looking longer and healthier than ever. I look forward to what it will look like a year from now!

Tiffany is fabulous! She takes her time doing the Deva cut and you can tell that she takes pride in her work and wants you to be happy with the results. I can't wait to go back for my next appointment. If you're in the area and are a curly girl, you definitely have to go see Tiffany.

Spending time in Tiffany’s chair is EVERYTHING that other reviewers have said and more. She is a marvel of curly hair knowledge!!! The cut and experience are WELL worth the time (I live in Orlando) and cost!!!! This was my second Deva/Diva curly cut; my first was with Carlos @ Devachan in NYC. While I absolutely adored the cut and time spent with him as well, just know that Tiffany is NO second to my experience at Devachan. She is top notch!!! She has an inspiring passion about her work!! If you live in Florida, look no further!

Love, love, LOVE TIFFANY! From the moment I called for an appointment, I was SO excited to get my hair cut with her... I was actually ASKED if I was getting a curly cut by the girl who took my appt. Then, when I got there, and SAW Tiffany and her absolutely GORgeous hair, I just KNEW I was going to have a great experience, which I did! Tiffany REALLY knows what she is doing, loves doing it, and does her best to pass her knowledge on. The 3 hour drive was SO worth it!

Absolutely phenomenal. The best haircut I have had in many years. The time she spends cutting each curl, and the teaching she does on product use is absolutely the greatest. I sent my daughter and she i just as happy. If you have curl hair and on't know what to do with it, I strongly recommend you go see Tiffany.

What to say about Tiffany that hasn't been said time and again by her other clients? It's difficult because she REALLY IS that good, and once you've spent some time with her and she cuts your hair, you want to make sure anyone reading truly understand what a special stylist Tiffany is. When I decided to get my first curly cut, I began reading the reviews for my state, and chatted with other board members who live nearby about stylists and salons. While there are probably a dozen curl specialists that would have been a significantly shorter trip for me, I never even considered them due to Tiffany's reputation of being the Best. Before setting my appointment with Tiffany, and making the 9 (yes, NINE!) hour round trip drive to St Pete, we had a phone consultation. As any curly girl knows, it's a bit of a scary proposition to try a new stylist. Tiffany made me feel so comfortable, did such a good job of foreseeing issues I *might* run into, educating me about my hair type as we went along, offering great tips. She listened to me, and to what *I* was looking for with my hair. It was obvious to me that she cares about each and every one of her clients, and truly loves what she does. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I plan to continue making the trip for Tiffany to care for my hair. If you're ever in the state of Florida, it would be well worth your time to set up an appointment with her- you'll be so glad you did!

I moved to Orlando from New York 3 years ago and I couldn't find a stylist that knew how to cut curly hair. After being able to go to Devachan in NY and then not being able to get a good curly cut I was going to go to NY just to cut my hair. Then Tiffany came along. Tiffany is fantastic!! She gave me a great cut and she was very thorough and took her time with me. I drove 1 hr and 40 mins to get my haircut with Tiffany and it was so worth it! Tiffany will be the only one cutting my hair.

I drove 45 minutes from Tampa, but I would drive from anywhere in the state of Florida just to experience Tiffany's haircuts. I can't say enough about Tiffany. She managed to remove some significant damage from my hair(from repeated past straightenings)without making my hair look significantly shorter. She showed me how to acheive perfect curls at home and gave me a list of products I could buy at the grocery store. For the first time in my life, I love my hair the way it is naturally! Did I mention no frizz whatsoever - even in a drizzle?

My stylist quit 4 months ago. I went to someone who said they had experience with curly hair they DIDNOT. I found Tiffany after searching different sites and found this one. She cut my hair 9 days ago and I love it. I don't get compliments on my hair I get compliments on my curls. I had someone for years that knew how to cut curly hair but as much as I love her I have never felt this free with my curls and I have never gotten the compliments I do now. Tiffany doesn't just cut your hair she councils you on how to take care of it. When she says call her anytime if you have questions she means it. Want great hair... Call Tiffany

Since moving to FL over 3 years ago, I have been searching for the right hair stylist - and now my search has ended. Tiffany is wonderful and her cutting technique is great. She was attentive and able to provide me with information on the best way to care for my curls. I followed her advice and my hair has never looked better. Finally hair I can live with. Definitely see Tiffany...you won't be disappointed.

I recently let a "stylist" thin my curly locks and was horrified when I saw the results. I started searching online for products, people, anything I could to salvage my hair. Luckily I found Tiffany at Essentials! I drove 2 hours to get there and it was more than worth it. I was so impressed and happy with my hair when she was finished that I literally shed a few tears. My hair has never looked so lovely. I had perfect curls! And the best part is she showed me how to get those perfect curls at home too. It is very simple, and you can't forget any of it because she hands you this pamphlet with everything on it. I'm thinking of laminating mine so I never lose it! I cannot do her justice in words, but I will always go back to her for every hair cut I get. She was so nice and really talked to me about my hair and never pushed products which was refreshing too. I left feeling beautiful and confident in my ability to create those lovely locks we all try to get each day!

Don't look any further for another hair stylist for your curls! Tiffany is amazingly sweet and not only that she definitely knows how to give you the best cut for your curls through the Deva technique. My hair feels so much lighter and it does not have so much bulk and yet it still looks like I have a good amount of hair. She explains everything that she will do to your hair and teaches you how to best take care of your curls. Oh yeah and she has awesome curls herself as well (good sign of an awesome stylist).

All I can say is WOW! I have never had a stylist take their time with my hair the way Tiffany did. It was absolutely decadent. She explained everything she did as she went. My hair has never looked so good after a cut and style. She usually gives you a printout to take with you with instructions on how to take care of your hair. She was out of the printouts, but mailed one to me a week later. I will make the 2 hour drive again to get my hair cut by Tiffany.

I had my very first Deva cut with Tiffany this week and it was an amazing experience. She is just as friendly and sweet as everyone says she is, and does she know curly hair. This is the best hair of my entire life and I will continue to follow Tiffany wherever she goes. I can't say enough about her professionalism and her incredible knowledge and talent. I only wish she would have been around years ago, it would have saved me a lot of pain and grief. I can't recommend her and her services enough.

Tiffany and her fabulous deva curl cutting technique -- my hair has never been so incredible!!!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone with curly hair. I saw her a few weeks ago and she is just so amazing. I really notice the difference in the curliness of my hair and so have my friends and family. So far, I have referred 2 of my curly friends to see her :) She takes the time to carefully examine each curl -- in addition to looking great, I felt great, because she makes it so relaxing! Thanks again, Tiffany -- YOU ROCK!!!

Yes,for those of you that have been seeking her out, this is the same Tiffany that previously worked at Salon Tru, aka StruttsWife on the board. She is the most amazing stylist and such a wonderful person to spend time with. Her mastery of the Deva technique is evident. She takes as much time as necessary to find out what you want and to do the actually dry cut. You truly feel that you are her priority, and she will not let you leave without the best cut, style and guidance you can possibly receive. I had to travel a couple of hours, and it is so worth the trip. I will continue to do so in the future. The salon owner also seems to show a great interest and support in the deva/curly hair process, and everyone was extremely friendly and accomodating-a very comfortable place to go to get the best hair care available! :-)

After two years of being afraid of having my hair cut, I found Tiffany on the Deva site and decided to take a chance. Now there is no way I will EVER go to anyone else, even though it's a 45 minute drive for me. Not only is she Deva-trained, she knows curly hair better than ANYONE else I've ever met!!! Her own curls are breathtaking and since she has also gone through every horrible curly girl hell there is, she understands every fear, every problem we face. She also explained how to use your products and what they do for you more in depth than anything I've ever heard before, plus she has this nifty little brochure you can take home with you that explains everything so you don't have to try to remember it all. My hair looks AMAZING and better than it ever has in my life! RUN, do not walk to this woman and put yourself in her talented hands. You will NOT be sorry!!!
