Looking for a one-stop shop for all things curly? One place for education, products, trends and business-building?
Yes, say the brand ambassadors from Redken, amika, Ouidad and Mizani. SalonCentric offers a full range of educational opportunities plus all the products you need to color, cut and style your curly clients beautifully. And if you need tips in a hurry, you can log on and learn from the talented members of the SalonCentric It Takes a Pro Team.
Why curls anyway? “It’s easy to focus on work that makes us comfortable,” says Cassandra. “But if we don’t offer color services to clients with curly hair, we’re essentially declining to service the clients attached to those curls. And at SalonCentric, Redken is the hair color of choice for textured hair because there are so many options.”
“The great thing about textured hair,” adds Naeemah, “is there are so many ways to style it! It’s up to us to show our curl clients they can do so much more with their hair than they learned growing up. As long as you know which products to use, you can give your 4c girl beach waves or stretch tight curls into loose, glam waves. I encourage all stylists to think outside the box when it comes to their curl clients.”
