NZ Curl Specialist
Hi, I’m Donna, ‘The Curl Next Door’.
I am a curly girl on a mission.
I’m a curl specialist confidently creating beautiful curl cuts and education for your unique curly, wavy or tight curly path a’head.
I’m a curlpreneur retailing proven, curl-friendly, curly hair products online at Curls Naturally.
And I’ve been building a curl infrastructure in NZ to serve curl friends now and the next generation of curls to come. This includes establishing a network of salons and stylists to whom I wholesaled ‘Clever Curl’ & ‘EverEscents’ products to, and by providing comprehensive Stylist Curl Education for stylists since 2020.
I’m passionate about curls and making curly life better for NZ curlies.
Trained in ‘The Curly Girl Method™’ and ‘CurlbyCurl™’ cutting method by Lorraine Massey in 2019, I’ve continued to expand my knowledge in various trusted curl specialist methods, including Evan Joseph Curls, Curly Hair Artistry Mastery Program, Level 2 Rëzo Cutting under Nubia Suarez, and Level 2 Cut It Kinky tight curl education, with more to come!
With my natural flair for curl love and passion for inclusivity and excellence, I offer a unique perspective in NZ, and look forward to walking on this curly path with YOU!

Stylist Info
Coming from the grass-roots up and now successfully fully working as a NZ’s first internationally-trained curl specialist stylist, curl educator, curl product retailer and just-recently ex-wholesaler, I’m looking for stylists who have their heart in the right place, and their mind open to being sharpened and fine-tuned to meet the needs of this niche.
My core role, when educating stylists, is to equip you with the understanding and skills required to meet this demand, empowering you to deliver confident, sustainable and beautiful outcomes across the board for your curly clients.
