New Curl Friends

I’m glad that we’re connecting! Hello! 

You’re new here.

Nervous? Don’t be. Your curls are in safe hands.

Excited? Me too!

There is a ritual to cutting your hair. Donna upholds a space for people to breathe, relax and enjoy the process. She is a safe pair of hands creatively doing their job, all the while you feel surrounded by nothing but love; for the work, for your hair and for you.

-Whetuu Nathan, Tamaki Makaurau/Akld

NEW CURL CLIENT

I hope by now you’ve read about me and seen my social media posts of Befores & Afters on client’s with textures ranging from tight curls and tight waves, to loose coils and loose waves, and everything coily, curly and wavy in between. 

I have a waitlist arrangement as the ratio of my current availability to client needs is balanced. Once you make contact I can explain this a little more. 

To know which appointment to request, please start by reading my Services for New Curl Friends, below. Then make contact to let me know the name of the appointment you’d like to book.

All New Curl Friend appointment enquiries continue with a light and friendly pre-consultation conversation, via email. 

All enquiries are treated with the utmost confidentiality.

You’re either new to your curls and the curly way of life. Or, maybe you’ve been doing your best with your natural texture, but feel like you need some more help and guidance. 

Whether you need this to be a curl boot camp, a literal curl intervention, or a curl coaching session to cut through your curl conundrum, I’m here for you!

This is a hands-on coaching lesson in how to cleanse, hydrate, style and dry your own curls, be they the tightest of tight curls to loose curly waves, or anything in between. 

At the end you will get a written personalised lesson summary and product recommendations. There is no cut component in this service. 

Allow between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your needs, your density and your length.

You my new curl friend, with your naturally wavy or curly hair, are ready to dive right in without a lesson.

Confident, or a complete starter, you are nonetheless eager to learn on the journey a’head, but just wish to get started once and for all with (fin-ah-lly!) a Curl Specialist.

After a thorough consultation, I will do a Curl Cut, Hydration, Styling and Drying service, where your texture is honoured, understood, cut, and styled skilfully, according to it’s unique nature. No hands-on lesson component in this service, but gems will still be dropped left right and centre.

Upon establishing contact I will gain an idea of what length of time is going to be most appropriate. 

Depending on what we agree is best, your appointment could be anywhere between 1 hour to 3.5 hours.

You my new curl friend, with your tight curl/afro coil texture, are a natural in-waiting, or already living the natural’s life but haven’t been to me yet.

You may have had a lifetime of chemical relaxers, silk presses, weaves and extensions on your beautiful head of naturally tight curls but you’re now ready to do the Big Chop or leave the extensions life in the rear view mirror.

Or maybe you’ve been natural for some time, but are ready for an elevated curl cut experience to achieve your shape goals.

Or maybe you’ve recently gone natural in a solo effort, and want to partner with a specialist who is actively guided under the Cut It Kinky Mastermind, to learn how to achieve a lasting natural curl set (wash ‘n go), plus…all of the above.

Whatever you need, I’m proud to provide an emerging, technically proficient and culturally sensitive tight curl experience, as a result of my continuing education within the Cut it Kinky Mastermind course. 

Upon establishing contact we will both have an idea of which service is needed first, and what length of time is going to be most appropriate. 

Whichever way is you, book in curl friend. I’ve been waiting for you all my curly life.

Depending on what we agree is best, your appointment could be anywhere between 1 hour to 3.5 hours.
