Ouidad: The Curl Experts

Welcome to New York City, the capital of fashion and style. Just do what they tell you and wear what the fashion world announces as “the” look of the season which often includes straightening your hair.

Then what happens my curly, wavy fashionista? Where is that special feeling you get when someone admires your beautiful hair, or compliments your curls, or praises your gorgeous waves? Do you look like everyone else? Do you notice everyone looking like everyone else? Oh, you may go “straight” for a day but…..there’s always the stunning curly haired real you waiting to return.

Let’s face it, everyone is looking over their shoulder for the look that’s “it” which is unfortunate because the true fashion leaders are busy creating from their own passion, intuition and proud heart. They have self-respect, they honor their personal taste and are fiercely committed to what they love. They’re busy showing off their talent vs. trying to change themselves based on someone else’s vision.

You should take care of what is important to you.  Polish what is beautiful about you and flaunt  it.

At the salon last week, I got another anniversary notice. My client informed me that I’ve been styling her hair for eight years!  Six years ago I styled her wedding curls and now she’s asking about her little girl’s curls! She laughed and said that her daughter wouldn’t have to go through the “nightmare curls” that her own mother knew nothing about.

What a validation…..to make such a beautiful difference in someone’s life and to see it transform the next generation. Wow!
