Bangs!
Phil B.

It's been a year since my first cut at A Curl's Best Friend and I couldn't be happier. Deanna and Cindy are absolute experts in their field, and well worth the cost. Their guidance + their products + their cuts = happy, healthy curls. After taking the time to grow out my short layers, I'm finally - amazingly - on my way to long curls. With bangs! ~ Melody B

I've struggled with my curly hair since childhood. My curls come from my father, so my very straight-haired mother had no clue what to do with me! There were many torturous years of brushing, straightening, and perming as a result. If only YouTube tutorials had existed when I was a kid. Over the years I have tried so many products, tools, procedures to get my curls to cooperate - but nothing seemed to consistently work. My curls were temperamental and I could never conquer how to care and style them. So when a friend sent me the info for A Curl's Best Friend, it was an answer to my prayers. I needed someone to educate me about my curls and lay out clear directions to follow. My appointment with Deanna exceeded all expectations. She was friendly, knowledgeable and took time to get to know me and my curls. She challenged me to try new ways of styling my hair (I had PTSD from my mother brushing my air as a child, but she convinced me to try the curly hair brush!). And I loved that she made me an active participant in the appointment; she had me touching my hair to feel it at different points and she had me trying the styling tools so I would feel comfortable when doing it at home. It's been a little over two months since my appointment and I still love my curls! I did purchase all of the recommended products (Innersense) and it's been working wonderfully. I consistently get flawless curls after each wash/styling. The appointment was supposed to include a recoding of the styling process for me to rewatch later if needed. Unfortunate, there was a technical issue with the recording, but Deanna was very apologetic and offered ways to make it right which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend A Curl's Beat Friend to anyone wanting a great curly hair experience!

Let me start by saying that Cindy is a REVELATION. This is my first time with a curl specialist, and I am astounded by the difference. I've had great experiences with some stylists, but I'm not exaggerating when I say that my first cut with Cindy was life-changing for my hair and for the way I feel about it now. I'm very cautious about choosing a stylist because I've had a few health issues that made large amounts of my hair fall out to the point that I had to shave my head and start over. Thankfully, this salon uses the most gentle and hypoallergenic ingredients, and has a big focus on scalp- and hair-health first! Since my appointment in July, I've had random people tell me I have "model hair," but it's all thanks to the extremely thorough hair-education that Cindy gave me. My hair and scalp have never been happier, my curls have never been bouncier, and my upkeep has never been easier. How many of us Curlies can say that?? Wishing you all curls as healthy as mine are now, thanks to A Curl's Best Friend. ‍

Deanna is my curl whisperer! I am relatively new to being a "wavy" after beating my hair into submission (with blowdryers, curling irons etc) most of my life. Imagine my surprise when I stopped dyeing and blowdrying my hair during the pandemic. Could it be that I actually had some wave in my hair? Surprisingly, YES! but until I met Deanna, I was not maximizing my hair and treating the waves right! First of all, the salon is absolutely beautiful, so much light, and I felt at home as soon as I entered the salon. What a cool place and such talented women! Madi and Cindy are so wonderfully supportive and kind. Deanna is a wonderful listener, with so much expertise, and such a kind way of putting this relative wavy-newbie at ease. Just being with her and learning how to do my hair was a huge treat! Her suggestions, especially about how much of my hair to trim and the fabulous curly hair care home folder (and the incredible Innersense products) have allowed me to transform my hair into all of its wavy glory. At the end of the curly hair cut and style experience, including that fabulous blow-dry while lying down on the most comfy chair, I saw how beautiful my hair was and how Deanna had masterfully created "my best hair yet" (and likely my best life yet!), I had tears in my eyes. What a magical salon - and I'll be back soon. Thank you so much, Deanna, You have truly changed my life!

Lifeless Frizz.

My curls have found their best friend! I'd been searching for a curly specialist in my area for a couple of months, and knew I'd found a gem when I came across Cindy's yelp. Deanna was absolutely amazing! After 2 decades of traumatizing haircuts, I booked the "New Client Custom Curly Cut Experience" with Deanna. I walked in defeated, with frizzy hair and heavy, lifeless curls...but I walked out a totally NEW WOMAN! Not only was Deanna super friendly, sweet and encouraging; her patience and attention to detail was incredible! I shared with her that I'd been trying the "curly hair routine" with products I'd seen all over social...and it just wasn't working for me. Together we discussed my routine/goals and she picked the best routine possible for ME. LET ME TELL YOU...This woman is a LIFE SAVER. I'm currently pregnant, in my last trimester, and the idea of "doing my hair" every day, is just not for me right now...and won't be for a while. But with Deanna's advice, I can go 3-4 days in between washes, and my hair looks STUNNING everyday with minimal effort. And not to mention...my hair has gotten curlier than the day of my service. Like WHAT?! I whole heartedly recommend Deanna, her expertise and all of her product recommendations!! I decided to purchase all but one product that she used on me (totally forgot it) and it's been the best investment I could have made! (Deanna, I'll be back for it asap! Haha) The salon itself is such a great, welcoming environment and provides such an intimate, relaxing experience. My session with Deanna was so thorough, in depth and educational AND I came home with a personalized folder with a step by step of my styling routine, and the products she used. She also provided a video of our session. It does NOT get better than this! I'm so grateful for Deanna, Cindy and Madi. They're such an incredible team, and have truly curated a wonderful experience for us curly folks. This is your sign to BOOK NOW :) Can't wait for my next session!

Curly haircut and treatment and style
Donica G.

I had my first session with Deanna on Friday 11/1. It was my first haircut in over a year. My hair was damaged to the point of looking dead after the first day of washing. Deanna took her TIME with me. Made sure I understood everything she was doing, everything she was putting on me. She accommodated me, reassured me, and educated me on all the things I should know in order to properly care for my hair. Thanks to her I have more confidence in my overall hair health and I'm very excited to continue my journey with her. Thank you, Deanna!

Me showing off my smile of happiness on having pretty hair that wasn't posed/cajoled/damaged into being controllable.

The minute I went onto their website and their Instagram, I knew that I needed to go here! I was so thrilled when I walked through the door and saw two curly haired gorgeous women with the most welcoming smiles. Deanna was my stylist and she sat down next to me and listened to me. We talked extensively throughout the whole appointment and she got a feel of my hair styling and time capabilities and together-yes, together-we made a plan. Usually, it has been dictated to me of what my hair needs to look like and how I am to "control" it. Deanna showed me how my hair, the proper treatment and cut, could whisper to me what it wants done. Then, I had a video made on how to keep up the management of my style. It has been a few hours since my appointment, and I have still rejoicing and beaming. The picture I am posting is from a bathroom at a food place. Normally, my phone is NOT in a bathroom but I glanced myself in the mirror and saw my smile and had to take a photo (or two!)

The search is finally over! It has taken me 14 years, but was worth the painful journey to find Deanna. If you are looking for someone who understands curly hair, know how to cut and style curly hair and how to bring out the best in you curly hair, you can stop looking. Let me introduce you to Deanna. Actually, you can just stop reading right now and just do yourself a huge favor and go ahead and book yourself an appointment. Deanna listens, looks at what you want to accomplish and lets you know what is possible and what is not. Deanna understood what I was going for and didn't try to talk me into her vision. She worked with me and my hair to get me back on track. I've suffered with stringy, and scraggly looking hair for way too many years, and within one appointment, Deanna was able to get my hair to luscious, healthy looking curls that get me tons of compliments, which are nice, but more importantly, also make me feel good about my hair again.

Hello Yelp-Land! I am posting to you exactly what I put on FB to my friends. Hope this helps you too. This year and (at least) once per month, I would like to recognize those women (mostly) that influence my life and have a local business or are local workers. I hope this helps you and helps them! I love seeing women supporting other women. Always. Uplifting, supportive, without hesitation. January: My share is Cindy Skinner-Latter that helped me transform my curls and frizz into a new lifestyle. I knew how to wear my curls and treat them years ago, but I lost my way. After years of coloring, "Shellacking" aka Brazilian blowout, and many chemicals later - I am grateful Cindy uses Organic products! I truly am so thrilled. Au-natural baby!!!! She is worth the price and the wait! And you are worth natural products and self care ‍ with a new regime! #womenowned #supportlocal #sharingiscaring A_Curls Best Friend #womenowned #supportlocal #sharingiscaring

New Curly style!

You don't need to go anywhere else. EVER! I needed help with my changing, over bleached, dry, aging, uneven curls. It was easy to book with Cindy. Her salon is gorgeous, welcoming and fresh and all her own. It's easy to park, spacious, quiet, and she offers coffees, water, snacks, etc. Then, she took me on a journey of how to get my hair healthy again! She is so easy going, super-knowledgeable, and explained every step on how to take care of my curls. The detox shampoos/conditioners were scrumptious. All the product is amazing and organic! Then, she videos the styling lesson to make it easy to do yourself. She made my hair look so healthy with great curls like I've never seen before on my head before. And, then she delivers a full packet of information on all the products used and how to do everything along with suggestions of things to buy at home that will help to get and keep healthy hair! Nothing broke the bank but I invested in myself and bought all new product specifically for my hair. When I got home, I cleaned out all the product that wasn't working (Diva Curl - not my friend). I'm so happy I am on this journey with CIndy! And, we had a lot of fun, too!! Not looking back! Thank you CIndy. You are the BEST!

Before, dehydrated and lots of product buildup
