As someone with very curly, multi-texture hair, trusting anyone with a haircut is honestly scary. I decided to take a chance because of Douglas's reviews, booked a consultation, and came back the next day for the cut--and I'm so glad I did. Douglas absolutely knew what he was doing. He listened, explained his approach, and clearly understands curls. I even joked with my mom that I've had curly hair for 40-something years and still struggle to get my curls to behave, and Douglas somehow did it like magic. I left feeling amazing, and my confidence has grown every day since. I've been getting so many compliments, and people keep asking who did my hair and wanting his number. I'd highly recommend Douglas, especially if you're curly and nervous about finding the right stylist. read more

Douglas is the best! I've seen him for hair cuts for nearly a decade. I have long, thick, curly hair and I usually ask for a few inches off and layers. He is so diligent and meticulous with his work; it's really cool to watch someone who's excellent at their craft and especially cool when your hair is the result. I always walk out looking good and feeling good. On an aesthetic level his salon is cute and he plays nice music. He is a great conversationalist and despite my appointments taking a while (I have a lot of hair, we were together for 1H45M yesterday) conversation never runs stale and there's always things to talk about. He's the best I can't recommend anyone else further. Again, I've been a client for a decade! read more

Douglas Da Silva Studio - Hair Stylists Near Me

I recently had the pleasure of a curly style from Douglas and I am so pleased with the results! I do not have hair that is easy to style, it's very dry (thanks hormones...), frizzy, partially curls/coils, other parts wavy, as we curlies know... the more you work on it, the bigger it gets. I visited Douglas after my long time stylist retired. It was over a year since my last cut, I was in need of a style and shaping... we curly folks know that visiting a new stylist can be fraught, will it turn out, will they take just the right amount off, will they hear my concerns and preferences? All of these thoughts ran thru my mind, after all, a bad cut can take a few years to grow out. Rest assured, my Douglas tamed and shaped my unruly thick hair and transformed and shaped the curls into just the style I wanted - myself but refreshed. It looked amazing! I had so many people stop me on the street to tell me how good my hair looked. As we curly girls know, our hair has personality, every day is different. Douglas took just the right amount off, and he introduced me to a new product that reduced frizz, gave my curls definition; he kindly showed me how to properly use it without being condescending. I really appreciated the tips! I will be coming back for sure! Thanks Douglas!! read more
