Hi there, I’m Jazz! I never imagined I’d shift my career path. As a child, I didn’t appreciate my curly hair and often straightened it, just like many others. It wasn’t until an encouraging hairdresser inspired me to embrace my curls and go for the big chop that I truly saw their beauty. He recognized what I couldn’t, and I took his advice to heart. Typically, when I visited salons, I was told that straightening was best for zero frizz. However, I struggled with my roots growing out after just a week or two, and I realized—why fight nature? That supportive hairdresser not only boosted my confidence but also understood my needs. I invested in my skills locally, learning from various stylists and completing the National Certification for Hairdresser and Beauty courses, along with training from brands like L’Oréal Pro, Wella, and Schwarzkopf. Yet, I noticed a significant gap: there was little focus on how to cut curly hair.
