At The Curl Alchemist, we’re not interested in doing things just because they’ve always been done that way.

Sometimes you take the salon outside for lunch. ☀️🌿

We don’t follow the leader. We lead by being ourselves. ✨

Today, I had the absolute pleasure of working with a beautiful client who’d travelled all the way from Florida. When we began her appointment, it quickly became clear that her hair was very hydrophobic. Hydrophobic hair is dehydrated from within the hair shaft, which makes it hard for moisture and products to pe*****te. So, instead of absorbing moisture, products tend to just sit on the outside, which can lead to build-up, dullness, and curls that never quite reach their full potential. To address this, I first clarified her hair to remove some of that built-up that’s creating a barrier. And then I used a moistursing cleanser under steam. The gentle heat helped soften the cuticle, which let hydration actually pe*****te the hair and not just sit on top. From there, I followed with conditioning and hydration techniques to seal that moisture in. And as you can see, the results speak for themselves. Healthy curls don’t happen by chance. They happen when you understand the science of the hair and give it exactly what it needs. Just science. Not magic.

🚨 YOUR CURLY HAIRDRESSER HAS A WORLD CHAMPION CLIENT 🚨🌍

Yep. Lia. Our Lia. 👏🔥

Last year she smashed the HYROX World Championships and came home with 🥈 2nd place in her age group.

Now she’s done it AGAIN.

This weekend she’s in London taking on the Deadly Dozen World Championships:

🏃‍♀️ 12 x 400m runs
💀 12 brutal Labours
🌍 One VERY tough World Championship

And while Lia is 18,000km away, we’re doing what we do best…

CHEERING LOUDLY FROM THE SIDELINES. 📣🇳🇿

👇 LET’S FLOOD THE COMMENTS FOR LIA 👇

Drop her a ❤️
Drop a 🔥
Drop a 🇳🇿
Or just tell her GO LIA!

Let’s make sure she feels a little bit of Dunedin behind her when she hits that start line.

9:05am NZ time.

Go show them what you’re made of, Lia. 💪🔥

We’ll be watching. ❤️

🚨 IF YOUR CURLS FIGHT BACK WHEN YOU DETANGLE… READ THIS. 🚨

The Janeke Superbrush is BACK! 🇮🇹✨

Made in Italy and basically the Beyoncé of detangling brushes. 👑

💧 Detangles with less pulling & snagging
🪮 Flexible bristles move through curls without dragging them apart
💦 Distributes conditioner, masks & styling products evenly
✨ Helps smooth frizz and encourage more uniform curl clumps
💨 Honeycomb design allows airflow through the brush for faster drying
🙌 Makes wash day SO much easier

Perfect for waves, curls, coils and everything beautifully in between. 🌀

If detangling currently feels like a wrestling match… we can end this relationship. 😂

Throw back to 2025- Monday was a deeply emotional day for me one that reminded me why I do what I do.
It began with a young woman who sat in my chair with what I can only describe as one of the most breathtaking heads of hair I've ever had the privilege of working with.
And I don't say that lightly, I've worked with some stunning curls, but this was something else. Natural, fine, highly textured, full of depth and beauty... yet she couldn't see any of it.
She hated her hair. Wished she looked like everyone else
As she opened up, her mother sat nearby and quietly cried... heartbroken, watching her daughter carry the weight of not feeling beautiful in her own skin.
And here's the truth many wouldn't guess: despite its fullness, her hair is incredibly fragile. It's been silently breaking for years not from bad products or neglect, just from everyday life. She hadn't had a cut in 2.5 years, and broken inches shorter since. But on Monday, she trusted me. She gave me the honour of caring for her curls of educating, shaping, and deeply hydrating them.
The transformation wasn't just physical. She smiled.
Really smiled. And in that moment, I felt nothing but gratitude
She's not ready to share her face with the world, and I respect that deeply but her hair tells its own story.
