I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately. I’ve been reaching out to other curl specialists, and while that’s been inspiring, it also made me notice something about myself. When I heard about their goals and dreams, I sometimes felt this quiet pit in my stomach, like I was trying to fit into their path instead of listening to my own. And that feeling became a signal, not a failure. So I came back to myself. Back to what I’ve always loved. Science, curiosity, and understanding the why behind hair and scalp. That’s why I’m stepping into a diploma in trichology. Not because I’m done being a curl specialist, but because I want to keep growing. I’ll always be here doing the work I love with curls, and I’m also choosing to expand what I can offer, so I can serve my clients even better. That’s the path I’m choosing. On purpose. I want to say thank you to some very shiny curl stars who have given me their time and advice to help me figure out where to from here Wellington Curl Specialist David Corry Cabela - Curl Products from New Zealand Wellington Curl Specialist

“My hair isn’t curly… I don’t even think I have waves.”
Plot twist: that’s exactly what every one of these clients said before sitting in my chair last week.
They arrived with hair they thought was straight and left discovering bends, waves, curls, and texture they never knew existed.
Turns out sometimes the magic isn’t creating curls… it’s uncovering what’s been there all along. 🧪✨
To help bring that natural texture to life, I reached for my trusty Cabela favourites. The lightweight feel, medium hold, and beautiful shine make them perfect for enhancing movement without weighing the hair down. ❤️

The Curl Alchemist’s newest team member has arrived 🌙✂️
Some salons hire senior stylists…
I hired a 6 year old with big visions, unmatched confidence, and access to tint brushes.
Nixon brings fresh ideas, elite consultation skills, and absolutely no awareness of salon insurance policies.
Limited appointments available — mainly because he keeps booking himself in for “snack breaks” and important chair spins. ⏳😂
Welcome to the team, Nixon 🤍 for
