How Nubia Suarez Turned the Rëzo Cut Into a Hair Care Empire
By Giana Levy · Updated August 19, 2024

As more people embrace their natural curls, finding the proper cut and style is a significant part of the process.

The Rëzo Cut is a tried-and-true technique that has remained relevant in the natural hair community for over a decade. Since its inception in 2011, The Rëzo Cut has taken over the Internet as many users flaunt their curly cut. Hundreds of pictures and videos of the hair transformations from the cutting technique can be viewed online. The method creates a dramatic flair that revives a person’s crown, ultimately bringing their curls back to life. It’s famous for enhancing the curl pattern by creating volume, balancing an even length, and optimizing its shape.

The cutting method was created by master hair stylist and educator Nubia Suarez. With a career that spans over 40 years, Suarez recognized the gaps in the hair care industry. Before developing the Rëzo Cut, she trained under hair educators at Goldwell, L’Oreal, Wella, Vidal Sassoon, DevaCurl, Ouidad, Aveda, and more. Throughout her extensive training, she noticed the limited education about curly haircutting. She bridged the gap by creating her signature Rëzo Cut and now shares her knowledge with the world.

In 2016, Suarez opened the rëzo Academy to train stylists on her cutting and hair coloring methods. As her academy grew, she began leading masterclasses to reach a wider audience. Her growth led her to launch the rëzo brand in 2018. The brand has expanded to include over 100 rëzo hair salons globally, plant-based hair care products, and a flagship location in New York City. 

Suarez’s empire has taken the world by storm. Here’s how you can join the movement with your curl pattern.

How To Style The Rëzo Cut On Different Hair Textures

1. Wavy (2A-2C)

The Rëzo Cut typically works best on medium to high-density hair (thickness and fullness). While achieving this cut on straighter textures may be more challenging, stylist Crystal Colon completed the look on wavy hair with a side part.

Suarez also demonstrated her technique by styling it in a curly shag haircut that she called the “Rëzo Shag.”

Along with rëzo hair products, the technique works well with damaged hair. Instead of doing a big chop, Suarez’s methods produced a healthy curl pattern.

3. Coily (4A-4C)

Tighter hair textures can also benefit from the Rëzo Cut, as the hair is shaped evenly all around.

If retaining length is the goal, the Rëzo Cut does that and adds more volume, as captured in the photo.

Other Trending Hairstyles Expected In The Fall 

Silk Press

As temperatures fall in the coming months, expect to see the rise of silk presses. The low humidity makes the straight and silky hairstyle easier to maintain in the fall. Unlike in the summer, the chances of sweating the style out are reduced, and it can be worn for a longer period of time.

Braided Ponytail

People are swapping out the traditional ponytail for a braided one. Its added flair and dimension doesn’t require as much heat. Its versatility makes it a perfect option for the fall, as the braided ponytail can be styled high, low, or even to the side.
