I’m Neel, owner of Neel Loves Curls Hair Salon in Melbourne, Australia.
When I was in Sydney in 2005, I went to a hair seminar which taught me about cutting curly hair dry. Sadly, there aren’t many places in Australia that teach curly hair so I went to America to learn the DevaCurl technique. I’ve only just opened up my curly/wavy hair salon so I have much to learn about running a business.
In the next 5 years I would like to train someone up and give my passion for curls to the next generation of hairdressers.
I am always inspired to learn more…
I never want to think I know everything. But the thing that inspires me the most is when a client says “WOW!” after their haircut. If you have passion in your job that helps you stand out. I find most hair salons soulless experiences so I had hand crafted gowns made and my salon is a theatre and the washing area is a jungle with jungle music whilst I wash/deep treatment your curls.
In Melbourne, everyone wants volume and big hair.
I can only speak for Melbourne in Australia but red and coppers are hugely popular on the north side of the city. As I only cut curly hair, I have definitely noticed more clients asking for more voluminous curls.. to show them off more!
I want my clients to go home knowing that…
They aren’t the only person with their hair type. I send loads of clients to blogs and forums to help inspire them to embrace their curls.
Your curls are like a plant.
You are the gardener and you need the right ingredients for your curls! Oh, and NO SULFATES, and NO SILICONES!
