CURLS GONE WILD

I am Melanie Brown owner of Curls Gone Wild Salon. For the past 15 years I have had the honor to pass my knowledge to dozen of curly clients and stylists in training.

Everyone always asks how does a straight hair chick specializes in curly hair. Well I always had an adoration for curly hair and curly hair women were always beautiful in my eyes. I always wanted curly hair and after countless failed perms on myself, I gave birth to my beautiful Curly daughter Anamaria. Shortly after that I graduated from Beauty school. That’s when the journey started. I loved her hair and there was no way I would straighten it. But I realized what I was taught about hair in beauty school just was not working for her hair. Every time I would try a cut on her, I had learned in one of my advanced classes (which by the way are all performed on wet hair) her curls always dried and shrunk into a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back lol. I realized this was due to her curls being much tighter in the front then in the back. So common sense told me just to cut it dry. And after discovering the Curly Girl Book by Lorraine Massey, in which dry cutting on curly hair is recommended, I never returned to wet cuts again.
