They call me Curlpop and I have Curly hair. I was born with tons of curly hair, it must be my background. I am a mixture of African,Corsican ,Portuguese and Spain however both my parents are native to the Island of Puerto Rico. i love my curls and everyone else with curly hair. Did I always love it? Well I am not sure but what I am sure about is that I started living the day that I discovered my curly hair. I have traveled because of it, I have met amazing people and have been part of amazing moments because of it. Have looked at the world thru the lenses of a Curly girl oh and thru the lenses of a camera. I have made a living out of it. Working on editorial sets, creating stories for companies shooting gorgeous models and even launching products for curly hair, being a spokes person and a sharer of curl information. I have definitely enjoyed the world of curls . I had found love.
I became a licensed cosmetologist in 2000. In 2004 I started taking the hair world serious and I was working at a salon in New Milford, Ct called Joes Salon and Spa. By 2006 I had become part of Redken 5th ave as a Redken Artist. I was traveling for them at the time in the US and also outside of the US while I was teaching and working on runways, editorial shoots, covers for magazines and shows. Every time I was on stage teaching or in front of a crowd, I wore my hair curly. It’s the only way I felt confident about myself. In my career with Redken, someone must have noticed that I knew how to work with curly hair. It could possibly have been because I was great at straightening curly hair. As my career progressed in 2010, I was approach to lead a new launch that we would all be so excited over–a curly product called Curvaceous.
