Hello! For those of you that do not know me yet, my name is Daniela or Dee for short.
A few quick fun facts about myself:
SF Native; born & raised
Mexican and Puerto Rican
I went vegan “cold turkey” in September 2017
Queer as F***, respect it 100% or find someone else
Hidden love and talent for metal arts
On a very spiritual journey since ’16; still learning and growing along the way
Open book for the most part, ask me what you would like to know!
And now a little background on my hair journey…As stated above, I am a San Francisco native, actually grew up right around the corner from the salon that I now work out of!
I decided to attend beauty school 3 years after my first attempt to that thing they call college. Completed my hours and graduated from the San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology, with honors! I have been a licensed Cosmetologist since 2014. Got the pleasure of working in a few different salon settings but never really found my place. Almost gave up on the idea of doing hair until I decided to do everything on my own and start my own business!
That is when CurlyQ.Dee was born, some time in 2018.
The decision was made, I am now specializing in natural curly hair.
It is what I have growing out of my head and what I have always loved working with the most. In Augus ’18 I took my first DevaCurl inspiration class, Level 1. A little over a year later I found myself in NYC at the DevaCurl Academy going for that certification, Level 3. The investment has not been easy but i will say it’s worth it! The decision to do all of this on my own has been really scary, if I’m being completely honest, but I love and cherish my clientele that allows me to be a part of their curly hair journey!
Although I love working with curls, I also love braiding and soon enough want to expand with the world of extensions. At the moment I do offer protective styles as a form of extensions and soon there will be more forms of adding length/volume to those beautiful curls. Let’s talk about it so I can make this dream a reality!!
