This hair salon in Brisbane, Australia, is designed for people with severely curly hair. Even African hair can be easily dealt with here.
Hair stylist Pat has specialized in curly hair for 13 years. It’s an understandable choice as she has curly hair herself. Pat’s career began in Brazil. Last year, the woman moved to Australia.
Pat Dionizio, hairstylist:
“When I came here, I found work quickly as there are not many hairdressers here who know how to work with our hair type.”
Local barbershops generally don’t take clients with hair with fine curls.
But some salons are trying to change the seemingly dead-end situation. For example, the owners of this salon have invested thousands of dollars in employee training. Now they can work with all kinds of hair.
Alanna Reed, director of the hair salon:
“We ourselves have non-wavy hair. So to earn the real trust of our clients, we had to work with curly hair every day.”
For actress Perry Mooney, going to the hair salon used to be stressful. Now that’s all changed.
