Curly isn’t a trend, it is a lifestyle. Start spreading curly love on young people.
Unfortunately, in a lot of salons when a curly-haired woman pushes open the door, if she is not refused, she is offered a straightening service because of a lack of knowledge. This must change. We looked at how curly-haired women/children are treated in salons and how they view the experience. 66% of women with curly hair come to the salon for treatment versus 40% of straight-haired women, and yet many have spoken of their traumatic salon experience.
"He cut my hair as short as my straight-haired sisters. I cried a lot. Now I only let curly-haired stylists cut my hair."
The anecdote above is one of many and is why so many women have a lack of trust in salons. In fact, 40% of curly-haired women prefer to tend to their own curls than go to the salon. As industry leaders, we believe it is our responsibility to empower and educate hairdressers on curly hair. To ensure we can offer women with beautiful natural hair the best experience, we consulted with two curl experts: Le Pétit Curl Concept hairstylist and educator/ Curl hair Experts & scalp experts.

CULINARY EXCELLENCE, ELEVATED BY TECHNOLOGY.
At Spyce, we’ve created the world’s first restaurant featuring a robotic kitchen that cooks complex meals.
We created this concept in hopes of solving a problem we found ourselves facing, being priced out of wholesome and delicious food. Along the way, we’ve been lucky enough to add in some Michelin-Star magic with Chef Daniel Boulud. We’re excited to introduce you to Spyce, open to the world at 1 Brattle Square.
