Curly and coily hair is what this house specialises in.
It is a subject of research: Nelma’s specialisation is on afro-textured hair processed with sodium hydroxide. Few salons in São Paulo can say that.
Most hairdressing training in Brazil still treats straight hair as the standard and coily hair as a variation. The result is familiar: cutting wet hair that shrinks by 40%, chemistry applied without testing, and the client leaving with broken hair and dented confidence.
What changes here
Dry or strand-by-strand cutting when the shape demands it. Genuine lipid replacement rather than generic conditioning. Assessment of the scalp beneath the roots — the area most affected by braid tension and product build-up. And a mandatory test strand before any relaxer or straightening service.
Going natural
If you are transitioning, your hair has two textures and two behaviours at once. No single haircut solves that: it takes a plan across months, in stages. We build that plan with you — including when to cut off the processed length.
