Quiet the noise of curl care with a routine that actually fits your lifestyle and your hair goals
Denver's Curly Hair Salon for Intentional Transformation
If you're curious what your hair would look and feel like with the right routine and styling method, you've found the curly hair salon for you..
I'm here to help you see the beauty I see in your curls. To appreciate the wild, unpredictable nature of the hair you were blessed with. I'm passionate about teaching you how to love and embrace your texture and all it has to offer.
While I may not have curly hair myself, I've spent nearly two decades studying curls of all types—the products that moisturize and protect them, and the styling methods that create supple, frizz-free results.
A hair service with me is more than making you look beautiful.
I'll provide the education and coaching you need to manage your individual hair needs. I'll show you how to achieve the style you've been craving and give you a plan to care for your hair from the moment you leave until our next appointment.
As Denver's only private curly hair salon and head spa, Wild Soul offers an experience you won't find at traditional salons. Every appointment is one-on-one in a luxury setting designed for transformation—not just a trim.
I work with clients who are ready to stop fighting their texture and start working with it. Whether you have kinky coils, corkscrew curls, classic spirals, or loose waves, my scalp-first approach addresses the root cause of dryness, frizz, and lifeless curls.

Preparing for Your Curly Hair Salon Appointment
I utilize a dry cutting method on all curly clients, which means we cut before we wash. Here are essential must-dos when preparing for your appointment:
-
Come with clean, fully dry, curly-styled hair no more than one day dirty
-
Make sure your hair is free of tangles and dreads (let me know in advance if significant detangling is needed)
-
Avoid overuse of products that would prevent my hands from gliding through your hair
-
Let your curls live free of clips, hair ties, hats, rubber bands, or headbands
-
Bring a list of current products you use regularly
-
Do not brush or comb your hair once fully dry

Why is my curly hair so dry?
ç
KINKY CURLS
The Z or "zig-zag" pattern is so tightly coiled it can cause kinky curls to shrink up to 75% of the hair's actual length. This curl type is more fragile and less able to absorb and maintain moisture. Due to its inability to absorb moisture easily, it requires a more rigorous moisturizing routine on wash days and allows for longer time between washes as it drinks up natural oils.
Haircare Best Practice: Co-wash and deep condition weekly, clarify semi-regularly for deep cleaning. Find moisturizing products that can be applied on both wet and dry hair. This practice allows moisture to build up over time.
CORKSCREW CURLS
Like a telephone cord, these tight ringlets tend to be finer and lighter in weight, resulting in lots of fullness and volume. These curls need products that provide deep, long-lasting hydration similar to kinky curls, benefiting from layers of moisture—conditioning, leave-in, and topical products. This curl pattern tangles easily, requiring regular separating even when you can't comb through.
Haircare Best Practice: Regular conditioning alternated with deep conditioning treatments is ideal. Utilize oil-based cleansers in your routine, which mimic the hair's protective barrier, providing more slip and minimizing tangles.
Why Your Curly Hair Feels So Dry? Porosity Explained: Low, High & Normal
The natural twists and turns of curly hair affect overall porosity and the hair's ability to retain water. Each turn exposes weak points in the cuticle layer, acting like openings in a dam—these areas let moisture run out. These areas are more susceptible to breakage, leaving your hair feeling drier and rougher to the touch.
The more turns in your curls, the more naturally dry your hair will be. Understanding your hair's porosity is critical to choosing the right products at our curly hair salon.
What does low porosity mean?
Hair repels water and slowly absorbs moisture. This hair type will frizz in humid weather, as curly hair often travels to where moisture is when it's lacking moisture itself. Consistent treatments and silky butter and oil-based products that absorb easily are ideal.
What does high porosity mean?
There are lots of holes and gaps in the hair, which means it's easier for moisture to come in and easier for it to escape. Richer, more emollient products are ideal as products absorb easily into this hair type. This hair benefits greatly from multiple layers of moisturizing curl products, as it needs a constant source of moisture to keep feeling and looking good.
What does normal porosity mean?
The cuticle is loose but has no gaps or holes, meaning moisture absorbs easily and little moisture is lost from the hair. Regular conditioning and lightweight products are ideal as this hair type can become weighted down easily. Minimally frizzes in humid weather.
CLASSIC CURLS
A consistent and defined "S" shape curl pattern. Its coiling shape extends from roots to ends. Classic curls need gentle care and balanced moisture—they're vulnerable to dehydration that can leave them looking dull and frizzy.
Haircare Best Practice: Well-moisturized cleansing and regular conditioning. Classic curls benefit from moisture leave-in products combined with the layering of structure products like mousses and lightweight gels to guarantee a bouncy, voluminous result.
WAVY CURLS
Relaxed "S" curl pattern. This curl type may be non-uniform—straighter at the crown, wavy in the middle, and drier on the ends. Naturally low in volume, loose curls need lightweight, curl-amplifying moisture and the strongest hold gels.
Haircare Best Practice:Cleanse with clear shampoos that provide a more astringent effect and choose a lightweight, silky, moisturizing conditioner. Choose a light leave-in and layer with strong-hold structure and volumizing products.
Curl Type vs. Hair Type: What Denver's Curly Hair Salon
Wants You to Know...
Curl type points to the pattern of behavior of your curls and contributes to their ability to maintain moisture. Hair type refers to the hair's diameter and natural feeling to the touch—fine, medium, and coarse. Your hair type contributes just as much to the quality and appearance of the hair as its curl type does. Not all curls are created equal. At Wild Soul, we assess your unique curl pattern to build a custom care routine that actually works.
-
Fine hair is characterized by its soft, baby-like appearance. It's fragile and highly susceptible to over-processing and breakage. Often exists in lighter hair color ranges.
-
Medium hair is characterized as a moderate-sized strand, still flexible and softer to the touch, resistant to breakage under normal circumstances. Often exists in brown to dark blonde color ranges.
-
Coarse hair is characterized by its large size and rougher, more textured feel—a result of its oversized cuticle layer. This hair type is very resistant to breakage but also very resistant to becoming blonde, as it often exists in the black to darkest brown hair color range.
Each head of hair has unique characteristics, and any combination of these is possible. This is why each head of hair is truly unique and both need to be taken into consideration when choosing the right products for at-home use.
Cleanse
Proper scalp cleansing is essential for long-term hair health and growth. Scrubbing underneath the hair vigorously with the pads of your fingertips maximizes cleansing and exfoliation. A thorough rinse increases lift at the root, eliminates buildup around the follicle, minimizes unnecessary hair loss, and increases overall hair health.
Curl Awakening: Your 3-Step Journey to Curly Hair Freedom
Treat
Moisture is the key to creating perfect curls. Just as important, your hair needs to be structurally sound to hold onto the moisture you provide. The drier your hair, the more often you should do regular heat-enhanced masque treatments alternating between strength and moisture.
For uber-dry hair, in addition to utilizing leave-in products on wash days, consider other ways of delivering moisture. Topical oils, dry conditioners, balms, and sprays help tremendously in maximizing moisture retention.
Trims
Once your hair becomes dry and brittle and begins to show signs of breakage, haircutting becomes paramount. I recommend getting your haircut regularly every 8-12 weeks with proper maintenance in between.
Regular haircuts help your hair grow faster by reducing breakage and limiting split ends from working their way up the hair shaft. This prevents the frustrating cycle of hair growing but never getting longer—a pattern that's hard to stop once it begins.
