We’re not actually proud of ourselves when you leave here and your hair looks good, that should be a given. But when you come back in and tell us that you’re having a bad hair day and your hair STILL looks good? That’s a win. That’s our highest priority!

MORE THAN A HAIRCUT

We’re not just here to give you a better haircut. We want to change your salon experience. And we believe what we do here is about more than just your hair — it’s about feeling good about yourself. We love being part of that process.

Our stylists listen to your goals and ideas, your frustrations, and the curls that drive you crazy. Together, we create a game plan for a cut and/or color that you’ll love.

We’ve found that a great set of curls can work magic. What will happen to you when you can finally stop fighting with your hair? What will you do with all of those compliments and all that newfound confidence? Soak it up, of course.

A Community Of Curls

The Curl Sanctuary is more than a salon – It’s a family, an army of curly folk who share tips, stories, inspiration, and enjoy their time in our home away from home. Our culture is built on the cornerstone of education and sharing– What’s ours is yours. Welcome to the community.

CURLY HAIR TIPS

THROW OUT YOUR SHAMPOO

Opt for non‑stripping cleansers instead.

SILICONES = NO

Most conditioner has silicone, which only dries out your hair.

COOL OFF YOUR CURLS

Seal curls by shifting to cooler water in the shower.

TERRYCLOTH IS A BAD IDEA

Textured fiber roughs up the cuticle of your hair and creates frizz.

NO TOUCHING!

When your hair is drying, do not touch it unless you want frizz!

PRODUCT LINES

INNERSENSE

Innersense is as good as it gets for us when it comes to a organic. Holistic approach to hair care. We love that they focus so much attention on not only the quality of the products but not putting any known toxins into their line, even in “trace amounts” which is so often done in the beauty industry. While the intervenes line uses a more traditional approach to cleansing and conditioning, we find that many of our curly clients really enjoy the lush sulfate free lather followed by the silicone-free botanically based conditioner that makes the hair feel great. Between the amazingly fresh smell and the nonstop performance of their cleansers, conditioners and styles, this was a quick crowd favorite ay the Curl Sanctuary.

ID HAIR

ID Hair is a Denmark based company with products that are green salon approved in purpose. This certification means it is held to the highest standards in ingredients, that unfortunately not all US based products are. We love their color bomb line of toning deep conditioners and often use these to refresh clients color during our amazing detox and hydrate service included with all our curly cuts. We also love their styling products including but not limited to their dry shampoo, heat protectant and strong hold hairspray.

Jane Iredale

Jane iredale is Beauty That Can – More than 25 years ago, Jane Iredale envisioned a makeup that was good for the skin – equal parts clean ingredients, skin-loving benefits and no-fade performance. She knew that what you put on your skin can change you, and she decided to make a change for the better.
Jessica has been using this product line for more than 10 years and has brought it into our salon so more clients seeking clean skincare and beauty products can have access to it.
The standards and morals of this company are in beautiful alignment with what the Curl Sanctuary stands for – Clean Beauty!

HEALTHY HAIR COMES FROM HEALTHY PRODUCTS

And there’s always something new to learn in curly trends. We keep going back to further our expertise, year after year, to bring new skills back to you.

Doing hair is easy, but teaching it? That’s our highest priority!

MEET OUR OWNER

JESSICA MCTAGGART

Jessica began her study of curly hair in 2004 when she embarked on a life-long education with DevaChan. Now an Advanced Stylist with nearly 15 years of curly hair specialization, she continues to return to DevaCurl Academy in New York and LA to learn and participate in the most recent trends and techniques in curl.

In addition to her aptitude in curly hair, Jessica is an experienced color artist, with a forte in corrective color. She believes that healthy hair is beautiful hair, and endeavors to share her talent in hair care with her clients and fellow stylists at the Curl Sanctuary. She knows that great hair isn’t reserved for salon days, but should be taught daily for flawless looks from home. Jessica spends her free time with her husband and two dogs.

“When you come to the Curl Sanctuary you’re not just another client, you become a part of our big crazy family of curl lovers.“

OUR EDUCATION

Never stop learning, never stop growing

Every Stylist at the Curl Sanctuary is trained in the art of Curls.

We believe in learning, day in, day out. Because no two curls are alike, we carefully select and train our stylists in the nuances of curly hair. After completing the Curl Sanctuary apprentice program, working directly under Master Stylist Jessica McTaggart, our stylists work their way through the DevaCurl Academy, continually building upon courses and progressing through three levels of education: Associate, Advanced, and Master Stylist.

WE LEARN TOGETHER

Unlike some salons, with independent stylists, we’re building a community of curls. Curl Sanctuary stylists learn from each other, lend advice, and listen. This means we’re never alone, and that makes a big difference – because two heads are always better than one.
