In 2003, Jo was introduced to the art of dry cutting curls through a friend who had experienced a specialized curly cut at Devachan in NY. Inspired by this, Jo delved into the Curly Girl method, as detailed in Lorraine Massey's book, one of the original developers of DevaCurl. Already a fan of this product line, Jo eagerly practiced the technique on her friend and eventually introduced it to her textured clients. The positive results spread through word of mouth, leading to a clientele that is now 90% textured hair. Jo considers herself fortunate to have stumbled upon this niche, finding immense reward in shaping hair, boosting confidence in natural appearances, and sharing in her clients' hair journeys over the past 18+ years.
