Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring Texture Specialists
Beyond a cosmetology license, texture specialists typically pursue DevaCurl, Ouidad, or Rezo certifications. These programs teach specialized techniques for cutting and styling curly hair.
Curly hair behaves differently than straight hair. Texture specialists cut hair dry (not wet) to see the natural curl pattern and use techniques like curl-by-curl cutting to create shape without disrupting the curl.
Texture specialists often charge premium prices ($80-$200+ for cuts) due to their specialized skills. The time-intensive nature of curl work and the expertise required justify higher pricing.
Yes! Many people with curly hair have had negative salon experiences and actively seek out certified texture specialists. The curly hair community is passionate and loyal to skilled stylists.
