This hairdressing salon in Brisbane, Australia, is made for people with very curly hair. Here they can easily cope even with such hair as Africans.
Hairdresser and stylist Pat has been specializing in curly hair for 13 years. The choice is understandable, since she herself has such hair. Pat’s career began in Brazil. Last year, the woman moved to Australia.
Pat Dionyzio, hairdresser-stylist:
“When I came here, I quickly found a job, as there are few hairdressers here who know how to work with our hair type.”
Local hairdressers mostly do not take customers who have hair with small curls.
But some salons are trying to change the seemingly dead-end situation. For example, the owners of this salon have invested thousands of dollars in employee training. Now they can work with any hair.
Alanna Reed, hairdressing manager:
“We have frizzy hair ourselves. Therefore, in order to earn the real trust of customers, we had to work with curly hair every day.”
For actress Perry Mooney, going to the hairdresser used to be stressful. Now everything has changed.
