The Curly Girl's ObsessionsHow I Became A Curly Hair SpecialistIt happened on New Year’s Eve my whole family was sick. I was eating dinner in my PJs and received a call from my friend. She told me that an experienced stylist at her salon quit, and they needed someone to take over her clientele. I knew the minute I hung up that phone, I was getting that position. From there, the story unfolds.
