I wanted to tell everyone about my hairstylist of 12 years now..(WOW)—Gerri Curtis at the Blue Mambo Salon, located at 8 Chelsea Street just off of Montrose near the Museum district.  She not only is a highly skilled hairstylist, but she is an expert in color.  I have her cut, color and highlight my hair and I would go to no one else (yes, I know I am high maintenance).  She often travels to industry events to teach others, but also to learn about new ideas, techniques and products that she can bring back to her clients. 

Gerri annually goes to New York to attend international hair shows and has been trained at the Deva Salon in New York to follow the principles of caring for and styling curly hair.  In fact, she has clients that come from all over the state of Texas to have her style and care for their hair and she is now considered one of Houston’s Top Curly Hair experts. In addition to her busy schedule at the Blue Mambo, Gerri is also a mother of 4.  So she understands how little time we mommies give ourselves to take care of our hair in the morning.  It is true that your hair always looks best right after you leave the salon, but Gerri believes in giving you the tools and understanding to help you make it look that good when you style it yourself. She is absolutely fun to work with and truly the best hairstylist I have ever had.  Most of my close friends and anyone I know with curly hair, I refer to Gerri. 

I started to read it before giving it to my friend and realized, what I thought was my “hair problem”, was curly hair that needed taming.  I am not the only one.  According to the book, 65% of women have curly hair and most don’t know it or have been at a loss on how to care for it.  Gerri has showed me the best way to manage my hair; from the right way to let it dry naturally to bring out the true curls to the best “curl friendly” products, with Deva.  She sells the full line of Deva products as well as Chi, and others.
