Beyond the Curl: Twelve Years of Caring for Textured Hair

Beyond the Curl: Twelve Years of Caring for Textured Hair

Beautiful hair starts with understanding it. Its texture, its history, the condition of your scalp and the way you care for it all shape the approach it needs.

Over the past twelve years, I have dedicated my work to cutting and caring for curly and coily hair. Throughout that time, my expertise has grown beyond shaping curls. Today, my work brings together personalised haircare, scalp knowledge, ethical colouring and carefully selected extensions.

At CheCurls, every appointment begins with taking the time to understand your hair and what you want to achieve.

A closer look at your hair and scalp

Working with curly and coily hair has led me to specialise in the scalp and hair concerns I regularly encounter among my clients.

My advice is informed by trichology—the study of hair and the scalp. I consider your routine, previous treatments, scalp condition and the changes you have noticed in your hair before recommending an approach.

A trending product or treatment does not automatically belong in your routine. Every recommendation should have a purpose.

That is why I take my time. Together, we build a care plan around your hair’s needs, your goals and what you can realistically maintain at home. When a concern needs medical assessment, recognising that is also part of responsible care.

Ethical colour for textured hair

Colouring curly and coily hair is one of my main specialisations. It requires careful consideration of the texture, condition and treatment history, alongside the colour you want to achieve.

For me, ethical colouring means making considered decisions about what your hair can reasonably handle. It means honest conversations about your goals, thoughtful preparation and a clear aftercare plan. Sometimes, it also means working towards a result over several appointments.

The preparation and care surrounding a colour service deserve just as much attention as the colour itself.

This specialisation has brought clients to my chair from across the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. They come for a personalised approach to colour, with close attention to the hair underneath the finished look.

More ways to wear your texture

I also believe that embracing your curls can include exploring different looks. You may want more length, fuller hair, a different shape or a colour effect created with extensions.

That is why I have expanded my expertise into hair extensions, with particular attention to texture matching and choosing methods suited to different hair types.

I offer carefully selected extensions in distinctive curl patterns and custom colours. The choice of hair, placement, attachment method and maintenance plan all form part of the service. My aim is to create a beautiful blend while considering your natural hair, scalp and daily routine.

Expertise shaped around you

Whether you visit me for a curl cut, colour transformation, personalised care plan or extensions, my approach starts in the same place: listening, assessing and making thoughtful choices.

With twelve years of experience, I bring both technical knowledge and a trained eye to every appointment—helping you explore your look with a clearer understanding of how to care for it.
