(Ouidad Deep Treatment, Haircut and Style done by Andrea)By Andrea K.
One of the most frequently asked questions I get asked while behind the chair is "How did you start specializing in Ouidad?". It is one of my favorite stories to tell because working with curly has has truly became my passion!
About 9 years ago one of my clients ( and childhood friend) told me about this great product that she started using on her hair called Ouidad. Her sister ordered it from New York, and loved it, so she tried it herself. She told me it was the best thing she ever used on her hair. I was skeptical mostly because I was sold on another product that controlled my hair since I was 13 years old. Being a stylist for many years, I did have the opportunity to sample products all the time, but none worked better than "my Spritz Forte"... Until the day I learned they where discontinuing "my Spritz". I was panicked! What was I going to do ?!
I got a hold of Play Curly Volumizing foam by Ouidad and gave it a try. That was the moment that changed EVERYTHING for me!! I was on the phone THAT DAY with the Ouidad Salon in New York, not only ordering more product, but getting all the information I needed to become a Ouidad Certified Stylist. The next thing I knew, I was on airplane to New York about 3 weeks later training under Ouidad's wing to become Illinois' first Ouidad Certified stylist!
I can't believe how rewarding this has been! I have truly found my passion and "nitch" in my field of hair dressing. I have never thought I would have a clientele from multiple states! It is awesome to be able to teach my customers "how" to style their curly hair, embrace it, and love it!
