Little me needed this moment more than I realized.

As a little girl, I danced ballet every Saturday for five years. And while my hair was never the issue, the experience still made me feel like my body didn’t belong in that space. I developed early, and instead of feeling supported, I was constantly made to feel uncomfortable and out of place. Eventually, I left ballet and never looked back.

Being able to co create this space that centered care and confidence for ballerinas with natural hair meant so much to me. We started the day with a hair workshop, moved into a ballet class with aesha_ash from The Swan Dreams Project, and ended it watching a private NYC Ballet rehearsal. There was celebration, community and gelato 😋

If you are someone who wants to experience this kind of care, we will be hosting more workshops soon, including one at Renaissance Curls focused on giving you tips and tricks on how to wash, detangle, and style your own natural hair.

And if you are a brand or organization that wants to partner with us, we are open. Let’s build something meaningful together 🤩 #naturalhair #naturalhairsalon #ballet #blackballerinas #blackballerina 2025-04-15 22:03:53 Little me neede.. 32 -99% 5 -89%
Self-care is just as important for the ones who provide it 💆🏽‍♀️

Grateful for my amazing team renaissancecurls who makes it all possible every day. In a team-based salon, we lift each other up so we can give our best to every client. Take care of yourself first, so you can care for others 🤗

On my way to meet charglad4hair at the salon, we’re headed to magicfingersinstitute ! She is doing a workshop for the students and I’m tagging along for support and to assist her.

The workshop is on Wash&Gos and the students got to learn and practice their washing, detangling and raking skills on a model. Some of the students even got a chance to experience the hairstyle themselves!

Unfortunately, natural hair generally isn’t really taught in cosmetology schools. I got my hair diploma in 2007 in Canada (fun fact: hairdressing in Quebec has been deregulated since the 80s!) and when I graduated I told my teacher that I wanted to specialize in natural hair, he laughed at me 🙃

I had to figure out how to provide professional natural hair services on my own for a bit, had to travel to different states just to get education catered to what I actually wanted to do which was taking care of loose natural hair. Despite these challenges, I was able to build a consistent natural hair clientele from scratch in 2 different countries 💗 

Hairdressing can be hard on the body so I’ve had to slow down these past couple of years and decided to focus on the salon instead. I’m now at the point of my career where I have more time to dedicate to sharing what I’ve learned over these last 13 years 🙌🏽 Thank you for watching! 2024-06-25 00:04:10 O.. 204 -93% 21 -55%

Welcome to my page! I’m the founder of Renaissance Curls, a natural hair salon in Harlem. I also do a little bit of hair on the side lol I’ll be talking more about my experiences with running a business from now on. If you want posts about haircare, follow renaissancecurls! 

I’ve been detoxing from social media for a while now, Instagram mainly tbh lol I was burnt out from spending so much time on marketing my business for the past 10 years that I only posted 5 times on this page in 2022 😂

This is not my first rodeo when it comes to business ownership but I’ve learned a lot in the past 2 years and I feel like I can finally breathe lol. Working 7 days a week (doing hair, training the stylists, marketing, financials, HR, building systems, rebuilding systems, taxes, payroll, customer service, meetings, etc) rapidly became the norm. I’m finally getting into a groove where I can have 2 days off!

I went back to work in July 2020 with the goal of building a company and we’re now a team of 10! In 2022 I learned what they mean when they say a mindset change is needed, you can’t make everyone happy and that you won’t achieve much if you try to do it alone. I’m so so so SO grateful for my team! 

Here’s a content dump of the of the last couple of months. My goal is to post more than 5 times this year 😂 See you soon! 2023-01-12 01:30:00 .. 298 -90% 24 -49%
Renaissance Curls renaissancecurls is technically about 11 years old but a year ago yesterday, we moved into the space we’re in now! Here’s a quick look into this pas year ☺️

I had an idea of what I was getting myself into (I’ve co owned a storefront salon before!) and even though I had expectations, they’ve been exceeded over and over again. I’m so grateful for all the ups and downs (thankfully it’s mainly ups 🙌🏽 ) I take my position as a salon owner very seriously as I have a solid team that truly and deeply care about our clients and their natural hair. They are also eager and willing to learn and show up to the salon wanting to be better than the day before. Nurturing their talent and setting them up for success by giving them the tools they need and sharing my skills, tips and tricks is the least I can do 🥹 I would be lying if I said that all of this easy but having an awesome team definitely helps. 

We’ve outgrown the space honestly lol but we love it so so much, we can’t wait to see what the next year brings!

I definitely don’t take as much pictures/videos of my work now that I’m not building my books anymore 😅 my phone is full of media of my team Renaissance Curls’s work! This is a compilation of all the videos I have of my work in the past month lol

I started in this industry in 2007 when taking pictures of your work wasn’t even a thought so going back to that has been nostalgic. I’ve been working hard doing hair for the past 15 years and I’m so happy I slowed down this year so I can focus on training my team and taking care of my Existing Clients.

Working long hours without a lunch/bathroom break was becoming the norm and if I would have continued working the way I was, I’m pretty sure I would have quit the industry 🥴 Now I’m focusing on doing services I really enjoy doing which are Haircuts, Wash & Gos, Silk Presses and Color.

One thing that I didn’t even think about was how much I would enjoy being my team’s assistant when they need help! Whether it’s helping them with washes, twists, blow outs, whatever they need. We’re a team-based salon so we all work together to service the Renaissance Curls clients and I’m so happy we made the switch last fall!

This is for my Montreal followers: Je pense venir donner des cours de perfectionnement pour coiffer et couper les cheveux naturels/crépus avant la fin de l’année. Qui serait intéressé? 🧐

Don’t forget to follow renaissancecurls and see you soon ❤️

The longevity of a Wash & Go depends on your set! This is the same set as my previous post and one thing we made sure of (even though I finished her hair at midnight lol 🥴) was that her hair was completely dry before we went to bed.

The set will get bigger and fluffier as you can see on Day 9 but all she had to do in the morning was shake her hair and fluff it out. She didn’t need to add any products in the morning! Everyone’s hair is different obviously, but when your hair is healthy and you set your hair well on the first day you can definitely have a long lasting Wash & Go. In my opinion, it’s one of the fastest hairstyles you can do on natural hair at home when you have the right technique!

I’m not booking New Clients at the moment (and probably won’t for a while) but you can book with my team renaissancecurls that I’ve trained myself ☺️

This was a full circle moment for me! Falina is a good friend of mine that I’ve known since high school and one of many that believed in my hair stylist dreams at the time 🥰 I colored her hair while I was in hair school! I hadn’t seen her since 2019 because of covid (I went to school in Montreal 🇨🇦) and it was really a pleasure to see her after so long and do her hair 🥰 I did a Dimensional Color, Wash & Go + Cut. 

I’m still not taking on New Clients so I can focus on scaling renaissancecurls. All the stylists working there have been and are being trained by me!

My Existing Clients can text us to book with me and my June calendar will open on May 17.

Si j’ai déjà fait tes cheveux à Montréal et que t’aimerais que je te coiffes lorsque tu passes à New York, texte nous pour prendre RDV! See you soon ❤️

My client thegirlwithcaramelskin and I were so confused when her post went viral. The magic of editing and shrinkage made a lot of people think that I cut off a lot of her hair 🤣 Check out how her hair is doing now! We cut the same amount as last time, just her split ends and we did a light shaping after her Wash & Go. She only comes to me for haircuts and takes care of her hair the rest of the time. She’s not dependent on my services because I make sure to give her any tips and tricks she may need to maintain all of this beautiful hair.

I stopped taking New Clients so I can focus on scaling renaissancecurls and to give my hands a rest (I’ve been doing this for 15 years!). All the stylist working with there have been and still are being trained by me 🥰 

Existing Clients, you can text us to book with me every 15th for the following month. My April books will open on March 15. See you soon!

Went away to the mountains to celebrate my birthday (12/15) Happy to say I got to do nothing 😭🙌🏽 

I’ve been working pretty much daily since the beginning of the year. I’ve been busy with my clientele, training my team renaissancecurls and working on the business the rest of the time.

The vision for Renaissance Curls started when I was 14 but the actual plan wasn’t created until December 2020. I wanted to give the whole curating a brand a try in 2021 lol After everything we were able to accomplish, I’m ready to fully step into my new position of hair salon owner in 2022 after solely focusing on building my own clientele for the last 15 years 🙌🏽 With that being said, I won’t be taking on New Clients starting in January 1st.  I’m not completely retiring from working behind the chair so a newsletter will be sent out once I will start taking them again. 

I have an idea of where Renaissance Curls can go but the reality is…I can’t do it alone. I know that if I put 100% of my focus on the team I will be able to lead them wherever our wildest dreams take us ☺️

Don’t hesitate to book with renaissancecurls as I will be present at the salon to answer any questions that you may have and to supervise Haircuts and Hair color services. Thank you for your support 🥰 2021-12-18 01:37:00 .. 871 -72% 121 +159%
A lot of our clients come to us because they see our Wash & Gos and wonder if it would work on their hair 🤔 

We figure out which techniques and products work best on your hair and do the style for you. We can also show you how to apply the products so you can try the style at home!

If you’ve never done a Wash & Go, don’t expect to get the same results on the first try when you do it at home. It can take a bit of practice but it’ll be worth it! Also, do not expect super defined curls if you haven’t been consistent in your hair care routine. Once you do start taking care of your hair at home regularly, your Wash & Gos will transform into gorgeous hydrated coils that will start to last longer and longer 🙌🏽

We’re currently booking until the end of the year! Book online or text us in the link in bio to book an appointment ❤️

Was randomly looking through my story archives last night and accidentally scrolled all the way up to the end of 2017 😅

Decided to watch some of my old stories and noticed one of my clients. She was just here yesterday! Look at her progress 🥲 The perfect representation of “Consistency is key!”

Yes you come to us so we can trim your hair, do the occasional hairstyle and treatment for you but it’s what you do at home that makes the biggest difference! Washing your hair every 7-10 days, not doing too much to your hair and treating it with care will do wonders. 

I don’t have as much availability as before but my team renaissancecurls is trained by me and ready to take care of your beautiful curls and coils. We truly love and enjoy taking care of your hair! Book your appointment now in the link in bio. See you soon!

P.S. Our new location has been open for 3 months today 🤩

All I did in this video was the Haircut a couple of weeks prior 😍

The Color and Wash & Go was done by Zoe on a Demo Sunday! 

Our last Demo Sunday for 2021 will be November 21st. We will be back in January 2022 with new Demo Sunday services ☺️ A huge thank you to everyone that came since we started this program in January of this year!

In the meantime, you can book online or text to get an appointment. See you soon! 2021-09-07 23:48:44 All I did in this .. 1,343 -57% 41 -12%
Love making curls and coils pop with Haircolor 😍

I currently am not taking on New Clients for Color services but I am teaching my team how to do colors like this!

Thank you to everyone that participates in Demo Sundays, we really appreciate it and know that you are making a difference in their careers ☺️ Having the stylists at renaissancecurls be able to offer quality cuts and color services on tight curls is very important to me so please bear with us when it comes to our availabilities. It’ll be easier to book with us once the whole team is trained and it’s happening slowly but surely. Can’t wait 🙌🏽

My favorite service to do are Haircuts 😍 they make such a difference in the overall look of your hair!

Slide 4 is so sad to me because I was about to record the haircut and my phone mysteriously stopped recording when I was about to start 🙃😅

We highly recommend getting your haircuts regularly to not only get rid of your split ends but to also helps with detangling your hair at home and making your hairstyles last longer!

We get booked very quickly at renaissancecurls but we also do get cancellations or clients that reschedule regularly! You can add yourself to our waitlist when you try to book online, check our online periodically or text us to book a future appointment. We’re currently booking until end of October by text (not available for New Client Packages) 

More availabilities will open up around the holidays as I’m training my team to cut like me ☺️ See you soon!

A very quick renaissancecurls salon tour that we did in the style of MTV Cribs meets Vanna White 😅😂 

I’m going to have to redo this video tbh because there has been a lot of additions in the space since this was shot! A lot of our clients love how the salon looks and it’s all thanks to midabo_designs. And we’re not even done yet!

Fun fact, I’ve been living in New York for less than 4 years! Hard work really does pay off 😍 Huge thank you to all of our wonderful clients, we appreciate you 🥰

Here’s a quick snippet of a Wash & Go + Haircut appointment with me! This appointment looks different for everyone since I do different techniques depending on the client’s hair texture, how they wear their hair and etc.

A lot of our clients come to me and weena_hairsalon because they see our Wash & Gos and wonder if it would work on their hair. 

We figure out which techniques and products would work best on your hair texture and do it for them! We also show them how we apply the products to make sure they can replicate the same results at home ☺️

We’re currently booking until the end of September! You can book online in the link in my bio (you can see all of our availabilities for the next 31 days) or text (929) 382-4297 to book!

We’ve moved! We’re now 10 blocks away, still in Harlem at 2376 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd ☺️

Honestly before COVID the plan was to stay in the suites forever 😅 but we outgrew the 2 rooms!

There’s still a lot to add to the space but I wanted to make sure we opened in June and our first day was on June 30th! We will be adding more decor in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned for updates.

This wouldn’t have been possible without midabo_designs, Steve, Charline, Dijuan, Laura and Flip. Thank you guys 🤗❤️

September will open soon for bookings and a newsletter will be sent out this week when it does. If you want a salon tour or have any questions let me know below, we can’t wait to welcome you! 2021-07-05 21:53:56 W.. 656 -79% 111 +138%
This is what happens when a client actually takes care of their hair at home and follows our tips! 🥲

She started off with a dark color  and we used olaplex every step of the way during each appointment as we gradually got her hair blonde right in time for summer while still maintaining the integrity of her gorgeous waves and curls 🥰

I currently am not taking on New Clients for Color services at the moment but we are taking them for Demo Sundays with weena_hairsalon! Our calendar is always open online for the next 31 days in the link in bio and until the end of August when you call 929-295-7171 to book. See you soon ☺️

Notice how her hair behaves after the Haircut right before the Wash & Go in this video!! 🤩

The only way to get rid of your split ends is to cut them where they start!

When you do this, you are stopping them from continuing to split up the hair shaft for a while. Procrastinating on your haircuts just means more split ends in the long run.

If you decide to do this pleaaassee don't be surprised if you have to get more cut than you want. If you get a haircut on a regular basis (every 3 months on average) you'll not only notice that you won't get as much hair cut off but you'll also get lenght retention. So, don't be afraid to cut those ends! Your curls will thank you, I promise ☺️

We’re currently booking for June to August! You can book online in the link in my bio or call 929-295-7171. If there aren't any availabilities showing up when you try to book online, add yourself to the waitlist for all of the days that you're available to come in and I'll see what I can do. If we can take you, I'll text you or you will receive a notification. You can also book your Consultations, Treatments and Hairstyles with weena_hairsalon.

She wanted a whole new look so we went lighter! She had gotten a Haircut recently a couple weeks prior ❤️

Trust that we see all the inquiries for appointments! Currently I’m the only one doing Haircuts and Haircolor services (besides Demo Sundays) so those appointments book very quickly. We will have a huge celebration when I’m not the only one doing Haircuts 😂

You can now book the New Client Package online only so please consider booking the Hairstyle with weena_hairsalon and the Haircut with me to get an appointment sooner.
For any other service, call 929-295-7171 to book or book online in the link in bio, we’re currently booking for June, July and August! 2021-06-03 00:09:50 She wanted a.. 350 -89% 15 -68%
It’s really the actual Haircut that makes a difference in how your hair looks overall, not the style!😩

We love giving tips and tricks on how to take better care pf your natural hair at home! I may get busy quickly but my team weena_hairsalon is available to help you too!

Quick tip: If you can’t pass a brush/comb through a section of your hair from root to tip without stopping, it’s either not detangled enough or you’re due for a Haircut!

We’re currently booking for June! You can book online in the link in my bio. If there aren't any availabilities showing up when you try to book online, add yourself to the waitlist for all of the days that you're available to come in and I'll see what I can do. If we can take you, I'll text you or you will receive a notification. Also consider booking your Haircut with me and the Style and/or Treatment with a member of my team to get an appointment sooner instead of waiting for a New Client service to become available.

You can also help out our team who is in training by booking an appointment at a model fee on Sundays! These appointments can also be booked online and we're currently working on Haircuts, Single Process Color, Blow Outs and Twists. Those appointments are open to New & Existing Clients.

In the meantime you can book a Consultation, Treatment and Hairstyle (Silk Press, Twists, Cornrows, etc) with weena_hairsalon! And yes we’re also already fully booked in May for Demo Sundays 😅 See you soon! 2021-05-11 22:18:07 I don’t have a.. 422 -86% 8 -83%
