FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Curly Hair Artistry, an international online group of hair stylists, will gather for the first curly hair symposium October 19-21 in Atlanta. Besides advanced cutting techniques, these curly hair specialists will be educating their colleagues in unique product applications and business needs within their specific genre.

When Scott Musgrave started C.H.A. at the beginning of 2013 he had no idea it would have such appeal. Nearly 80 members speak throughout the day on their concerns and passion for their specialty.  “There is very little education on curly hair, so the encouragement to work through difficult situations, receive mentoring and guidance is what this group focuses on,” says Musgrave.

Yukiko Taylor, curl specialist at Perfect Image Spa-Lon in Tumwater, is one of the fortunate stylists participating in this year’s symposium. “My career has taken a turn towards curly hair,” claims Yukiko, “I am drawn to it and my desire is to reach out to Curlies and help them to embrace their hair! I get to love what I do as a job.”

As the fashion trend of straight hair moves toward a more natural look, there will be an increasing need for Curly Hair Specialists. Lorraine Massey, Curly Hair Expert and author of Curly Girl: The Handbook states “65% of women have naturally wavy or curly hair.” Curly Hair Artistry is on the forefront of this movement with the world’s first Curly Hair Symposium this fall.

Curly Hair Artistry was founded in January 2013. It represents a forum for the Curly Hair Specialist seeking deeper knowledge and support in their craft.
