Transformation: Curly Chic

If you’ve seen Joie Wallace‘s (@joiewallacehair) work, you know her curly hair makeovers are FIRE, and we are loving this recent transformation that involved a new color, a classic finger wave technique and 15 inches…gone!

 

Joie’s client came in with breakage and knotting from unkempt extensions. “She was extremely depressed,” shares Joie. “And I told her that if she trusted my vision, we could give her an amazing new look.” Amazing new look ACHIEVED. Here’s how Joie did it.
