About
I learned textured hair by starting with my own.
I’m Selina, a curl specialist focused on hair and scalp care, dry cutting, and teaching you what to do at home.
I’ve always loved my natural curls. But when I was 16, I went into a salon wanting something different and left with severely overprocessed hair, and the curls I loved were gone. I didn’t understand the process, the products, or the damage that could happen.
That experience made me want to learn everything I could. I started paying attention to ingredients, products, hair health, and what my curls actually needed. Caring for my own hair turned into something much bigger.
In 2017, I started working in a salon specializing in curly hair, where I kept learning and gaining experience before becoming a licensed cosmetologist. Those years showed me how often textured hair gets guessed at instead of truly looked at. So I kept training: different cutting methods, different textures, anything that made me better at reading hair instead of sorting it into a category.
I built Waves, Curls & Coils as a private, unhurried space for one guest at a time. I never want you sitting in my chair confused about what’s being done to your hair or why. Ask me anything. You leave with a shape that suits you and the knowledge to care for your curls long after your appointment. That’s always been the purpose behind what I do.
Because if there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s this: your hair was never the problem.
How I work
Curl type tells me almost nothing
Two people can have curls that look identical and need completely different things. Condition, density, porosity, buildup, what you’ve had done before, how much time you actually have in the morning. That’s what I’m reading when you’re in my chair, not a chart.
I want to teach you your hair.
Not make you dependent on me. If you can’t recreate it at home, I haven’t finished my job.
