The Curl Sanctuary

As a father, I had always been accustomed to simple hair care routines, but my daughter's curly hair was uncharted territory. I tried to brush it as I used to do with mine, but that only resulted in frizz and tangles. The products I used before didn't work for her hair, and soon I realized I was making mistakes that were making her feel uncomfortable and insecure about her appearance.

I was concerned that my lack of experience might damage her self-esteem and make her feel negatively different. That's when I decided I needed to learn to care for and love her curls as they deserved. I researched online, sought advice from other parents, tried plenty of products, and realized I was not alone on this journey.

If you've ever struggled with caring for and styling your daughter's curly hair, "The Curl Sanctuary" and their stylist Joelis are the answer you've been searching for. After years of battling with my daughter's curly hair and trying a variety of products and techniques without success, we finally found our refuge at this salon.

Joelis is not only a talented stylist but also a true curly hair expert. From the first consultation, she took the time to teach us to understand and embrace my daughter's curls. She explained in detail the right products for her hair type and gave us practical advice on how to care for them at home.

The experience at "The Curl Sanctuary" is very welcoming and educational. The salon's atmosphere is relaxing, and Joelis's passion for her work shines through in every recommendation she offers. My daughter now feels more confident and happy with her curly hair, and I am grateful to have found this wonderful place.

If you have a child with curly hair and are looking for the perfect place to care for it and learn how to do so at home, don't hesitate to visit "The Curl Sanctuary." I can't recommend it enough. Thank you, Joelis, for making a difference in our lives."

Today was my first appointment with the curl sanctuary and I was hoping when I went in that I would be able to walk out with a style that helped my hair's shape and volume, as well as hopefully being a bit easier for me to deal with. What I was not expecting was that I would receive education that I wish my younger self would have had access to. My hair has been a constant struggle for me ever since I was a little girl. I never knew how to handle it and neither did my parents, and so most of my life has been spent damaging my hair with straightening irons and wishing that there was a better way. Britney at the curl sanctuary gave me information that I have never heard before about how to correctly care for and style my individual and unique kind of hair. I not only felt beautiful when I walked out of the door, I also felt empowered. This is truly women helping women.

This was our first visit to Curl Sanctuary as we moved to the area just a few months ago. Joelis did a phenomenal job with my teenage daughter's hair. She educated my daughter on how to care for her hair and what products to use. My daughter's haircut was fantastic. It looked so much bouncier and she said it felt lighter in comparison to before. We were very satisfied with her service. 100% recommend her!

Im a senior in high school and I have been struggling with my hair for about a year due to a haircut done by a hairstylist that didn’t have the proper knowledge on how to cut curly hair. I have been to embarrassed of my hair to go to school because of how horribly my hair was cut and was at risk of not graduating. After trying numerous stylist in the past year and still not loving my hair, I decided to research curly hair salons. I had never heard of a curly hair salon so I didn’t have much hope in finding one. That’s when I came across The Curl Sanctuary. With having hair cut trauma I just wanted to walk in and talk to someone to see what they could do to help. I was very anxious but instantly felt relaxed when I walked in. I was instantly met with the most beautiful collection of plants that really made the atmosphere not only welcoming but also whimsical. i talked to a very sweet stylist (Kathiuska) that knew exactly what i wanted with my hair. I never felt so assured that someone knew how to cut my hair so I booked an appointment with her, and it was the best decision I have ever made. She first started with a dry cut to accentuate each and every individual curl. After my dry cut, I was taken to the wash bowl, where I got a detox shampoo, deep conditioning hair mask, and a relaxing scalp steam, that smelled of lavender. While my hair was wet, she did some extra pieces that were missed in the dry cut to really make sure I was happy with my hair. After she began the styling process and taught me every step of the way of what she was doing. I was also informed on proper hair products for my specific curl type because the ones I were using were to heavy for my hair. Kathiuska didn’t let me see my hair till she was finished, to be surprised of course, and let me tell you I was shocked. When I saw myself in the mirror, I had to fight back tears because I never had a haircut that I have actually loved. If you have curly hair and have been looking for a place to get a proper hair cut and knowledge on how to care and style your curls, i highly recommend booking an appointment.

All local curly girls!!!!! You MUST make your hair appointment with The Curl Sanctuary - Melbourne FL the experience was Phenomenal! Richard was Professional, Personable,fun and educational. He took his time to explain everything he was doing and why, what works for my curls and what doesn’t and why. My curls never looked or felt this good! So happy 😁

First time at Curl & Ivy in Rockledge with Alexandra and it was amazing. I can’t express my gratitude enough for her thoroughness and knowledge. She took the time to learn more about me and my current curl routine. She not only brought my curls back to life, she also gave me the knowledge and tools necessary to keep my curls looking amazing. The whole experience was top notch and nothing like I’ve had before. If you have curly hair and you want to bring them back to life don’t hesitate to book an appointment. FYI, I’m using my husbands account to post this review :)

Absolutely amazing experience with Nicole. It was not only an amazing experience but an educational one. She was extremely knowledgeable and showed step by step the techniques and process to achieve beautiful looking curls!

Extremely well lit, clean, comfortable. Excellent air flow that makes the space very comfortable. Stylists who know their business and cut both my Wife and our Daughter's hair in 3 hours.

I cannot recommend Alex enough. She's the best and can do any hair of any kind, and always delivers a superior experience.

Joelis was very nice and helpful. Giving me tips and telling me how to do my curly hair. I got my first ever curly cut with her and she worked with my needs and wants. I will continue my curly hair journey with her! Great overall experience and the salon itself is very chill and relaxing and the rest of the staff are very nice and welcoming.

We had an amazing experience with Joelis at The Curl Sanctuary! She did my three year old daughter’s hair and was so amazing keeping my daughter calm. Towards the end, my daughter started getting fussy and Joelis redirected her beautifully so we were able to avoid any tears. Joelis explained and demonstrated everything so well. My daughter’s hair turn out wonderful! The salon was also beautiful, airy and such a calm space. They even accommodated my mother attending the appointment with us. Overall we loved our experience!

This was my first visit with Ricci. I have been educating myself and have experimented with the right products, but the lack of practical knowledge and techniques never gave me the best hair results. I came in with a lot of questions but unsure how to ask. Ricci made me very comfortable with initial interactions and I was able to ask him some very basic hair care questions and he provided me with easy to understand and follow on my own guidelines for everything involving my overall hair care and styling. He was communicating and explaining every step throughout the appointment and what I could change to achieve different results. Thank you so much, Richi, for this great experience!

Lisa has been my girl for 2 years but it feels like forever! She has worked with me and helped me to regain curls my younger self has only dreamed to see, she gives amazing education and advice for how to take care of your hair and maintain it! Curly hair is hard work and needs lots of love and she’s shown me how to do that as well as helping me with any hair color I’ve asked for! And not hurt my curls. She’s amazing and lovely and I will basically see her doing my hair till I’m old and gray! Book with her now!!!-❤

Lisa is amazing! Had a curly hair cut, color and style today after 2 years of completely ignoring my hair and it was the best experience I could have hoped for!

Lisa is knowledgeable, fun and so incredibly talented!

Thank you for bringing my dull,dead hair back to life!

I’m literally writing this in my car at the salon’s parking lot, I couldn’t wait to tell how AMAZING my experience was! Devon performed an extremely beautiful haircut, I’m so glad I listened to her suggestions. After the hair treatments and styling my hair felt more alive than it had been in years! My curls are clamped the way I’ve been trying to for months! The tips she gave me I’m going to take to heart! I wish I knew about this place before moving 🥲 It’s also the first time I go to a hair salon that is gratuity free which took me by surprise and that they also take “education,” as their instagram bio says, pretty seriously, I know a lot more about my hair now! Overall, if I could give more stars I would!

Joelis was amazing, she gave me a wonderful experience. She helped me finally get rid of the straight ends from chemically straightening my hair so long. It was both a relaxing and teaching experience, so I know exactly how to take care of it. It's 100% worth it to take a road trip here just to get this experience.

I went and saw Joelis for my first curly hair cut experience! Oh my gosh I wish I would’ve done this forever ago!!! I cannot believe how my curls look now and how soft and bouncy they are! My haircut is perfect and she took her time educating and showing me what products to use and how to use them. Thank you so much Joelis!

I just moved to the area from out of state and was desperate to find a hair stylist who knows curls! I found The Curl Sanctuary and Joelis’ work stood out to me. I can honestly say it was the best experience I’ve ever had at a hair salon! Not only did Joelis achieve my DREAM hair but she taught me throughout the whole experience on how to maintain and take care of my curls at home. The atmosphere in the salon was friendly and welcoming, and I’m so thankful to have found them! 1000/10 I could not recommend Joelis at The Curl Sanctuary enough!!!

Amazing! Kati is wonderful she did amazing with my daughters hair and my hair.

I had a dry cut with Marlon today, and I am wondering why I haven’t done this sooner! Ok I know why, because it’s pricey, and times have been tough! I decided to splurge on myself and let me tell you it’s 100% worth it. If you struggle with your curls definitely do the curly experience and let them school you on products and technique, it is very much worth it! I had the experience with Ricci and it changed my ways for the better. Also, keep in mind the tip is included in the price, so the pricing is out the door and their skills are well worth the $$$ I can’t say enough good things about these guys, just do yourself the favor and treat yourself!

Great atmosphere, Great service, and an incredible overall experience. It's been years since getting my haircut and I had no clue what I wanted. My stylist Devon helped walk me through the styling process, and I ended up with exactly the kind of hair I had pictured in my head. The products left my hair feeling soft and looking shiny, truly everything about here was amazing! If you are looking for a new stylists, this is the place to book. Devon was an incredible stylist who helped bring my curls back from the dead, and she helped me understand how she did it throughout the process.
