Curly Hair Specialists in Tampa
Stephanie — Curly Hair Specialist | Se Habla Español
Originally from Connecticut, Stephanie traded cold winters for Florida sunshine and brought her passion for curly hair to Tampa. Fluent in both English and Spanish, she creates a welcoming consultation experience where clients can comfortably talk about their curls, hair goals, styling routine, and the challenges they experience at home.
​
As a curly hair specialist, Stephanie focuses on creating customized shapes that work with each client’s natural curl pattern, movement, density, and volume. Rather than using the same haircut for every curl type, she takes the time to understand how the hair naturally behaves and how the client prefers to wear it day to day.​

Client Experience
Curly hair often comes with a long history of trying different products, styling methods, and haircuts. Stephanie takes time to listen before she cuts, learning what you love about your curls, what frustrates you, and how much time you realistically want to spend styling your hair at home.
Her goal is to create curls that not only look beautiful when you leave Shampoo The Salon, but also feel manageable and achievable as part of your everyday routine.

Curly Hair Services at Shampoo The Salon
Our curly hair services are customized around your natural texture and how you prefer to wear your hair day to day.
Customized Curly Haircuts
Shape and layering are designed around your curl pattern, density, volume, and desired silhouette rather than using the same haircut on every client.
Curl Shaping & Definition
We focus on creating balance, movement, and definition while preserving the natural character of your curls.
Curly Hair Styling
Your stylist can help you develop a styling routine designed for your texture, including product application, drying techniques, and ways to reduce unwanted frizz.
Color for Curly Hair
Dimensional color, highlights, and customized color placement can be designed to enhance movement while considering the condition and integrity of curly hair.
Curl Care & Product Education
We help clients understand how hydration, product choice, styling techniques, and maintenance affect the way their curls behave between appointments.
We Work With a Range of Curl Patterns
Every curl pattern behaves differently, and your haircut should reflect that.
Our curly hair specialists work with a range of natural textures, including:
Wavy Hair
Loose bends and defined waves that benefit from shape, movement, and lightweight styling.
Loose & Medium Curls
Spiral and ringlet patterns that often benefit from strategic layering, hydration, and definition.
Tighter Curls & Textured Hair
Denser curl patterns that require thoughtful shaping, moisture, and careful attention to shrinkage and volume.
Your stylist will consider your individual curl pattern, density, porosity, growth patterns, and styling habits before recommending a cut or styling approach.
