I had straight hair until I hit puberty, and since then it's been a frizzy, matted mess. Until very recently I had to flat iron my hair every day to get it into some semblance of its former straightness, and I never, ever found a hairdresser who could do anything for me. Then a couple of months ago I began searching for a stylist who knows curls, and after much review reading I finally found one hairdresser in all of Ottawa, for whom no one had a bad word to say.

Rene at Boss Arts has curly hair herself, and knows just how difficult it can be to take care of, especially if your hair has been damaged by stylists who only know how to cut straight hair. She gave me good advice about styling, and I was able to walk out of the salon without feeling self conscious about my curls, literally for the first time ever. This Aveda salon is very classy and welcoming - the staff serve you complimentary drinks while you wait your turn. The price was a little steep for my budget, but for such good quality it was reasonable.

It's been a few weeks since I got my hair done, and I still love it. I would definitely recommend Boss Arts to anyone who, like me, needs to tame their curls.
