This year I became a certified Deva Stylist. I've been a hairstylist for some time. When I think that nothing more can be done...I hear about the Deva technique.

Their system is very unique. It's the highest consentration of botanically infused products out there and they do NOT use a comb when cutting the hair. Which makes sense. If you wear you hair curly all the time, why stretch out the curl? It just creates more frizz. There is absolutely no sulfates in their cleansing/conditiong agents. NONE! Cleansing is done with the product + friction. Sound crazy? Well maybe...all the curly girls and guys need to retrain the way they take care of their hair. The no sulfates plus botanical infusion creates moisture moisture moisture. Which equals NO FRIZZ. Go figure!

Deva is a whole new concept of soft natural curls.

I have wavy hair and notice a huge difference in moisture and anti frizz.


Capella Salon has the highest amount of certified Deva stylists in LA.

This was a 100 minute fashion show modeling original garments worn by great hollywood actresses like Bettie Davis and Norma Sheaer just to name a couple. Each model had such elegance and charisma gliding across the stage channeling old hollywood. The photo below is a quick shot just before curtain call of me and one of the models Tiba.
