More Than Curly Salon

Specialties

Named a 2015 Top 100 Salon in America by ELLE Magazine, More Than Curly Salon® is a Chemical Free Curly Concept Salon, that places hair health and education at the center of our services. We believe that the proper foundational haircut, and appropriate products are key to achieving and maintaining healthy, vibrant, and manageable Curls here in Colorado.

How do we do this?

(Curly Session) The haircutting method we provide for Curly hair is called the Ouidad Carve and Slice® and is performed by Ouidad® trained Curl Specialists.

Curly education, natural styling with product combinations are given during each visit, to teach clients how to maintain healthy hair at home in our Semi-​Arid Colorado climate. We believe so strongly in properly hydrating your curls, that FREE Deep Conditioning treatments are given to each client, each visit.

The Ouidad® product line, along with the Israel based Moroccanoil® line are the main products we use for services and are available for retail sale at the Salon. It’s been our experience that these product lines perform the best on Colorado Curly textures, given the many Colorado seasonal climate variations. (Anyone who has lived in Colorado long enough knows that it can snow in May, have humidity from 1% to 75%, or it can reach 75 degrees in January.)

The results from practicing this concept are beautiful, healthy, manageable curls, guaranteed.

History

Established in 2011.

More Than Curly Salon exists to provide excellent hair services, along with natural hair education, and provide quality haircare products for our semi arid climate, to anyone with any hair type who visits the Salon, with an emphasis placed on meeting the under-​served haircare needs of naturally curly textured clients.

More Than Curly Salon desires to be the «go to» salon in the Rocky Mountain Region, for anyone seeking Chemical Free Natural Haircare services, with the client feeling that their hair goal was met, or the journey towards their hair goal has begun, upon their departure from the Salon.

Owner and Lead Stylist Melissa Vaz, whose passion is curly hair, and curly husband Jason were given the Vision for creating MORE Than Curly Salon, out of the demand for qualified, professional services, required by naturally curly people living in the Denver Metro Area, with an emphasis placed on education for at home styling and care.

«When my clients leave MORE Than Curly Salon, I want them to feel loved! I do this by listening to my clients. Asking them: «What is your hair goal?» and giving them the education to achieve that goal. I want them to leave excited, comfortable, and ready to wear the beautiful curly hair God has given them!

My biggest inspiration is my beautiful husband and best friend who inspires me to be the woman that God has purposed me to be. My mother inspires me also, because she illustrated what hard working, sacrificial love looks like in a mother. I praise the Lord for both of them. My favorite thing about curls is how there are so many different types of curly hair. I get so excited when a client comes in not liking their curly hair, but loving their curly hair when they leave! They never knew they had such beautiful hair.

The words I live by are: «And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.» –Jesus–
