I'm a holistic hair sculptor and Curly Hair Coach located in Portland Oregon. I specialize in effortless organic lived in looks, working with curly and wavy hairs natural movement. I'm a craft hairdresser with a focus on details. My Curlcraft method came about after years of struggles with my own hair and many disappointing haircuts. One day I began cutting intuitively after taking into consideration my hairs natural movement and I haven't stopped. Freehand sculpting along a person’s own curl pattern gives everyone their own unique look and a cut truly suited for them that will be easy to manage and look good, even the next day! This has all led me to my trademarked Curlcraft™ hair cutting method. The feedback from clients has been so amazing that I decided I needed to share this information with my fellow stylists.
I built a solid clientele there in less than 2 years using the trademarked Curlcraft cutting method along with the Ultimate Guest Experience. Curlcraft Education was created to help others overcome their struggles with curly hair. The concept is to help others who struggle by educating their hairdressers.
What makes me an expert, you ask? My first hand knowledge living with curly hair, years of problem solving, and many happy guests through out the years.
HERE's what my clients are saying about their Curlcraft™ experiences!
In these sessions, I will be coaching you and building your confidence in working with textures, helping you overcome your fears, or elevating your existing skills so you can grow your curly hair clientele.

I've worked with curly and wavy hair textures for over 30 years, which has led me down the path of teaching. Realizing that every day I am teaching clients EVERY step of dealing with their curls and waves in the salon, so why not teach others as well? That is how the Curlcrafting @Home eCourse + eBook came about. I'll walk you through washing, rinsing, build volume or collapse volume, product application, diffusing, styling tips, curls vs waves, airy vs defined, brushing, finishing, sleeping and next day refresh!

Great Investment in myself!
As a kinky curly girl, and a stylist I can not say enough about how wonderful this course was. Jo was very clear,, honest and personable in these lessons. I felt like she was in my living room. I’m totally inspired and ready to educate and give my clients that confidence they deserve. Thanks to Jo’s lesson I was able to apply those techniques to my own hair and have carved and styled my own locks. Thanks Jo! I got a lot more out of this on-line lesson than I expected.

This course makes me feel like an artist again.
I found the Curlcraft course to be so inspiring and very helpful. It was detail oriented and got so specific with different kinds of curly hair scenarios. She was so great at explaining the details of cutting and styling different types of curly hair. This coarse has made me feel like a true artist again. Thank you so much for creating a curly hair coarse that has exceeded all of my expectations.

The best hair education I've ever received
I've taken many courses, both in-person and online and none of them hold a candle to what I've learned from Jo and Curlcraft. Curly hair education is almost criminally lacking in the hairstylist world, and outside of (often misguided) YouTube, Instagram and TikTok "gurus," there are few offerings. To fill the void, Jo's course is succinct, thorough and holistic. She clearly and competently addresses every aspect of curly hair while still allowing space to allow us as artists to make our own decisions when tackling any project. I can't recommend this course enough. And Jo, thank you for all the effort you put in to the course, and by so helping the hair world. - Noah

Thanks to the Curlcraft course, I can now confidently cut & style curly hair!
Thanks to the Curlcraft course, I can confidently work on curly hair. The course is well organized. The lessons are subsumed under topic modules, making the information easier to understand and remember. The text (with diagrams) is easy to read. The videos are enjoyable: I felt as though I were hanging out with Jo in her salon studio, and she has a very relaxed demeanor. Her focus is on helping us give our clients sculpted styles that are easy to care for, so the method involves a lot of manipulation of the hair and communication with the client (checking in if they like what their hair is doing, explaining why I choose to cut this curl but not that one, etc.) This attention to the client helps build trust and makes for a more pleasant experience all around. (My understanding is many curly clients have felt in their past that haircuts have been done to them rather than for them.) I think all stylists can benefit from this course.
