What is a Curl Clinic®?

Curl Clinics ® are a completely bespoke curl consultation service tailored to suit you and your hair. Suitable for all curl types, ages and genders. Specifically designed to suit your hair, budget, lifestyle, and any other requirements you may have.

FAQ’s

Who is a Curl Clinic Suitable for?

Curl Clinics are suitable for all curl types, ages and genders. Wavy, curly, coily, coloured and damaged.

What do I need for my Curl Clinic?

You need to have your hair down and dry, it doesn’t matter if it’s freshly washed or not. Whatever way you’d normally style it or how you’d typically wear it. And have all your products, brushes and tools to hand.

Do I need to take notes?

Only if you want to. You’ll receive a Curl Clinic Rx with all the details of your full routine and product recommendations, links and discount codes sent to you afterwards via email.

Can someone else join me if I have a disability?

Absolutely! I want you to feel as comfortable as possible so you can get the best out of the experience. I can send you a video and/or audio recording of your Curl Clinic via email if that helps.

Do I need to be following the Curly Girl Method?

No! I developed the Curl Maven Method, which focuses on the health of the hair and is much more suitable to all hair types – even straight!

How long is a Curl Clinic?

Curl Clinics are 30 minutes long, just the right amount of time to go through everything.

Is it in-person or online?

For now, Curl Clinics are a 30 minute video call online, via Zoom.

Can I do a joint Curl Clinic with a friend?

No. Curl Clinics are bespoke to each individual, specifically designed to suit each person’s hair goals, needs and other requirements they may have.

Do you do Curl Clinics for children?

Absolutely! Under 18’s need to have an adult present and the Curl Clinic Rx will be sent to the parent/guardian’s email.

Can I book a Curl Clinic for a friend?

Absolutely! What an amazing friend you are! Just use their name and email address when booking.

Yes! I tailor product recommendations to what’s available and in budget for each person’s country.

We’re in different time zones, can I still book?

Gabriella is a total expert when it comes to curls. If I have a question, her content is the first, and only, place I look!

To say Gabriella is a curl expert is an understatement. She is the Master! I have worked as a hairstylist for almost 20 years, and she blew me away with her knowledge.

My curls had gone limp and frizzy, until I stumbled onto the Curl Maven website and found a whole new way of managing my hair. A 1:1 Curl Clinic was the icing on the cake, I’ve never looked back!

Gabriella's knowledge of how to work with curly hair is exceptional. She's the first person I go to for help and advice in trying to manage the madness of my curls!

Curls can be a bit daunting & overwhelming, what I love about Gabriella is how there's a custom solution for everybody and it's accessible.

When Gabriella talks about curls, it’s revolutionary. She makes sense of every issue with such simplicity & expertise, it’s truly mind blowing.

Gabriella's knowledge is profound. You'll feel empowered after spending time with her, and get FANTASTIC results with your hair. I can't recommend her enough!

Meet Gabriella

If this is your first time here, welcome! My name is Gabriella, formerly known as Curly Cailín, now Curl Maven. You can read a little more about that here. I’ve had curly hair all my life. But I didn’t always love, embrace or know how to care for my curls.

I straightened, coloured and damaged my hair until I no longer recognised who was staring back at me in the mirror anymore. I’d lost my curls, and with it my identity and my confidence. It wasn’t until I became a mother, that I realised things needed to change. My young daughter, with her beautiful curls, wanted me to straighten them to look like me. What I was doing with my hair wasn’t in alignment with what I wanted to teach my daughter about hers.

So I started my healthy hair journey to get my curls, my identity and my confidence back. I started a blog and developed what’s now called the Curl Maven Method, very early on. Since then I’ve created a few products, done hundreds of Curl Clinics ® and millions of people have visited this site.

It’s such an honour and a privilege to be a part of so many people’s journeys, from all around the world. It’s not something I take for granted, but something I’m hugely passionate about and grateful I get to do this every day.

I’m so excited you found me, I hope you find my content helpful and that you find inspiration, confidence and empowerment on my site. I can’t wait to work with you!
