We had the good fortune of connecting with Helen Curry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Helen, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
The beauty industry is always evolving. In order to sustain and be successful it is a must that you take the time to seek continuing education. It’s essential to stay up to speed with trends, technique, etc. It takes a lot of self awareness and dedication to have longevity in this industry regardless of the role you decide to take on.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I specialize in natural hair care, I pride myself in being able to protect the integrity of the hair while also providing fun and trendy looks for the curly, kinky and coily girls and guys. I’m excited to be celebrating 3 years of opening my salon suite this past August. It’s been a journey getting to where I am today, and still is one. I am grateful for my support system being a helping hand and a shoulder to lean on even in times I didn’t believe in myself. Nothing in life comes easy and there are always challenges, one way to defeat those challenges is to change your mindset. Your mindset will literally make or break you. I’ve learned to bet on myself EVERY time, DO IT SCARED, and trust yourself. My goal is to make healthy hair a priority again all while providing a luxury salon experience.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
As a foodie I would definitely make FOOD a priority. Visit all the brunch spots, Scrambled Egg, Awake, Snooze A.M eatery . Bowling and games at Strike + Reel in Garland. Shopping is always a vibe, so shops of legacy, Northpark mall and Allen outlet mall. Uptown and downtown for more things to do like Perot museum, JFK scene and Klyde Warren Park.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Tamara *@TheHairSpade* Helissa, Mom, Charles, my wonderful and trustworthy clients and my friends that always find a way to support me in my business! *Derrick, Alexis,*
