Celebrating Textured Hair at Makeover Salon, Mickleover, Derby- Inclusive Curl Experts
Across the UK, there’s been a lot of talk in the hair industry about curly and Afro hair and the lack of salons offering these services. The reality is a knowledge gap. Many salons simply aren’t trained to look after curls, coils or Afro textures, which can leave clients feeling excluded or even turned away.
At Makeover Salon in Mickleover, Derby, we decided long ago that wasn’t good enough.
Why Inclusivity Matters to Us
As the owner of Makeover Salon, my love for textured hair is deeply personal. I have two beautiful daughters with mixed-textured hair. The thought of them ever being turned away from a salon because their curls or Afro texture “doesn’t fit” was a big no-no for me.
From day one, our mission has been to create a safe, knowledgeable and welcoming space for all hair types so everyone can feel confident and celebrated.
