Certified Deva Curl Stylist

To become a certified deva stylist. You had to attended three classes in the New York salon. It was a total of about six days where you learned specific curly cutting techniques. There was also education on color techniques and hair care products. The final day of the third class we were tested by the instructors and had to perform haircut and color service. I passed the third class and at that time I was one of three people in the state of North Carolina to have the deva curl stylist certification.
