About Born Blonde-A Curly Hair Salon

Retail Products

I proudly use and retail Inner Sense Organic Beauty and Long Hair Don't Care (when I can get it) at Born Blonde-A Curly Hair Salon. I test every product on my own curly hair before I offer it to my curly and straight hair clients. If I won't use it on my hair, I won't use it on yours!

Color Line

Joico is my color line of choice. It leaves the hair healthy and shiny without silicones, which makes curly and straight hair happy.

I add Olaplex to each of my hair color services. Olaplex is a patented bond rebuilder and is the only thing of it's kind on the market. There are lots of copy cats, but only one Olaplex. I use it because it improves the integrity of the hair and who isn't a fan of that?!

Experience

I love hair...I especially love curly hair and the people who wear it! I spend about $5,000 each year on training and advanced education, because I'm not growing and improving if I'm not learning. I am a certified haircutter and educator for the patented Head Shape Matters system as well as an American Board Certified Hair Colorist. I have studied with Scott Musgrave of Curly Hair Artistry and Melanie Nickels at the Raw Curls Academy in Naples, Florida. I am a Level 1 Deva Inspired and a Level 2 Deva Advanced Curl Specialist. Additionally, I am skilled in Pintura and Sunlights Balayage techniques.

Jo Behrens

Thank you for stopping by! I am a Colorado Native and fellow curly girl. I've spent most of my adult life fighting my frizz and frying my hair with a variety of flat irons, curling irons and blow dryers. There really is a better way! Our dry climate presents unique challenges, which is one of the reasons I decided to specialize in curly and wavy hair. I have been trained to cut and color hair using a variety of techniques including Head Shape Matters, Raw Curls, Curly Hair Artistry, Deva, Pintura and Sunlights Balayage; Additionally, I am an American Board Certified Haircolorist. I enjoy learning new techniques and sharing them with my clients. My hope is together we can find solutions to your hair challenges so you can love your curls, rather than viewing them as something to be managed or fixed. Where there is frizz, there is curl...I'd love to help you find yours!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my hair have to be clean and styled when I come in?

I perform all of my cuts on dry hair. Whether you have straight or curly hair, it is important for me to see how your hair lives on your head. Growth patterns and problems areas will jump out at me allowing me to suggest solutions. Pony tails crease the hair and when the hair is dirty it doesn't behave the same as it does when it is clean. Trust me, it matters!

Why is my hair always frizzy?

Lack of proper hydration is the biggest reason hair is frizzy. Another culprit is silicone. Combine the two and you'll have a mess on your head, but don't worry its relatively easy to fix!

I have a cabinet full of products, will any of them work?

Maybe and maybe not. Feel free to bring your products in so we can read the labels together and I can help you learn what to be on the lookout for. Typically, a curly girl only needs four products and two of those are the cleanser and hydrator. If you can only invest in one great product, invest in a conditioner.

Why does a curly cut cost so much?

The quick answer is because it takes longer to cut and style. The indepth answer is because it has been a large financial investment on my part to learn and specialize in this craft. In 2019 alone I have invested over $6,000 in curly hair classes. Almost all of my training has taken place out of state. The bottom line is, the more I learn the more information I can pass along to you! Win-Win in my opinion!

How often does my hair need to be cut?

This varies by client, but typically once the shape you desire is achieved I will only need to see you about twice each year. The factors that increase or decrease the time between visits depend a lot on you. Great products and effective routines are essential. I can coach you in both of those areas!

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations accepted up to 24 hours before the scheduled service, but 48 hours is preferred so I may offer your spot to a person on the waiting list. Cancellations occurring within 24 hours of the service, will be charged 50% of the scheduled cost the first time and 100% thereafter. I will show grace where possible, but please remember this is my livelihood when asking for exceptions.
