If you are one of those divas lucky enough to be born with curls you may not have always felt so blessed. Well ladies, Devachan Salon has come to LA from NY and they are devoted to enhancing the beauty of curly locks and lending the support you need to style at home so you can start loving your curls.  Devachan Salon LA is hosting its first-ever “Curls Night Out” with bloggers who love curls; curl experts, product demos, curl coaching, even a mini concert and a chance to win FREE salon services! Sounds like girls with curls have more fun!  

I always paid big bucks for perms to emulate the curly locks I didn’t have naturally. Many of us did. But for those who were born with curls it might be a different story.  Deva Curl is the power behind Devachan Salons and they believe curly hair is bold, natural, beautiful, and it’s their mission to celebrate unique curls. Curls are their passion and since 1991 Devachan Salon has been a source for curl confidence. So it’s time for tomatoes with curls to feel lucky and fabulous!
