Introducing our Curl Specialist | Natural Texture Expert
Welcome Francine!
We’re so excited to welcome Francine to the Turning Heads Hair Studio team. With 8+ years of experience and a true passion for natural texture, Francine specializes in curly haircuts and caring for wavy, curly, and coily hair. If you’ve been searching for a curly hair specialist in Calgary who listens, educates, and helps you love your natural hair, you’re going to feel right at home in her chair.
My Vision
I’m Francine — Brazilian, a mom, and a hairstylist.
My journey began in Brazil over 8 years ago, when I discovered my passion and true calling for this beautiful profession — one that lets us help people feel like the best versions of themselves.
A few years into my career, my love for curly, wavy, and coily hair really grew as more people started embracing their natural, real hair. That movement inspired me to specialize in curls and to keep learning and improving as a curly hair specialist.
To me, doing hair goes far beyond creating a result that looks like a picture. It’s about caring, listening, serving, and truly connecting. I feel incredibly privileged because I’m absolutely certain I love what I do. Every client is important and special to me, and each one becomes part of my life. We share experiences and stories that I carry with me wherever I go.
Seeing the happiness and confidence in my clients at the end of each appointment brings me so much joy — and reassures me I’m on the right path.
Here, you’ll find a woman deeply passionate about natural hair — whether it’s straight, wavy, curly, or coily. I’m here to support and encourage you every step of the way as you embrace your natural hair and experience how beautiful (and liberating) it can be.
