At Ouidad Salon_FL, the mood is set for individuals with naturally curly hair. Pendant lights and South American plants that accentuate the design both replicate the pattern of naturally curly hair, while the salon’s Learning Lounge offers an educational space where clients can learn how to care for their curls and other professions can get certified in Ouidad cutting and styling techniques.

Owner’s comment: “Our shampoo bowls are all adorned with Vitamin C purification nozzles which remove impurities and infuse anti-oxidants in to the water, while infusing the hair with Vitamin C. Two projectors in the shampoo/conditioning bar display an array of images or videos depending on the mood we want to set.”
