The Curl Confidence Method

For years, stylists have admitted they feel unprepared, under-trained and nervous about working with textured hair. The fear of saying the wrong thing. The fear of cutting the wrong way. The fear of offending. And in that silence, clients with curls have been overlooked, frustrated, and left feeling like their hair doesn’t belong in the salon chair.

Multi-award-winning stylist and educator Emma Jarvis, founder of THB Academy has trained over 60 stylists in curl education through her Curly Craft Masterclass, built a thriving curl service inside her own award-winning salon, and listened to countless stylists confess they “avoid curls” because of fear.

It was clear the industry didn’t need another one-day course. It needed a framework. And so, The Curl Confidence Method™ – See It. Speak It. Shape It. Support It.™ was created.

The Curl Confidence Method™ is different. It is a protected, trademarked education framework that provides certainty and clarity across four key pillars:

SEE IT™ – Recognising curl patterns, density, porosity and behaviour with absolute confidence — no more guesswork.

SPEAK IT™ – The consultation language that removes fear of saying the wrong thing and builds instant trust with clients who often arrive nervous from past salon experiences.

SHAPE IT™ – A repeatable, structured cutting approach that delivers predictable, lasting results every time.

SUPPORT IT™ – Ongoing support from Emma, ready-to-use resources, and marketing strategies that give stylists confidence to run and grow curly services in their business.

“This isn’t just a course. This is the framework I wish I’d had 25 years ago, when curls weren’t being spoken about and stylists like me were left to guess. The industry needs more than a class — it needs a method that removes fear and gives confidence. The Curl Confidence Method™ is that method. It’s clarity. It’s certainty. It’s the answer the industry has been waiting for,” – Emma.

Hybrid Education for Real-World Results

• Online foundations build knowledge and consultation confidence before stylists even step into the classroom.
• In-person training (Curly Craft Masterclass) delivers the live, hands-on experience of SHAPE IT™ with Emma guiding, correcting, and building certainty in real time.
• Ongoing online support keeps stylists progressing afterwards, with resources, automation tools and marketing strategies they can apply immediately in their salon.

Stylists also gain access to a private community space, off social media. Here, they can ask questions, share wins, and grow in a safe and supportive environment — without the noise, comparison and overwhelm of online platforms. Social media can then be used as a tool to enhance their services, not drown them out.
