Aeleise Jana

visual artist | tight curl educator |entreprenuer

In the face of pervasive insecurity marketing, I provide simplicity and empowerment to curly + natural hair folk and the stylists that work with them.

What you won't find over here is the imaginary curl alphabet, meal prepping for hair, low quality hair products, or 8 hour wash days.

I am one half of Black Girl Curls & Cut It Kinky, mom to a few small people, wife to superman, and a painter + collage artist in Fayetteville, GA.

Philosophy

I believe in The New Natural Hair Paradigm

  1. Rocking fabulous shapes over keeping length for the sake of length
  2. Creative permanent coloring on healthy hair over fear of color damage
  3. Freedom hair over continuous protective styling
  4. Fact based knowledge of your unique natural hair over unscientific advice and fads

Why Curls?

 

In 2009 I was an Arts Administrator going through the throes of the Great Recession. Seeking new opportunities, I decided to put my Aveda Institute training and cosmetology license to use. My styling career began as a general natural stylist in 2010.  Women all around me were craving accurate information that would simplify and polish their natural hair.

My initial specialty was banging twisted updo’s and twist outs. After witnessing Lorraine Massey make magic with looser curls I was committed to bringing the ease of fly cuts and #washandgo hair to the Black women I served on the Southside of Chicago. The rest is literally history

CLIENTS

Thank you for your interest in having me care for your natural hair. After 11+ years behind the chair I have transitioned into being an educator +mentor for licensed cosmetologists. My mission is to teach the art, science, and business of tight curly hair.

I do not carry a regular appointment scheduling business. I am a project based stylist and cosmetology educator in forever search of both class models and specific tight curly hairier projects.

Existing Atlanta clients (already seen between 2019-now) will have priority for these opportunities and any random salon days that may occur.

To be notified of cutting/color/ styling model opportunities please join the email list below.

Testimonials

"I had a great salon experience. I learned so much about my hair and I feel more confident about how to take care of my curls.."

— Leslie L.
 

"I am a believer after having 2 sessions with Aeleise I was a wash no-go, 1 day twist out girl but now I've got a fresh cut and curls."

— Veronica T.
 

"I soooooo appreciate y’all. I thought I was a “bad natural” because I wasn’t putting olive oil and other foods in my hair. It just didn’t seem right! Now that @hairloveart (Aeleise) has hooked me up with a nice cut and shape with knowledge of products for my hair, I can rock my W&G for 8 days at least maybe more"

— Monica G.
 

"It was a wonderful experience. Aeleise was welcoming, informative, and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Aeleise for helping me better understand my natural hair!"

— Jameila S.

"I’m so glad I found you! I might be out here following silly YouTube videos and slapping coconut oil on my hair 😂 You’re the best 😘!"

— Felicia B.

“I love my hair because it’s a reflection of my soul. It’s dense, it’s kinky, it’s soft, it’s textured, it’s difficult, it’s easy and it’s fun. That’s why I love my hair.”
