Owner, Curly Hair Master Stylist

Annette Norwood

Annette began her career in 1991 as a regular stylist, but found her passion after attending her first DevaCurl class in 2008. After training with Lorraine Massey (owner and founder of DevaCurl and The Curly Girl Method) along with Dennis DeSilva (also a founder of DevaCurl), she soon became a master curly hair specialist. She opened her own salon with her focus exclusively on curly hair.

Annette soon realized there needed to be a safe and understanding place for curly hair clients to come and be heard and have their curls thrive.

Annette is now the creator of her own method called The Forma Cut™ which allows all curls to live and connect in a shape that best compliments your hair. She sees curly hair clients from around the world.
