We're not just doing hair...
We're building culture
Hair health comes first—but style is never second. Our services are designed to protect, enhance, and celebrate your texture. Founded by stylist and color expert Barri Gibson, The Curlective is a creative, collaborative salon space based in Bloomfield, NJ.
Why The Curlective?
Because your hair deserves more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
We Know Textured Hair
Our stylists are trained in natural, coily, curly, and loc’d hair types—with services designed for longevity and growth.
Hair Health is Non-Negotiable
From the first consultation to the final style, we prioritize scalp care, protective techniques, and ingredient-conscious products.
We’re a Creative Collective
This isn’t your average salon—it’s a collaborative space for hair artists to grow, share, and keep the culture alive.
Education is Key
We don’t gatekeep—we guide. Leave with great hair and the knowledge to maintain it at home.
Client Love
I’ve had a hard time finding a hair salon for my natural hair. I came across The Curlective on social media and booked instantly. Casey trimmed and coiled my hair. I am very pleased with the results.

Jada walked me through everything step by step. I especially appreciated the hair education Jada provided. She understands my hair goals and told me what products I should look into for my journey. Love love love!

Casey is so sweet and she did an AMAZING job on my hair. She listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable with what she was doing. She stays booked so you know she slays all heads she touches!
