I have extremely curly hair and after years of relaxers and blow drying I finally decided to try the "Curly Girl routine". I also decided to go to a trained "Deva cut specialist" and it did make all the difference in my hair. Diane will listen to what you want and she will also look at photos you bring for reference and take note. She spent over an hour just listening and cutting and constantly showed me the side and back of my hair (a problem area for me) to get my approval. She cuts less and then asks if you'd like more shaping, cutting, etc. I would highly recommend her for anyone who truly wants to embrace their curls and wear it in the most flattering style to them, and being she herself has curly hair she is very familiar with the routine of caring for it and wears it that way herself.

This write up for Diane is way overdue. I saw her a year ago for a Deva cut (Nov 2011). I was a bit apprehensive because I wasn't sure if she knew how to treat Ethnic hair. Well she proved me wrong, she truly specializes in curly hair regardless of your nationality/race. Before getting my hair cut, she invited me to an event that she was hosting at the salon. The event was focused on hair care for curly girls and how to incorporate Deva products into your hair care routine. After the event she gave each of the women that attended a small gift (hair clips & microfiber towel), there was also a raffle in which one woman won a Deva gift bag with tons of goodies. I was impressed with her knowledge of curly hair. The next day I came in for my hair cut (LOVED IT) and I bought products which she gave me 25% off. I followed her hair care tips and my hair began to grow like it never has since becoming chemical free. The picture in my profile was a month after the hair cut. (Yelp.com)

I went for my first DevaCut with Diane at Tagi and was not disappointed! After living in fear of hair stylists my whole life, I FINALLY left a salon feeling great about my hair. My appointment with Diane was not just a cut, but also an education. She spent time examining my hair and listening to my needs and difficulties. She recommended appropriate products, showed me how to use them, and gave me tips for my weekly hair routine. At the end of the dry cut, my hair had never looked better. Now, a few weeks later, I can say that the DevaCurl products have changed my hair for the better. The 3-step process was much easier to integrate into my routine than I expected and the results have been healthier, shinier, softer, and curlier hair. Amazingly, I have not had a bad hair day since! I recommend every curly girl out there explore the DevaCurls cut and method and find a stylist who understands how to work with curls. I found mine – I will definitely be going back to Diane!

Tagi's is an awesome salon! I loved the cut and style I received from curly stylist Diane B. She was extremely knowledgeable on textured hair and made sure changes she may have wanted to make were comfortable with me and made sense for my lifestyle. If you have curly hair and live in the DMV i highly recommend Diane, she's the best ever! (Facebook.com)

Diane is FABULOUS!! She did such an amazing job on my hair. I feel so sassy and beautiful! And I have even been able to replicate the way she styled my hair on my own. And for someone who has had the same hairstyle for the past 15+ years thats a big deal! She really listened and took the time to teach me about my hair and how to use the Deva Care products and gave me some really great advise about haircare. My 5 year old daughter has an appointment next week and has been counting down the days until she gets to go see Ms.Diane for her deva cut. (Naturallycurly.com)

Although at the time I felt like she didn't really do all that much, the fact that my mother has not stopped raving about my haircut and how much better she likes the way my hair falls now tells me that sometimes little things do make a big difference ;) In addition to the compliments-from-my-mother worthy cut, Diane really gave me some great, great tips about how to care for my hair. She asked lots of questions about my routine (which was pretty haphazard, actually) and offered me a ton of good advice. I know her advice was good because my hair certainly looks and feels much healthier since I started following it! I also appreciated that she wasn't at all pushy about products. PS – Remember to bring cash for tips! Tagi had to run a separate transaction for me to put it on a card, which they ordinarily don't do, I was told. (Naturallycurly.com)

Diane, thank u so much for the complement. I'm glad I found CHA [Curly Hair Artistry] as well. The passion I have to teach women of color how to embrace their curls or kinks drives me to read and study to learn. Perhaps one day I'll be able to help educate other ethnic backgrounds like you. I'm in awe of how you crossed the ethnic barrier lines to assist the curlies of different backgrounds. Totally awesome!! Do the CHA ever offer classes for clients? If so,I would love to attend. Well I've rambled enough for tonight. I'll send the PIC tomorrow. (Personal review)
