Hair is worth saving.
Too many people are told the only answer to severe matting is the scissors. The Love 518 Method exists to prove otherwise — a patient, structured approach to detangling that protects the hair and the person attached to it.
Meet Hadassa
Hadassa is a first-generation Haitian American, born and raised in Miami, Florida. She specializes in Japanese hair straightening and offers natural hair care, hair extensions, bridal services, cuts and much more.
She has always had the gift of hairstyling — even as a child it came naturally. She spent years avoiding that gift, exploring other endeavors: law enforcement, the military, and entrepreneurship. She always found her way back to hair.
Hadassa was the star student in cosmetology school, earning awards and recognition for her outstanding work. Those accolades confirmed she should pursue styling full time. She went on to work in a luxury hair salon, sharpening her customer service and building her portfolio.
Today her detangling transformations have gone viral several times over, drawing national media coverage and clients who fly to Miami from around the world. The Love 518 Method turns that decade of experience into training other stylists can carry into their own chairs.
Cutting is the last resort
Matting that looks hopeless is usually workable with the right technique, product and time.
