The kitchen
Josette’s grandmother did every curl on the block in a Seventh Ward kitchen that smelled of rose oil.
Our story
How we got here
The people, the room and the promise behind every appointment.
Our story
A house in bloom
The apprentice
Josette swept that kitchen floor at eight and held her first comb at twelve.
The mansion
In 2012 she restored an 1880s Garden District house and painted the parlor black.
The candlelight
No overhead lights in the cutting rooms — candles and north windows only.
The second house
A sister salon opened in the Marigny in 2021 for evening and Sunday guests.
The bloom
Eight curl artists and one promise: curls are tended here, never tamed.
