Erik Emblen of Curl Culture

Curly hair my entire life. I’ve had fabulous stylist over the years that are truly trained in cutting curly hair. My opinion Erik is a fraud and has not idea how to cut curly hair. Tells a good story, great marketing, but I would never recommend him to cut curly hair. He promotes/​markets Diva products and I’m sure gets a kick back but that’s about as far as his experience goes with curly hair

30 years of cutting my own hair and it began to fall out like crazy not to mention I got tired of the dreaded pony-​tail. Looking online, at Unilocal,Curl Culture and Diva Curl, and reading blogs I found Eric Emblen. Can I just say he is awesome? He is a true curl architect.
Eric listened to my concerns, took his time with me in the consultation, continued to ask me throughout the entire process if I had any questions or concerns and can I say he took his time and didn’t rush the process.
I gave him carte blanche with my hair, because I let it go so long I relied on his experience. He cut my hair according to my curl type (Botticelli) and then worked with my natural part, and educated me on how to style my type of curls. He also offered advice on which products are best for my hair, and just as importantly what not to do anymore. Now my hair looks FULL! and Healthy and flippin sassy, takes half the time and struggle and the compliments are pouring in. I wish I did this cut sooner! Trust Eric, he has the education and experience that a curly girl (or guy) needs.

Amazing! I have never had anyone understand my hair type like Erik. Not just the cut but the color, the tips on styling, the education on why my hair is the way it is. I am a client for life! If you have curly hair, Erik is your guy!

Erik is the King of Curls! I travel from Chicago to receive the latest in curly techniques. Quidad pronounced (Wee Dod) is Erik’s latest training with his magic scissors. I have hair like I always wanted… ringlets with definition but not dry… Thanks Erik! Stacey

I can’t tell you how happy I am to have finally found a FANTASTIC stylist! Like many curly hair ladies, most stylists never treated my hair differently than straight hair, wetting it to cut it, then drying it into a frizzy non-​curly mess. Well no more! Erik is a true studied specialists and only works w fabulous curly heads, so he knows how to cut, shape and style your hair into glorious full shiny curls and waves. Plus he is takes his artist background and does wonderful balayage highlights, which are wonderfully natural and non-​streaky. If you even have one small doubt about your current stylist and wonder if your curly hair could look better, see Erik! You won’t be disappointed!

Erik is amazing! I found him because I loved my yoga instructor’s haircut so I decided to give Erik a try. I have had curly cuts from 5 other curly stylists and Erik has given me my best cuts. My friend liked my haircut from Erik so she gave him a try and said it’s the best haircut she has ever had. If you want a great curly cut, I highly recommend Erik.

Erik is a true artist! My hair has never looked better nor have I ever received so many compliments. It is a joy to have Erik do my curly hair (cut and color). He is a professional in every sense and I am a client for life!
