Inspired by the diverse curl patterns within my own family, I developed a deep appreciation for textured hair and the importance of caring for it properly.

My personal curl journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I mostly wore protective styles, and by my teenage years, I began to distance myself from my natural hair. At the time, straight hair was the standard, so I relied heavily on heat and relaxers, leading to damage and breakage. When I finally decided to return to my natural texture, I had to relearn my hair from the ground up. Navigating multiple curl patterns and building a healthy routine wasn’t easy, but it ultimately transformed my relationship with my hair.

With a background in the medical field, I bring a health-first approach to hair care, which naturally led me to specialize in natural and textured hair. I believe healthy hair starts at the scalp, and I have a growing passion for scalp care and overall hair wellness as I continue my journey toward becoming a trichologist.

Recognizing the shortage of curl specialists, especially for communities where textured hair is the norm, solidified my commitment to this space. I focus on curl-specific cutting and styling designed to honor the integrity of your hair while helping you fully embrace your natural pattern.

I’m especially passionate about educating my clients, so you leave not only looking good, but confident in caring for your hair at home.

My goal is to help you understand your texture, not fight it, and to give you a look that feels authentic to you, rooted in both health and confidence.

I can’t wait to support you on your Curl Journey.

About the Internship:

Anytime a new stylist joins the Ambushed Team, they are required to go through our Curl Immersion Internship led by our Owner and Founder, Amy Bush. As an intern, they learn the unique curl techniques developed by Amy through her 30+ years of experience and education known as The 4 Pillars of ArchiTEXTURE. It is her way of teaching and certifying each stylist with all the skills and knowledge they need to succeed as a Curl Specialist. Knowledge of global textures, cutting techniques, coloring, styling, product usage and communication are just a few of the valuable skills they gain throughout this process. Without it, they would not be able to provide the customized services Ambushed is known for. While they are learning, interns provide services at a discounted rate. This is a great opportunity to support their learning!
