The Power in the Curl: Genesis on Identity, Texture & Finding Your True Self Behind the Chair

Published on: 18th June, 2025

She didn’t even know she had curly hair — until she stopped trying to hide it.

In this episode of Get in My Chair, I’m joined by Genesis, a proud Puerto Rican, curly hair specialist, and soulful stylist based in St. Cloud, FL.

Her story is full of heart, heritage, and healing. We talk about how she went from barely liking hair school to having that moment behind the chair where everything clicked — and she realized she was exactly where she was meant to be.

Inside this conversation:

  • 🌺 How straightening her hair hid more than just her curl pattern
  • ✨ The moment she decided to embrace her texture — and help others do the same
  • 💬 Why she remembers her clients' vacations and dogs more than their names (and why that matters more)
  • 🎨 The link between hair, identity, and personal freedom

Genesis isn’t just styling curls — she’s restoring them.

This is a conversation about culture, connection, and finding your truth through texture. If you’ve ever struggled to fully embrace yourself — this one’s for you.
