It’s not just a buzz word or marketing tactic. It holds true meaning for us. So this is what we mean when we say Organic or Clean:
Organic
Organic products are products that can only be deemed Organic if they meet the USDA’s requirements comprised of 70% or more organic material. Certified Organic being comprised of 95% or more organic material.

Meet the Woman behind The Curl Cove
My name is Chianna Gambino. I’m a Curl Specialist in Syracuse, NY with a passion for clean beauty. After working for Devacurl / Devachan Salons in NYC, I recognized the need for a clean beauty hub for curly haired individuals.
The entire purpose of relocating to NYC was to challenge myself professionally. I had the fortunate experience of also working for Nadia Vassell Salon, Drybar, and LifeSpa to name a few. I studied, I watched, I listened, and I learned. I became aware of the deficits within the curly community and recognized where I could meet those needs for every client I met. As a professional, I made it my mission to be able to work with any hair type and identify core conditions commonly ailing curly haired individuals.
I witnessed one of the biggest scandals within the natural hair community unravel before my eyes and how it ravaged through people’s trust by some of the most well-known brands in the industry. Repeatedly we see and hear stories of those who go through the unfortunate experience of using a product turned toxic. Hair loss, skin issues, Hormone disruption and so much more. I sat by helplessly and constantly wondered how I could aid a community I’ve become so heavily immersed in. The concept of The Curl Cove came to me abruptly one night in a dream and that is how this company was born.
My entire goal for The Curl Cove is to provide the community with options of clean/ organic products you can trust, without compromising your autonomy. If this mission resonates with you, I can’t wait to see you in the salon and I appreciate all the support!
