Welcome back to Curl Up and Read.

Our monthly dose of inspiration, beauty, and a little bit of everything

else we love. If you're here for great hair, don’t worry—we’ve got that

in spades. But this newsletter is also where we let our hair down

(pun 100% intended) and share some of the things that light us up

beyond the salon chair.

This month, our resident plant whisperer Katie is sharing a step-by-step

plant styling session (because “tutorial” sounds way too formal for her

magic), perfect for anyone looking to bring a little more green into

their life. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just trying to

keep a pothos alive, she’s got you. Sydney is also blessing us with a

curated collage of short hair inspiration that’s got us itching to grab

the shears—or at least book an appointment.

One of the heartbeats of this issue is a gorgeous tribute to Danielle

Leon by Mischa. It’s heartfelt, powerful, and full of the kind of love

and admiration that reminds us how lucky we are to be surrounded

by simple beauty in life. And speaking of inspiring—Suzanne, one

of our beautiful models from the Spring/Summer '25 Collection, has

written a little something about her experience behind the scenes.

Spoiler alert: it’s not all glam, but it is all fun.

Basically, this newsletter is your VIP pass to peek inside our creative

brains and get a feel for the things that move us—whether it's plants,

art, fashion, or just celebrating each other. Because as much as we

live and breathe hair, we’re also here to share the full picture of what

makes Salon Concrete tick. Hope you enjoy the ride.
