At Aoki Hair, Perth’s leading curly hair salon, education never ends – and for Jenni, staying at the forefront of curly hair care means learning from the world’s best. Jenni has recently returned from New York, where she completed an intensive, hands-on seminar with Reema Jaber, founder of the renowned Cado Academy.
This latest advanced curly hair training builds on Jenni’s existing expertise in other curly hair methods.
She has previously studied with Lorraine Massey, creator of the Curly Girl Method, and Nubia Rezo, founder of the Rezo Method.
Today, Jenni is one of the very few stylists globally to hold certifications from all three leading curl systems – a rare combination that allows her to offer highly personalised care for every curl type.
The Three Curl Methods Jenni has Mastered
Jenni’s training covers a range of specialist cutting and styling techniques designed to suit every curly client:
The Cado Method (Reema Jaber)
The Cado Method focuses on advanced curl cutting techniques that work with the hair’s natural pattern. This approach helps create beautiful shape, movement, and volume while preserving curl health, perfect for clients looking for a fresh, long-lasting curly hair transformation.
Curly Girl Method (Lorraine Massey)
The Curly Girl Method teaches clients how to embrace their natural curls by prioritising hydration, gentle care, and avoiding damaging chemicals or heat. It’s become one of the most popular methods worldwide for managing and enhancing curls naturally.
Rezo Method (Nubia Rezo)
The Rezo Method uses a unique circular cutting technique that balances volume and shape while maintaining length. It’s ideal for clients who want full-bodied curls that remain versatile and easy to style.
By combining these global curl cutting techniques, Jenni can tailor every appointment to suit her clients’ individual curl patterns – from loose and wavy to tight coils — ensuring every client receives expert, personalised care.
Originally trained in South Africa, Jenni opened her first salon there before relocating to Perth with her son and parents. She went on to establish Aoki Hair, now widely recognised as one of Australia’s top curly hair specialists.
With over 20 years of experience, Jenni’s reputation as a Master of Curly Transformations attracts clients from across Perth – and even interstate, who trust her expertise, authenticity, and refreshingly down-to-earth approach to curly hair care.
For Jenni, continuing education isn’t about adding more certificates – it’s about bringing world-class curly hair expertise home to Perth, and helping every client feel confident in their natural curls.
