Curly Hair Group

Online reviews can be an excellent tool when researching prospective businesses. Despite occasional flaws in how reviews are managed or presented, most people find them helpful. That said, some prefer more personal sources of information. Connecting directly with past clients—particularly in an online curly hair group—can provide unfiltered insight and reassurance, independent of the business itself.

In that respect, Facebook groups and community pages can be useful. One such group, the Curly Hair Kindness Society, is often mentioned by those seeking recommendations for curly hairdressers in Melbourne and beyond. It functions as a supportive space where people share their experiences, including photos, referrals, and cautionary tales.

Before proceeding further, a point of full transparency:

Tom Zappala is not a member of the Curly Hair Kindness Society, nor does he participate in any Facebook groups of this kind. He has no access to what is posted or discussed.

Because the group is private, it is neither monitored nor influenced by this practice. Occasionally, clients mention that favourable comments about the work have been shared—but there is no visibility as to when, by whom, or in what context.

For those who’ve already read online reviews and are seeking additional independent perspectives, joining the Curly Hair Kindness Society may be worthwhile. Client photos or candid posts may help validate the decision—entirely separate from anything stated here.
