MEET BARBARA KURMLAVAGE
CEO AND FOUNDER
OF CURLVITALITY
At just 26-years-old Barbara Kurmlavage founded CurlVitality while, you guessed it, was in the middle of washing her hair.
Barbara moved to Los Angeles right after High School to pursue a career in acting. She trained at Stella Adler’s Art of Acting Studio as well as The Groundlings Imrpov School. She had been cast in many films, commercials, and musicals all around the world.
Because of the spotlight, Barbara always felt like she needed to straighten her hair to be accepted in Hollywood as a young artist. She even had casting directors tell her that she “will never work a day with that curly hair”.
Thousands of dollars in Keratin treatments later, Barbara knew there had to be another way.
So, she gave her hair a “no excuses” policy and started self-learning everything one needs to know (and even what one doesn’t need to know) about hair health and the science behind how products and techniques can affect your hair.
The process wasn’t easy. Numerous years and countless dollars were wasted through trial & error, but eventually… she cracked the code.
After totally mastering her own hair, Barbara began helping friends and family transform their hair, too!
While working as the Chief Operating Officer at her father’s business, Barbara gained knowledge of how a business is ran and totally fell in love with the business side of business.
So, she had the skills to run a business and knew an awful lot about hair… thus, CurlVitality was born!
Barbara believes CurlVitality is her true purpose and life-calling and has many exciting projects coming up! She can’t wait to help more and more girls all over the world learn to love their hair just like she did.
While Barbara is not curl coaching, she enjoys yoga, meditation, journaling, reading, and playing with her Mini-Bernedoodle, Cosette and her Manx Cat, Mowgli.
"I learned to love my hair and in the process, learned to love myself."
