NEW: Length Retention Lab [WORKSHOP]

You've watched the YouTube videos. You've read the blogs. You've tried the routines. And yet your hair still feels stuck at the same length — and you still don't feel like you fully know what your hair actually needs. Here's the truth: most of the curl advice out there isn't made for you. It's generic. It's conflicting. And it's overwhelming. One person swears by the LOC method, another says skip it. One blog says deep condition every week, another says you're over-conditioning. No wonder wash day feels like a guessing game. What you actually need is someone to look at your hair — your curl pattern, your porosity, your lifestyle — and tell you exactly what to do. That's what this workshop is. Length Retention Lab is an intimate, hands-on length retention workshop for beginner naturals, led by Allison Shimamoto — founder of Haiama Beauty, 15-year natural, and the woman behind Philadelphia's award-winning organic curl care line. With only 6 spots available per session, you'll get the kind of personalized attention that a class, a blog, or a comment section can never give you. You will leave with a plan that is yours. Not someone else's routine you're trying to make work. Yours. What's included: A full 2.5-hour hands-on workshop covering everything you need to start retaining length Porosity testing and curl type analysis with personalized feedback from Allison on your specific hair A step-by-step wash day plan built around your curl pattern and lifestyle A live twist-out demo plus hands-on practice so you can replicate it at home The dos and don'ts of length retention — what's working against you and how to fix it Details: Date: Saturday, May 16th, June 27th or July 18th Time: 11 AM – 1:30 PM Location: Haiama Studios, BOK Building — Philadelphia, PA Price: $99 per person Spots: 8 maximum — and they will go fast. Stop guessing. Stop starting over. Come get a plan that actually works for your curls.
