Raquel Noriko 's passion for people as well as curly hair is seen through her discernment in approaching and cutting style to cater to each client's needs. 

  In 2015 , she had the opportunity to travel, train and teach  fellow stylists,  students, and consumers throughout the US with cutting and hair care techniques for textured hair. Deva Curl was where she originally started her educating  career. February 2020 she embarked on her own and is now educating and repping for herself as an independent stylist and educator. July 2022 she is now salon owner of Culture Curl Studio. 

While curly hair is a  passion of Raquel's she also loves coloring and styling all hair types as it brings the true artist out in her craft. Raquel has worked at numerous blow dry bars and salons, such as Dry Bar and Blo Blow Dry Bar in Southern California, being well rounded in styling, updos, color services and more. 

 All hair textures are welcome although curly hair is her mere focus. 

"My passion for hair and love for people is what brought me into this beautiful career I have been blessed to have for the past thirteen years. I was called to Maui after stepping foot on  island for the first time on a vacation in 2015. The indescribable feeling one gets when 'called' to the island is a strong one. I am so happy I listened to it and blessed that Maui embraced me. For me growing up biracial and identifying with both my African American & Japanese roots,  I have always had a love for culture and diversity. Hawaii's culture is something I respect and have grown in adoration for since living on the island. I love helping women and men  find their inner beauty and confidence through embracing what is naturally their own. With my Los Angeles native hustle and island girl heart, I am grateful to live out my dreams on Maui doing what I love and serving others. -Raquel Noriko
