What an amazing event! Fantastic selection of products, advice, workshops and talks. It was so informative, I came away feeling so empowered! Can't wait for next year's event!
Nice to attend a hair festival that celebrates natural hair. If you’re newly natural it’s such an empowering event. Can’t believe I only found out about it this year!

I go every year . The event gets better and better every year. Brilliant workshops
Being around more than 2,000 black women was a powerful learning experience. It reminded me that like our hair, we come in many different shades and shapes, but when we fully embrace what makes us unique, we rise and shine beyond imagination. I saw different generations of women rocking their curls, braids and coils like Queens and doing awesome things. Some of them are pushing boundaries and challenging the stereotypes of what it means to be woman and black.

The event was very well organised. It showcased professionals that had a wealth of knowledge which they happily shared.It hosted a large selection of natural organic hair companies that were passionate in growing the black market and businesses.There were also some talented artists and jewellers which had some great pieces of work. Great selection of workshops and seminars so you were able to gain knowledge and still enjoy your self. Lovely atmosphere,which allowed me saunter through without feeling tense. l would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to gain knowledge,purchase great products whilst integrating with their community .Can't wait to come again!! Blessings to all the promoters. Keep up your great work
Still coming to terms with how amazing CurlyTreats Fest...So tired but so worth it! Really inspiring to see some of my favourite Insta family and natural curls coming together all in one place. Natural hair really is such a beautiful thing.

Definitely enjoyed it. First time attending and will be back next year. Congrats to all those involved and to you Shirvina. Hard work was worth it.

You got to let people know when they’ve done a job well done. You never brighten your own light by trying to dim the light of others. I had to let this talented woman know how fantastic her event was yesterday, even if it did mean waking up at 5am. 😫 It was so beautiful to see all the support & all the vendors at yesterday’s @CurlyTreatsFest. If you missed it, you missed out big time. Shirvina & your team, I cannot sing your praises enough on such an amazing event.

CurlyTreats Festival was brilliant and there was lots opportunity to meet and hear talks from black business women on a mission who are taking positive action to empower our community. I was blown away by the passion of those women on stage sharing their personal business journeys and feel excited about the natural beauty movement inspiring confidence in our own capabilities to own our future success. I will definitely be back.

The event was wonderful. Lots of natural hair products, advice for natural hair, and beautiful African clothes.

Janice Hylton
This is the first #curlytreatsfest I have been too, I used to go to...years ago but I prefer this as I returned to natural hair 2.5 years ago.
Butterflyy Bliss
Queen well done on such a successful event. It’s the first time I’ve done CurlyTreats & had never heard about it before, but I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to be a vendor again next year or be at any other event you are hosting. No wonder it was a sellout event. The whole concept is amazing. Your organisation, understanding & attention to detail was A1 & professional from your initial email to me to the very end of the event yesterday.
I wanted to personally thank you for enabling this opportunity - it was a really busy, lively and such fun day out for both the visitors and vendors! Long day but so worth it. It was a great opportunity for me to meet in person some customers who support my brand and also make new ones too. We were practically sold out of goods at the end of the day! Thanks again for organising this essential festival.

I had a brilliant day and I look forward to next year's event.
It was really nice to see such a positive event and meet so many new vendors. Thank you for the goody bag too.
Cacherel Jules
The event was a such a great turnout and it was good to see people who were happy to support black businesses all in one location. The level of organisation was spectacular and your assistance was provided when needed, considering how busy you were you still had time for your customers, its much appreciated. A massive thank you and well done.

Thank you greatly for putting on such a brilliant event. I loved every minute of it of playing such a significant part in it. It was such an awesome experience. I have heard nothing but praise from those who attended and many people were saying how you should make this a regular event, even every 6 months. Your hand picked team of volunteers and coordinators were an absolute pleasure to work with and each one was inspiring in their own unique way. You are a true inspiration to many and exude the characteristics of a humble leader who is building a growing empire that serves and educates many. I will continue to support CurlyTreats Festival and all of your future events that you have in the pipeline. You rock.

Thoroughly enjoyable day out, was inspiring to see an exhibition of this magnitude dedicated to the education of women and girls of colour embracing their natural hair.
CurlyTreats was a very informative and friendly event. I would recommend to all women with natural hair and will be going back.
Tryphina
As someone who has done event planning, I am sometimes hard to impress but it was a pleasure to attend this event for the curly community. The programme had something for everyone with high quality speakers, workshops and exhibitors. I can't wait until next year!

CurlyTreats Fest is a great opportunity to shop with independent businesses as well as bigger brands. It was educational and empowering to be surrounded by like-minded people.

We at Heritage Collections wanted to say a huge thank you for the opportunity you gave us to sell our merchandise at the Curly Treats event last week. It was truly an amazing experience. Yourself and your team did a splendid job and the event was great! The CurlyTreats vision is a great one so keep up the good work and we hope to see you again next year.

Everything I needed to know about natural black hair and how to care for it was there! Great workshops, great stalls to buy products.Even having discounted prices compared to shops. Samples to try and buy next time. Accessories and clothes to buy. A real 'treat'. A definite date to mark in your calendar, annually.

Did I tell you I had fun! I really had fun with all the awesome music being placed all day.
Simply Go Natural Cosmetics
The event was very interesting lots of helpful tips and advice for natural hair maintenance. Would recommend that you grab your tickets early though as they sell out fast. Nice event.
