Brand Tone

Helpful & Educational, Approachable & Friendly, Supportive & Encouraging, Community-Focused, Knowledgeable & Authoritative (but not intimidating)

Brand Values

• •Accessibility: A core mission is to make high-quality curly hair products easily available to Canadians, mitigating issues like high international shipping costs and customs fees.
• •Customer Support & Guidance: They offer product guidance, knowledgeable team members, and resources to help customers navigate their curly hair journey.
• •Quality & Curation: Focus on stocking sought-after, effective brands and products specifically for curly hair needs, including support for small and independent manufacturers.
• •Education: Providing resources (blog, product info) to help customers understand and care for their curls.
• •Community Building: Fostering a sense of community among Canadian "curlies."
• •Canadian Focus: Emphasizing their role as a Canadian source for curly hair products, including highlighting Canadian brands.

Best Practices

• •Develop a Simple Style Guide: Outline key phrases (e.g., "curlfriend," "Canadian curlies"), emojis commonly used (✨, 👋, 🇨🇦), and words to embrace (e.g., "nourish," "define," "embrace," "discover") versus words to avoid (e.g., overly technical jargon unless explained, negative framing like "tame frizz" could be "enhance definition").
• •Prioritize "Helpful Education": Ensure most communications offer a piece of advice, a solution, or insight, reinforcing the brand as a knowledgeable resource. This can be as simple as a quick tip with a product feature.
• •Embrace Authenticity & Community Language: Use language that resonates with the curly hair community (e.g., "CGM friendly," "plopping," "SOTC" if explained or for a more engaged audience). Encourage user-generated content and feature real customer experiences.
• •Maintain a Positive and Empowering Voice: Focus on the beauty and potential of curly hair. Frame solutions positively. Instead of "fix your frizzy hair," try "unlock smoother, more defined curls."
• •Be Approachable in Interactions: When responding to comments or inquiries, maintain a friendly, supportive, and helpful tone, even when addressing concerns. Personalize responses where possible.

Social Perception

Positive Overall: Customers frequently praise the wide product selection, availability of brands not easily found elsewhere in Canada, and knowledgeable, helpful customer service. Many express that the store has been a "life-changer" or "godsend" for their hair care needs. Trusted Resource: Seen as a reliable source for quality curly hair products and advice. Customers appreciate the expertise and guidance offered. Problem Solver: Curl Warehouse is perceived as solving a significant problem for Canadian consumers with curly hair by providing access to specialized products without the high costs and delays of international shipping.
