About the business

Rowan McAnoy is the owner of CurlShoppe, a small business based out of Toronto, Canada that is focused on solving the unique hair care needs of curly hair of all types.

Beautiful curly hair requires special attention that many people find difficult to manage, so CurlShoppe’s goal is to help make it easy to love, care for, and embrace your natural curl pattem by providing the products and knowledge that help maintain a healthy moisturized bounce! As no two curls are the same, CurlShoppe strives to make sure it offers something for everyone regardless of their curl type or texture.

In 2016, CurlShoppe released its first collection of products, “Coconut Is Everything.” Since then, two more successful collections have been added, “Butter’d Up” and “For Men”, with more on the way!

Q&A with Rowan

What does your business do?

CurlShoppe creates clean, effective hair care products designed specifically for curly hair.

Why did you choose SpaceWork?

SpaceWork gave me the space and flexibility I needed to grow my business in a supportive community.

How does SpaceWork help your business run smoother?

The manufacturing and the shipping/receiving aspect of my business would be a lot harder and more expensive without my space at SpaceWork.

How does SpaceWork scale with your business?

The ability to scale our unit size as our business needs grew without the hassle of having to find a whole new location each time has been a huge benefit. We’ve upgraded our unit size at least 4 times since moving into SpaceWork!

What's been your proudest moment so far?

Launching our first collection, "Coconut Is Everything." and seeing our community grow.

What inspired you to start your business?

I wanted to create products that truly understand and support curly hair - because we deserve to love our natural curls.

What do you love most about being here?

The community, the convenience, and knowing i have a space that's truly my own.

What's next for CurlShoppe?

More products, more education and continuing to help every curl feel seen and celebrated!
