At Rizos Curls we pride ourselves in celebrating the stories of artists and creatives who are challenging existing beauty norms and showing the many faces of beauty.
Oaxaca is a very special, unique & culturally-rich place, with a nascent group of talent who are pushing boundaries in terms of beauty representation and artistic expression.
For this campaign Mexican American Founder of Rizos Curls, Julissa Prado, partners with Oaxaca-based Talento Espina, an agency who is leading the way in expanding Mexican beauty representation around the world.
