About

Dare To Stare is a salon suite in Fort Worth, Texas, where owner Nika Corwin offers haircuts, color, texture services, styling, nails, curl coaching and hair extensions. Its specialty is curly hair and luxury extensions, and the business describes itself as the luxury extension specialist in Fort Worth.

Nika came to hairstyling after a background in corporate marketing. She trained at the Aveda Institute of Minneapolis, and she works as a brand educator for Bellami, a hair extension brand. Her work centers on natural curls and perms, and she focuses on the cut, color and care that curly hair needs.

A visit usually starts with a conversation. Free consultations can be booked to talk through options and see the space in person. Color pricing depends on time, the product used, length, density and how detailed the work is, so the salon quotes each service individually. Extension services also begin with a consultation.

Curly cutting is a core service here. Each visit opens with a dry cut that shapes the curls, followed by a detox wash, a second cleanse, deep conditioning and styling. A scalp detox mask, diffusing and final tweaks to the cut are also part of the visit. Guests are asked to come in with hair that is clean and dry, left as it naturally grows, using minimal or no styling products.

Curl coaching is a one-hour session that covers goals and concerns, hands-on guidance for washing and styling, and help choosing products for the client's hair. Extensions are offered in several methods, and Nika is certified in five extension methods, reflecting the view that no single technique suits everyone and that methods can be combined.

Appointments are confirmed once accepted, and text reminders before each visit include parking details, building access and where to find the stylist on arrival. The suite is near Southside in Fort Worth.

Hair is treated as more than appearance, with the aim of bold, confident looks built around the cut, color and care that suit the client's hair.

The space is described as cozy, welcoming and encouraging.
