Toriah Lachell, who previously dated Jayson Tatum, is the owner of The Curl Bar Boston, a salon specialising in naturally curly hair. On its official website, she introduces herself as Toriah Mimms. Her public professional story centres on a practical idea: learning how to care for curls should be part of the appointment. The Curl Bar, ESPN
For readers interested in her own career, the salon offers a clearer picture than the personal-life summaries attached to her name.
How her interest in hair became a career
In her salon biography, Toriah traces her interest to caring for her own hair after using relaxers when she was younger. Helping others followed, then cosmetology school. She lists DevaCurl and Rezo Cut certification and describes herself as a Cut It Kinky alumna. Professional biography
Her work also appeared in a March 2021 episode of The Glow Up Effect. The programme introduced her as a Boston-based curl specialist and salon owner, with a discussion about confidence, developing a craft and natural-hair care. Episode information
What happens at The Curl Bar
The salon’s published new-client service combines consultation, cutting, cleansing, treatment, styling and individual curl coaching. Product recommendations are included. That combination helps explain the educational emphasis: the work involves both the finished hairstyle and understanding how to maintain it. Service menu
Teaching beyond the salon chair
The Curl Bar also advertises private training for licensed cosmetologists and students, covering tight-curl assessment, cleansing, styling and shaping. Its education page describes community workshops that can take place in person or virtually. Education programmes
These are different audiences with different needs. A client wants a workable home routine; a stylist needs techniques to use professionally. The published programmes show how education extends beyond a standard appointment.
