I’m unsure which curly haircut to book. What do you recommend?

Finding the right curly haircut depends on your hair type and length. Here’s a quick guide:

• Fine or medium-thickness hair above the shoulders – Book our Signature Curl for a tailored shape that enhances your natural curl pattern.

• Medium to thick hair below the shoulders, long hair, or a re-style – The Luxury Curl is ideal. This service includes Luxury steam treatment to nourish your curls.

• Very thick or long curly hair that takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to fully dry, or if you're looking for a full re-style – The Indulgent Curl is perfect for you. This includes an intensive Luxury steam treatment to define and restore your curls.

If you’re still unsure, we recommend booking a consultation, and the deposit will be deducted from your final bill.

How should I prepare for my curly hair appointment?

For the best results, please arrive with your hair down, dry, and detangled. Your hair can have product in it and should be in your favorite post-wash day state so we can see how you love to wear your curls at their best.

During your appointment, we’ll address all your curly hair needs, from cutting and styling to hydration and curl definition techniques.

What styling tips do you recommend for curly hair?

For maximum definition and volume, we recommend:

• Using a brush to style—this helps lift the roots and create definition.

• Choosing the right styling product for your curls, whether it’s a curl cream, gel, mousse, or serum.

• Diffusing your curls for the best results, but we can also offer air-drying tips if that suits your lifestyle.

How do I get rid of frizz?

Frizz is usually a sign of dehydrated curls. To reduce frizz:

• Apply styling products to soaking wet hair for maximum moisture retention.

• Dry your curls to 100% to set the style.

• Protect your curls at night with a silk or satin bonnet or pillowcase to minimize friction and reduce frizz.

My curls don’t last. What should I do?

If your curls aren’t holding their shape, consider the following:

• You may need to clarify your hair if there’s product buildup.

• You might be using too much or too little product.

• You could be using the wrong products for your curl type.

• You might not be protecting your curls at night.

That’s why booking a curly cut or styling appointment is essential—we’ll assess your hair needs and provide personalised solutions for long-lasting, defined curls.

Do you cut curly hair dry or wet?

Every curly haircut is customised to your unique curl pattern. During your consultation or on the day of your appointment, your stylist will assess your curl type, density, and texture to determine whether a dry or wet cut will achieve the best results.
