Roby was very attentive and personable throughout our appointment. She answered all my questions and gave good advice on caring for my hair. I love my new haircut and love that the salon has very chill vibes. Thank you!

Maritza did an amazing job! I have extremely curly hair that can be difficult but she made sure my haircut came out exactly how I wanted it.

Top rate! If you want a wonderful experience and quality haircut, book with Ashley! I wanted to go short for the summer. Instead of chopping my hair, she gradually cut my hair asking me if the length was right. Ashley has an exceptionally gentle touch, from the shampoo, scalp massage, cut, blow dry, and style. Seriously, book with Ashley. She’s the best!

I wish I could give this salon more than 5 stars. My daughter Stephanie loves getting her haircut by Kim. Stephanie’s hair is super thick and very hard to manage. Kim makes my life easier by giving my daughter the perfect haircut. Thank you so much for everything you do. You’re super talented!!

This was my first haircut in three years and Tania took such great care of me! I appreciated that she listened to what I wanted to do with my hair and the end result was probably the best haircut I’ve ever had!

I got a really good haircut! It was kind of expensive though, and took a really long time. They mixed up on my stylist, and the first one didn't seem very friendly. My second one was better, but it was still mostly quiet. I'm trying to engage in small talk, but Fiona didn't seem to want to talk, which left uncomfortable silence.

I had a great first experience with Andrea! She asked all the questions and got the answers from me to be able to do her work. First she did a hair wash. Her head/neck massage was very relaxing and took her time! The products smell amazing! I also can’t wait for their new EVO line cuz it smells so good! She knew exactly how I wanted my hair to look like. I wanted a style that would work with my natural curls and when I heat style. If you’ve got curly hair, please go to her! She’s detailed in her work and really does take her time efficiently! I will be going back to her! Thank you!!

I really enjoyed my experience with Andrea. It was my first time there. I live in the area and need a major hair cut. From the greeting to the shampoo to the head massage to the haircut and blowdry... everything was a dream. Andrea was a sweetheart and treated me like a queen.

My daughter is 11 and wanted a short cut for the first time. She was taken care of from the moment we walked in, and she enjoyed the whole experience. When we got home, she told me to make sure her stylist knew how much she loved it. She keep walking around the house showing off her new haircut.

Curly Haircut FAQs
A curly haircut uses a cutting technique designed specifically for individuals with curly or wavy hair. Unlike a regular haircut, a curly cut must be done when your hair is dry and in its natural state. It takes your natural curl pattern and texture into account. This ensures that your curls fall beautifully, reducing frizz and enhancing volume.
The best haircut for your curly hair will depend on your face shape, curl type, and personal style. Some popular curly cuts include layers, bob, pixie, and Deva cuts. Ask a stylist who understands curly hair to help you choose a haircut that will enhance your natural curls and suit your overall look.
That depends on your hair's health and how quickly it grows. On average, every 6-8 weeks is a good benchmark for curly hair cuts. Maintain your curly hair's health and definition with regular deep conditioning between cuts, and make sure to use curly-friendly hair products.
The main risk with curly haircuts is getting one from a stylist who isn't skilled in handling curly hair. It's important to find a hair professional who understands your curly hair's unique needs, to ensure you get a cut that enhances your natural curls.
Embrace your natural texture and work with your curls. Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep your curls hydrated. Apply a curl defining cream or gel to your hair when it's damp, then let it air dry or use a diffuser for extra volume. Avoid heat styling as much as possible to prevent damage.
Find a stylist or salon that specialises in curly hair. Read their online reviews, ask for recommendations, and look for stylists with curl-specific training or certifications. It's also a good idea to book a consultation with your stylist first, to discuss your hair goals and ensure you feel comfortable with them.
