Curly Haircuts
Looking for the best Curly Haircut in Austin? Have you had someone tell you they knew how to cut curly hair only to find out they really didn’t? We know your pain. Cutting curls well takes special training. Not only is every head of curls different, most of our clients have different types of curls in the same head of hair. Individual curls also have different spring factors, so cutting them requires different amounts of tension on each curl.
To get the best curly haircut, you need a curl specialist, and we have them. Our curly hair specialists go through intensive training on curls and never stop learning, adding to their curl repertoire every year.
Most curly clients take advantage of our 30 minute Shape Up service between full hair cuts, which makes maintaining those gorgeous curls more economical. See our Staff Page for session timing and prices.
CURLY HAIR COLOR
Placement of color on curly hair is different than with straight hair because it lives differently on your head. Curly strands are often shaped differently and usually have an open cuticle every place the hair bends. Because of that, different products and product strengths are required to keep the hair healthy. Moisture is even more critical with curly hair than with other textures. Session timing for curly color services is the same as for other textures.
HOW TO COME PREPARED FOR YOUR CURLY SERVICE
For the best curly haircut, please arrive with clean dry curls styled as you normally wear them so your stylist can assess your natural texture, color and styling habits. If you arrive with your hair wet or in a bun, we may have to wash and pre-style prior to your service, which will impact our ability to complete it in the scheduled time.
Curly Haircut Sessions
For returning clients only. This is a “between cuts” dry cut without a shampoo or finish that includes a reshaping of the hair in front of the ears, including bangs, face framing bits, some weight removal and crown layers. Includes neck clean up for fades and barbered looks. This service is meant to be a cost effective option to extend the life of a full hair cut but not replace it. If you have gone more than 12 weeks without a cut, please schedule a full cut.
30 Minute Shape Up
1 & 1.5 Hour Sessions
These sessions are for full haircuts. Check the stylists bios to see which session length they do for new/repeat clients and for short cuts.
Generally speaking, most of our stylists do a 1.5 hour session for new client cuts, but a few do a 1 hour session. Most of our stylists do a 1 hour session for short cuts, but a few require a 1.5 hour session for all cuts.
2 Hour Session
This session length is for some first time curly cut clients and for big transformation cuts with dramatic shape and/or length changes. These cuts typically involve lots of detail work and a lengthy consultation, especially when getting to know a client’s curls.
