Ensure your stylist has specialist curly hair cut training. Many stylists are trained in different methods but the best ones will adapt to suit your curls.
A true curly hair specialist understands how to deliver exceptional, lower-fuss results that support your natural texture and lifestyle. They know that a great haircut can help you embrace your wavy or curly hair, not make it harder to manage.
Delilah
The biblical Delilah was a deceitful femme fatale. She was able to manipulate Samson’s love for her and keep him at her side for his money, even as she tricked him into losing his strength and being handed over to the Philistines.
This Fitzroy salon prides itself on delivering great everyday hair. The stylists use a deconstructed method of dry cutting to create shapes that compliment your curl type and personality.
The salon is vegan and utilises curl friendly products like Clever Curl and Everescents. They also stock their own bespoke range of hair care products called Delilah.
Neel Loves Curls
Located above Quick Brown Fox in Fitzroy, Neel Loves Curls is the place for all curly-haired folk. Neel, who is a DevaCurl expert, learned the technique in the US before returning to Melbourne. Now, his salon has a cult-like following with clients travelling interstate to see him.
He cuts curls while they’re dry (it doesn’t make sense to cut wet) and teaches his clientele how to embrace their kinks, coils, and swirls. He also stocks the best curly hair products.
Gippsland curlies, rejoice! This salon in Traralgon is the only one that specialises in textured hair. Trish and Francine are all over the Curly Girl Method, as well as stocking a range of organic and curl-friendly products.
Mousey Brown
An exceptional curly haircut should support how you want to wear your hair. Unfortunately, too many salons claim to be curly experts yet promote chemical straightening and extensions. Others align with the product-reliant ‘CGM’ misinformation and deliver low-fuss, mediocre results.
Swathed in Aveda aromas, Rhodes Hair & Spa is an oasis of curl love. Jess specialises in dry cutting, and combines this with an artistic flare to create shape that compliments an individual’s curl pattern and lifestyle.
Maiden Hair is all about ‘living your best textured life’ and offers a specialised curly menu that includes consultations, co-washes and styling sessions. Ask for Hermiz and prepare to fall in lock love.
Studio Hi Gorgeous
Located in Alfredton, Studio Hi Gorgeous is the Gippsland region’s only curly hair specialist. Elise, known as the ‘Curl Queen’, welcomes you into her home based salon and will educate you on how to embrace your curls and wavy hair. Using the deconstructed method of dry cutting and artistic flare she creates shapes that compliment your personal features and personality. She stocks curl friendly, vegan products and educates her clients on the best ways to maintain their gorgeous locks at home.
Bringing beauty to the River Parishes, Hey Gorgeous has it all! Blowouts, colour corrections and facials are all available from this one-stop-shop.
Second Story
In the heart of Gippsland, Second Story is a salon dedicated to all textured hair types. Run by two curly hair specialists with years of experience, the team offers a warm and welcoming service at their home based salon.
Exceptional curly haircuts should always support how someone wants to live with their curls, not how a hairdresser envisions them. Unfortunately, many so-called curly hair specialists in Melbourne prioritise social media styling and product sales over effective haircutting. This often results in a cut that doesn’t look good at all or requires excessive styling and maintenance.curly hair specialist Melbourne
