Curly hair hairdresser Manchester
Curly hair can be tricky to deal with, but with the right cut, products and care, you can embrace your curls – and love them!
Embrace your curls
Curly hair salons you can trust can be difficult to find. Our talented team of stylists will make sure you leave our Manchester city centre salon looking and feeling fabulous with beautiful, cared-for curls. Finally celebrities and the runways are embracing their naturally curly hair which means it's becoming more accepted to leave the straighteners in the drawer, which we love to see! Whether you want to tame unmanageable curls or give listless curly hair a boost, we can help you love your natural hair again.
We often hear from clients who have had their fair share of bad haircuts over the years. They can find it difficult to identify a curly hair specialist they can trust – or have spent years trying to manage their curls with a straight hair style.
That’s why it’s reassuring to know your curly hair cut and style is in safe professional hands with our stylists.
Of course, our team are adept at cutting all kinds of hair textures and types, but we also have skills and experience in dealing with curly hair on a regular basis.
We use your consultation to truly understand the style you want to create so that you can sit back, relax and enjoy the experience as our stylists get to work, understanding exactly what is required to create the look you want.
Choose your style
Our team are masters of curly hair styling! There’s no such thing as one single curl pattern, and curly hair comes in lots of different shapes and levels of tension. Some curls can be more manageable if they're allowed to grow a little longer as it weighs down the curls and results in less volume. However, a short and sassy style can be a real ‘head turner’ as long as you get the right cut. Our stylists will help you find the perfect style for you!
Whether you want to make the most of your wavy, tight or loose curls, our stylists will ask you about your lifestyle to help you manage your curls at home. How much time do you want to spend on everyday styling? Which techniques and curly hair products are best for at-home washing and styling? We make sure you leave our salon feeling empowered to maintain your fabulous curls at home.

Whether you're embracing your natural hair for the first time or have years of experience dealing with curls, you're in safe hands.
Every curl is different – that’s why we cut and style each curl individually. From soft waves to tight coils, we assess your natural curl pattern and texture before choosing the right techniques.
Our goal is to create a shape and style that enhances your curls while making everyday styling easier.
A curly cut is a specialised technique designed specifically for curly hair.
The cutting technique used depends on your natural texture. Usually we cut the hair when it’s wet to see its natural form and then again when it is dry as a curl by curl method, to see how they spring and fall.
This tailored process helps us shape your curls more accurately and enhance their natural beauty.
