Frequently asked questions

What is a curl specialist?

A curl specialist is a hairstylist trained specifically in curly and textured hair types. They understand the unique structure of curls, waves and coils, and use tailored cutting and styling techniques to enhance your natural curl pattern while keeping your hair healthy.

How do I know if my stylist is truly a curl specialist?

Look for:

  • Training or certification in curl-specific cutting and styling techniques
  • A portfolio featuring a variety of curl types, textures and patterns
  • Positive client reviews mentioning curl health, shape and definition
  • Experience recommending suitable products and at-home styling routines

Before booking a curly hairdresser, ask whether the stylist regularly works with your curl type and which cutting technique they would recommend.
What’s the difference between a curly dry cut and a curly wet cut?

Both methods are used for curls; the difference is in the technique and the goal.

Dry curly cuts are done on your natural, dry curls so the stylist can see your true shape, length, and pattern. Great for precision shaping.

Wet curly cuts are done when curls are fully hydrated and clumped, allowing the stylist to cut for balance, structure, and even tension. Ideal for curl types that change shape when dry or for styles needing clean lines.

A trained curl specialist chooses the right approach for your texture, density, and desired result.
Can I bring inspirational photos to my appointment?

Yes, definitely. Inspirational photos can help your stylist understand the shape, length and overall look you would like to achieve. Your stylist can then adapt the style to suit your individual curl pattern, density, face shape and lifestyle.

When contacting a local curly hair salon, consider sharing your inspiration photos before your appointment so the stylist can advise whether the look is suitable for your curl
Will my stylist teach me how to style my curls?

Yes! Education is a huge part of a curly appointment. They will walk you through cleansing, conditioning, product application, sectioning, and diffusing so you can recreate the look at home..
