Finding the right hairdresser is a difficult enough quest for anyone with wavy, curly or textured locks. It’s doubly so for those who need a cut that will give their strands some serious bounce, shine and sass. That’s why it’s important to find a stylist who specialises in curl cutting. The best ones will have the training and experience to understand the different kinks, coils and swirls of your locks. And they’ll be able to give you the support your curls need so that you can embrace them without fear.
We’ve scoured Melbourne for the best salons that specialise in curl cutting, and picked the five we think are the cream of the crop. They’ll help you leave the salon with gorgeous curls and a little bit of swagger, Gina-style!
1. Rhodes Hair & Spa
Swathed in Aveda aromas, the eastern suburbs salon has ‘curl love’ written all over it. The team of stylists is led by a cult favourite, Melissa, who’s not only adept at defining your natural shape with a great chop, but also expert in how to keep your curls looking good at home. She’s a big fan of the Curly Girl Method, and recommends that clients use silicone-free products to keep their locks looking fresh. She says regular trims will help prevent tangles and Fairy knots, too. She recommends a trim every 12-16 weeks, depending on your style goals.curly hairdresser Melbourne
