Curly hair salons in Balgowlah, at a glance

Curly hair behaves differently wet and dry, which is why most curl specialists cut it dry, curl by curl. Going to someone who cuts curls occasionally is the most common reason people end up with a shape they did not ask for.

Most start between
$10–$65
Open past 7pm
13 of 30

What to look for

  • Dry cutting. If they wet-cut and blow-dry straight, they are cutting a shape you will never wear.
  • Ask which curl patterns they work with most. Loose waves and tight coils need different hands.
