Curly hair salons in Central Coast, 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
$17.50–$50

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.
  • A first appointment should include time to talk about how you wash, dry and product your hair.
  • Expect to pay more than a standard cut. The appointments are longer for a reason.

Common questions

Why does a curly cut cost more?
It takes longer. A dry curl cut is typically 60 to 120 minutes because each curl is shaped individually and the result is assessed as it dries, rather than cut to a straight-hair template.
How often should curly hair be cut?
Every three to four months for most people. Curls hide growth well, so the trigger is usually loss of shape or split ends rather than length.
