Gentle blending
At @saloncleancurly , it’s not always just about curly cuts and styling. Sometimes we’re here to bring creative color solutions to the table. So what do you do when you have old color that has grown out and faded, you want it to feel brighter and refreshed, you want to blend through a prominent grey streak in the front, but you don’t want to commit to a single process color and having to have it retouched every four weeks? Well for this client an all over lowlight was the ans

Looking for more volume and curl near your root?
Check out her reaction the first time seeing her hair after her first curly cut and style! This young lady came in with a common request. Can it have more volume, and is it possible to get it to curl closer to the top? We accomplished this by taking a little length, adding a LOT of layers, and diffusing to encourage her curl. This session also included a lot of information on at home curl care. Have you been wanting to take the leap and get a curly cut? Come see us ☺️ Nich

Ever wondered what a curly cut appointment actually looks like from start to finish? This is Amelie’s third time in our chair — and every visit looks a little different, because curly hair isn’t static. It grows, it changes, you change. This time she was ready to chop, and we were here for it. We always start with a real conversation. What’s going on with your curls, what’s working in your routine, what isn’t. Even with clients who really know their hair, there’s always somet

Natural Shine
This is one of those before and afters where I feel like yall aren’t going to believe me that we didn’t color her hair. But I swear we didn’t! It all starts with the cleanse. Getting the layers of product and hard water build up off of the hair lets it reflect the light and shine the way it’s meant to. Anyhow, this lovely lady saw another one of my clients at a cooking class and decided she needed to give us a try. How did we do? If you’re struggling with your curls and need

Testing, testing, 1, 2, Creams!
We’re back with another multi-product styling series and this time it’s all creams, all day. If you saw the last one, you already know how this goes — I’m not just going to tell you a product is good or bad. I’m going to show you, side by side, so you can actually see the difference and decide for yourself. Because that’s what your hair deserves. Real information. Not just a pretty thumbnail. Here’s exactly what I tested across all 7 clips: Clip 1 — The OG curl cream from the

Hairdressers need hair cuts too!
Even curl specialists need a little love sometimes. 🥹 I recently trimmed my own hair, but it needed a little tweaking — so I reached out to Laura @lalaschoolhouse because she’s been doing some of the cutest short curly cuts, and honestly? I also just wanted to meet her. So many curl specialists work in isolation, and there’s something really special about being in the same space as someone who does what you do and speaks the same language. (I’ve also had the pleasure of seei

Straight what??
A little something about me as a hairdresser that you may not already know. I was not always a curl specialist (in fact, I was not always a hairdresser at all. This is a second career for me but I digress). In my early days of hairdressing, I worked in a wonderful salon in downtown Delray Beach, Florida. An organic hair salon that specialized in dry cutting. Back in those days, we would straighten most clients’ hair before cutting it. Every once in a while, I get the opportu

“Why can’t I get my curls to look the way you do them at the salon?” 👀 We hear this every single week, and the truth is — it’s not just the products, it’s the process. When we style curls in the salon, we take our time working gel through the hair section by section. This ensures every curl is evenly coated, properly hydrated, and able to form its natural pattern without frizz. That’s the secret behind that defined, juicy, long-lasting curl you love when you leave here. 💫 A

From one-length and weighed down ➡️ to light, bouncy, defined curls! 💫 Has your stylist ever avoided layers because they were afraid your curls would get too poofy?

Wait, what?
Wait, what?? Why are you seeing straight hair on a curly profile?? We went waaaay outside the box for this one. This wonderful new client came in with her hair curling ironed. We had a very thorough consultation in which she stated that while she did want to get to a point where she wore her natural curl all of the time, currently she did style with an iron fairly often. Some of y’all may know that I started my career and an organic salon that specialized in dry hair cutting

Before ➡️ Before ➡️ After ✨ This sweet young lady came in for her second curly cut with us last week. For reference, I pulled up her original “before” picture from her very first visit — and wow, what a difference! At that first appointment, we focused on more than just the haircut. We talked about scalp care, proper shampooing and conditioning techniques, and how to style in a way that supports her curl pattern. Fast forward to her second visit, and you can see the differenc
