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

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

Hairdressers need hair cuts too!

Here are a few curl specialist-approved ways to keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and defined all winter long: 💧 1️⃣ Deep condition regularly.

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.
