Curly hair is not a trend—it’s a texture, a statement, and a unique personal identity. But too often, it’s misunderstood, miscut, and mistreated in salons. At Anthony Presotto Hairdressing, I believe curly hair deserves more than standard cutting techniques—it deserves a custom approach. This is why I specialise in custom curly cuts, tailored specifically to your curl type, density, lifestyle, and styling preferences.
Why Curly Hair Needs Customisation
No two curls are the same. Even on the same head, curls can vary from root to tip. Cutting them uniformly with a ‘standard’ method doesn’t take into account:
– Variations in curl pattern
– Shrinkage differences
– Curl tension and thickness
– Asymmetrical density
This is why many people with curls walk out of salons with results that look good wet, but don’t work dry.
The Problem with Traditional Haircuts for Curls
Most traditional haircutting techniques are developed for straight or slightly wavy hair. These techniques often:
– Stretch curls while wet
– Create blunt or mismatched layers
– Ignore shrinkage
– Lead to triangle or uneven shapes
These problems are avoidable when you understand curl behaviour in its natural form.
My Curl-Centric Cutting Method
At my salon, we cut curls the way they live, dry and in their natural state. This technique allows me to:
– Cut curls for precision
– Maintain a healthy length
– Shape based on real volume and bounce
– Build a structure without disrupting the pattern
This results in curls that align, move, and hold shape effortlessly.
Tailoring to Curl Types and Lifestyles
Curls are complex, and so are the people who wear them. During a curly hair consultation, I assess:
– Curl pattern (2A to 4C)
– Hair goals (volume, shape, length)
– Styling routine (wash-and-go, twist-outs, diffuser, etc.)
– Product habits and texture needs
This ensures that your cut supports how you wear your hair, not just how it looks on salon day.
Creating Shape and Balance
Curls need structure to thrive. A great curly haircut:
– Frames the face beautifully
– Reduces bulk where unnecessary
– Boosts volume strategically
– Encourages natural definition
Every curl cut is a sculpting process, not a mechanical trim.
Addressing Common Curl Concerns
Most curly-haired clients come to me with one or more of these frustrations:
– My hair is frizzy no matter what I do
– I can’t find a shape that works
– My curls don’t blend well
– My hair shrinks too much after a cut
Dry cutting and curl-specific shaping solve these issues by respecting your natural texture.
Post-Cut Styling Support
After every curly cut, I don’t just style and send you off. I will walk you through:
– How to refresh your curls between washes
– Which products suit your pattern
– Techniques for diffusing or air drying
– Tips for maintaining definition without damage
This is about curl education, not just curl cutting.
Client Testimonial: A Curl Breakthrough
Meet Carla. She had Type 3C curls that she had chemically straightened for years out of frustration. Her past cuts made her hair feel big, undefined, and unpredictable. After our first dry curl cut, she was shocked. Her curls were:
– Balanced
– Healthy-looking
– Full of spring and definition
– Easy to style
She said, ‘This is the first time I’ve loved my curls without straightening them.’
Why Customisation is Empowerment
When you’ve spent your whole life being told to manage or change your curls, it’s empowering to finally embrace them. A customised curly haircut says:
– You don’t need to conform
– Your texture is beautiful
– You deserve specialised care
At my salon, curls aren’t problems to fix—they’re patterns to perfect.
Let Your Curls Lead the Way
Curly hair is dynamic, expressive, and powerful—but only when it’s cut with care and intention. With my custom curly cut approach, you’ll walk away not just with a new shape, but with a renewed relationship with your curls. It’s more than a haircut—it’s a celebration of your natural texture.
Are you ready to let your curls shine with a custom cut that enhances their beauty and simplifies your routine?
