the stylists who don’t understand,

Curl-Focused Cut: Embrace Your Natural Curls with Confidence
Our Curl-Focused Cut is designed for those who want to celebrate their natural curls. This service is all about enhancing your unique curl pattern, bringing out the best in your hair. If you prefer wearing your hair poker straight, this may not be the best service for you—but if you love styles like bouncy blow-dries or defined tonged curls, you're in the right place.
Time Commitment
Expect to spend approximately 2 hours at your appointment. We take great care in drying your curls, which alone can take around an hour, ensuring we bring out their full potential.
Investment:
The Curl-Focused Cut is £175, which includes a personalised consultation, a tailored cut, wash, and dry, as well as expert guidance on maintaining your curls at home. You'll also receive 4 x 100 ml products chosen specifically for your hair type, a curl detangle brush, and detailed instructions on how to use these products for the best results.
Preparation:
Please arrive with freshly washed, air-dried hair—no products, no styling! This helps us assess your natural curl pattern.
Future Appointments:
Once you've experienced the full two-hour curly cutting service, follow-up appointments will be quicker and easier. Your next appointments will focus on the cut only and take just an hour, priced at £75, without blow-drying or products.
For those who prefer a shorter service, we also offer a dry cut appointment, lasting an hour, for £50. You can purchase the same products used during your initial appointment to continue maintaining your curls at home.
Ongoing Care:
To keep your curls looking their best, we recommend scheduling a curly cut every six months. This will keep your hair healthy, well-shaped, and easy to manage, allowing you to confidently embrace your natural curls all year round.
Understanding Your Curl Type
Curly hair isn't one-size-fits-all; it comes in various textures and patterns. The most common classification system includes:
Type 2 (Wavy): Loose, S-shaped waves with a soft texture.
Type 3 (Curly): Defined curls that can range from loose loops to tight spirals.
Type 4 (Coily/Kinky): Tightly coiled curls that often form zig-zags or small ringlets.
Knowing your curl type helps in choosing the right products and techniques to enhance your natural curl pattern.
The Importance of Moisture
Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair because natural oils struggle to travel down the twists and turns of the hair shaft. To keep your curls hydrated:
Use a sulphate-free shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils.
Deep condition regularly to replenish moisture.
Incorporate leave-in conditioners and oils to lock in hydration.
Styling Techniques for Defined Curls
Achieving defined curls often requires the right technique and a bit of patience:
Plopping: After washing, wrap your hair in a microfibre towel or cotton T-shirt to encourage curl formation and reduce frizz.
Scrunching: Use a curl-defining gel or cream, and scrunch your hair upwards to enhance curl definition.
Diffusing: A diffuser attachment on your hairdryer can help dry your curls without disturbing their natural shape.
Avoiding Common Curly Hair Mistakes
To keep your curls healthy and bouncy, avoid these common pitfalls:
Over-washing: Washing too often can strip your hair of essential moisture. Aim for 1-2 times a week.
Using too much heat: Excessive heat styling can damage your curls, leading to frizz and breakage. Try air-drying or using a low heat setting.
Skipping trims: Regular trims help prevent split ends and keep your curls looking fresh and lively.
Product Recommendations
Finding the right products can make all the difference in your curl routine. Here are some salon favourites:
For Moisture: Look for deep conditioning masks that target dryness and frizz, like shea butter or coconut oil-based products.
For Definition: A curl-enhancing cream or gel helps in maintaining curl shape and fighting frizz.
For Refreshing: A lightweight curl refresher spray can revive your curls between washes.
Caring for curly hair is all about understanding its needs and embracing its natural beauty.
With the right products, techniques, and mindset, you can rock your curls with confidence and style.
At Allure Salon, we're here to help you on your curly hair journey, offering expert advice and top-tier products tailored to your curls.

FAQs
1. What is the Curly Cut Experience?
The Curly Cut Experience at Allure Salon is a specialised service designed to enhance and embrace natural curls. Our skilled stylists use techniques tailored specifically for curly and textured hair, ensuring your curls look their best and maintain their health.
2. How is a Curly Cut different from a traditional haircut?
A curly cut focuses on working with each curl’s natural shape and texture, cutting curls individually to create a balanced, flattering look. Traditional haircuts often focus on blunt lines, which may not suit curly hair as it can cause frizz and uneven shapes. Our curly cuts are all about enhancing your curls' natural beauty and helping them fall naturally.
3. Do I need to prepare my hair before the Curly Cut?
Yes, to get the best results, please come with your hair freshly washed, detangled, and dry, styled as you typically wear it. This helps our stylists see your natural curl pattern and cut accordingly.
4. What is the '2-Week Allure Promise'?
We want you to feel confident in your Curly Cut Experience. That’s why we offer our '2-Week Allure Promise' – if you have any concerns with your cut within two weeks of your appointment, come back in, and we’ll be happy to make adjustments free of charge. Your satisfaction is our priority!
5. How long does the Curly Cut Experience take?
Curly cuts generally take a bit longer than traditional cuts because we work on each curl individually, allowing us to shape your hair precisely. Your appointment will typically last 1 to 1.5 hours.
6. Will I receive any styling tips during my appointment?
Yes! Our stylists will walk you through techniques and recommend products that work well for curly hair, ensuring you leave with the knowledge to care for and style your curls at home.
7. Can I book with any stylist for the Curly Cut Experience?
Our team includes stylists specially trained in curly cutting techniques. When you book, please let us know you’re interested in the Curly Cut Experience so we can ensure the right stylist is available for your appointment.
