A Curly Hair Cut & Style is a curl-led appointment designed to improve shape, definition and manageability without losing the movement that makes curls look their best. You’ll leave with a balanced cut, a clean outline, and a finished style that suits your curl pattern and day-to-day routine.

More information

What this service covers

This appointment is designed for short to shoulder-length curls and focuses on creating a shape that works with your natural pattern.

A consultation to agree your goal, shape and styling preferences
Targeted trimming and reshaping to remove bulk where needed and add balance
Clean outline and curl-by-curl refinement where helpful
Wash and curl-focused styling to enhance definition
Finishing guidance so you can recreate the result at home

Who it’s for

This is ideal if your curls have lost their shape, feel uneven, or are harder to style as they grow. It suits clients who want consistent results and a cut that looks good on office days as well as weekends. If your hair is longer than shoulder length or you want a big change, you may need a longer appointment.

What happens in the appointment

You’ll start with a quick discussion about your curl pattern, shrinkage, how you wear your hair, and the level of volume you like. The cut is built to respect how curls sit when dry, then refined through cleansing and styling for a finished result. Allow up to 90 minutes depending on density, curl type and the finish you choose.

Aftercare and keeping your shape

You’ll get practical advice on refresh days, drying methods, and how to reduce frizz without weighing curls down. Most people benefit from a maintenance cut every 8 to 12 weeks to keep the outline strong and the shape balanced. If you colour your hair, timing your cut around colour appointments can help the overall finish look more intentional.

My second time at McCrory Hair and I had yet another fantastic experience. Alison was great at explaining what cut she thought was best to do and why on my wavy/curly hair. I had a lovely relaxing appointment and will be back!

I've been for a couple of curly cuts with Vicky and have been really pleased each time. She takes the time to listen and discuss what I want & what she is doing and she has really shown an interest in the Curly Girl method and cuts. Vicky is lovely as are the rest of the staff, the salon is gorgeous and conveniently located and the service is great value. I would highly recommend.

I can't recommend this place enough. I have curly hair and always struggled finding somewhere that cuts my hair well. These guys listen to what you want and deliver every time. The service is spot on from beginning to end and I always leave very satisfied with what I've paid for. It's clear that they are very customer focused and the standard is always high.

I have curly hair and wear my hair in a pixie cut, and John and Vicky both do fantastic jobs at keeping my cut fresh evey month. The atmosphere in the shop is relaxed and lovely.

Excellent service. The only hairdressers I've been to that knows how to cut curly hair and that offers products consistent with the CG routine (sulfate and silicone free). On Fridays they have an offer on a cut and style for £27 which makes them a lot more accessible to students

Have been getting my curly hair cut by Vicky at Hepburn for a couple of years now. Vicky really knows what she's doing when it comes to curly hair and I'm always pleased with the results. Everyone in the salon is friendly and the place has a relaxed vibe, and prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend, especially if you've got curly hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this appointment suitable for all curl types?

It is designed for curls, coils and textured patterns, focusing on shape and definition. If your hair is longer than shoulder length or you want a major restyle, book a longer option so there is enough time.

What should I do before my curly cut?

Arrive with your hair detangled and wearing it as you normally would, with minimal heavy oils or butters. If you use strong hold products, a lighter wash day can help your curl pattern be assessed more clearly.

Will my curls look shorter after the cut?

Curls naturally spring up once weight is removed, so some shrinkage is normal. Your stylist will factor this in during consultation so the final length feels comfortable and intentional.

What’s included in the finish and styling?

The finish is aimed at enhancing your natural curl pattern with definition and a wearable shape. You’ll see product placement, drying approach, and simple tips you can repeat at home.

Do I need to pay a deposit to book?

A booking deposit is taken to secure the appointment and is refunded on the day of your visit. If you need to change plans, check the cancellation terms at the time of booking so you know where you stand.
