Short Curly Haircuts in Abingdon

Every curly haircut is different. Through our consultative approach, we discuss your likes and dislikes, face shape, what would suit you, what you hope to achieve and everything in between. Our team uses precise cutting and styling techniques tailored to curly hair, to showcase your short curls in the best way possible. Come and see us for a consultation and a curly haircut.

What makes short curly hair a challenge for most stylists?

A lot of hairdressers can’t cut short hair, and most can’t cut curly hair — so combine the two and you have a genuinely challenging haircut. The texture of curly hair differs from client to client, and many stylists simply lack the hands-on exposure to it. On top of that, curly hair sits differently wet versus dry — more so than straight hair — which makes the final length hard to predict after cutting. Its natural elasticity makes the curls bounce up, so it takes careful planning to anticipate how the hair will behave.

Why are short curly haircuts so popular?

People with curly hair deserve the same range of options as anyone else. More curly-hair specialist salons are available now to meet growing demand — and the ever-present dissatisfaction with what most salons offer. After all, cutting short hair and cutting curly hair each call for a completely different skill set, so combining them is more specialist still.

Your Questions, Answered

Frequently asked.

If I know my curl pattern, will that help you cut, colour or style my hair?+

Yes. Understanding your curl pattern opens up more options across cuts, colours and styles that enhance your natural texture, and lets us take a more targeted approach to your hair.

Will my stylist know what I mean when I describe my curl type?+

Yes — our stylists specialise in curly hair, so they understand curl patterns and how your hair behaves, from a lot of hands-on experience working with curls.

My hair is lots of different curls and doesn't fit one pattern. Is that a problem?+

Not at all — it's more common than you'd think. With longer hair especially, the extra weight and volume mean curls can "fall out", so you often carry several patterns at once: straighter sections, tighter ringlets and looser ones.

Can you colour curly hair?+

Yes — bookings can be made on our online platform. Your skin test also doubles as a consultation, so we can talk through any curly-hair questions before your appointment.
