What Is Curly & Textured Hair Cuts?
Curly hair cutting involves specialized techniques such as dry cutting, curl-by-curl shaping, and strategic layering that accounts for how curls behave when dry. Unlike wet cutting, which can produce uneven results on curly hair, these methods ensure every curl falls beautifully.
At Meraki Salon in Mountainside, NJ, we assess your curl type, density, and desired shape before making any cuts. This individualized approach ensures results that look amazing whether you style your curls or let them air-dry.

What Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Should curly hair be cut wet or dry?
We typically cut curly hair dry so we can see exactly how each curl falls and behaves. This produces the most accurate, flattering results.
How often should I cut my curly hair?
Every 8–12 weeks is ideal for maintaining shape and health. If you are growing your hair out, we recommend trims every 12–16 weeks to prevent split ends.
Do you work with all curl types?
Yes! We work with all curl patterns from loose waves (2A) to tight coils (4C). Each curl type requires a different approach, and our stylists are trained in them all.
