Phoenix Curly Hair Specialist

Curly cuts that
work when they dry.

Curly, coily, and wavy hair can change shape as it dries, so the starting pattern matters. Rachel is a DevaCurl Advanced Stylist who looks at the pattern you wear before choosing a technique. Tell her how your curls settle after a wash, where the shape feels heavy, and what you want to change.

The Method

Why curls deserve a different kind of cut.

01

See the pattern first

Curl patterns can spring, stretch, and settle differently as they move between wet and dry. Seeing how yours usually sits gives Rachel useful context before the cut begins.

02

Choose the cut for your pattern

Density, direction, shrinkage, current shape, and styling routine all matter. Rachel adapts the approach instead of forcing every texture through one cutting formula.

03

Plan for real wash days

Tell Rachel how your curls settle after washing and which parts you tend to tuck behind your ears. Those details help her plan a shape you can wear at home.

04

Place color for movement

Curls and waves catch light differently as they move. Rachel considers texture and existing color when recommending placement, formula, and service timing.

Pattern First

Start with the curls
you wear at home.

Texture changes with water, tension, products, styling, weather, and time. That is why the consultation starts with the pattern you usually wear instead of an assumption that every curl needs the same technique.

Rachel uses her DevaCurl training to plan around your texture. Depending on the shape and how you wear it, she may use dry, wet, or combined cutting. Ask how she wants your hair prepared.

Color follows the same principle. Texture affects where dimension is visible, so Rachel considers movement and existing color before recommending custom color, gloss, or another service from the live menu.

Common Questions

Curly hair, answered.

Do you cut curly hair?

Yes. Rachel is a DevaCurl Advanced Stylist and works with curls, coils, and waves. She begins by looking at the pattern you wear and then chooses a cutting approach for your hair and goal.

What's different about a curl-aware haircut?

Curls spring back as they dry, and different parts of the hair may curl in different ways. Rachel looks at that pattern and how you wear it. Ask which cutting method fits your hair.

How much does a curly haircut cost?

The current haircut menu lists Men’s Haircut at $50 for 60 minutes and Womens Haircut & Style at $90 for 90 minutes. Ask Rachel which appointment fits your curl pattern, length, and goal before you choose.

Should I come with my hair washed or styled?

Let Rachel see how your curls usually sit. Avoid straightening them just before the visit. Ask about washing and products if you are unsure how to prepare.

Can you cut my hair if it's wavy, not curly?

Wavy hair is welcome. Rachel will look at your pattern, density, current shape, and routine before recommending a technique.

Do you do color on curly hair?

Yes. Rachel offers custom color, gloss, and other color services. She plans the light and dark pieces around your curls and starting shade. New color clients start with the $20 consultation.

How often should I get my curly hair cut?

Ask Rachel when to return for the shape you choose. Your length, curl pattern, and daily routine all affect how the cut grows out.

A cut built around
the texture you wear.

Bring your natural pattern, your routine, and the shape you want to discuss. Rachel will help match those details to the right haircut option and technique.
