Finding the ideal salon for a curly haircut is essential to ensuring your curls look and feel their best – but can be incredibly difficult. Our experts recommend taking the following ideas into consideration on your search:

• Look for salons explicitly identifying as specialists in curly cuts and styling. If they’re worth their salt, they’ll likely shout about it. Curly cutting is no small USP after all!
• Keep your standards high. The best results will come from experienced stylists who have undergone specialised training in cutting and styling curly hair.
• Seek out salons with positive reviews from clients with similar hair types and pay attention to their expertise in handling various curl patterns.
• Ensure you’re able to arrange a consultation, during which your hair type, curl pattern, and personal preferences should be discussed.

• Browse the salon’s website or social media in order to discover the services they offer, and what their specialisms are.

• Consultations are key. Salons offering in-depth consultations are likely to produce results in line with your goals and expectations.

Finding the best haircut and style for a head full of curly hair can be a tricky task – but the end result is always worth it!

Our experts advise that unlocking the right look for you is all about embracing your unique curls – meaning their pattern, type, and texture all come into play. Having a full understanding of exactly what you’re working with will guide you towards a style that enhances your hair’s natural movement and shape. Of course, your facial features can also influence your final choice – be sure to note things like your face shape before deciding on a final style.

Curls can range from loose waves to tight coils, each requiring a different approach to maximise their potential. Unsure of your curl type? Why not book in with a stylist for a consultation?

Your perfect haircut is determined by your unique features and lifestyle – meaning there’s no one size fits all answer to the question ‘Which haircut would suit me?’

One of the most important determining aspects of suitability is face shape. Whether oval, round, square, heart, or diamond, this key feature plays a vital role in identifying a flattering haircut. A skilled stylist will be able to suggest styles set to accentuate your best features and create balance.

In addition, it’s essential to take into account your hair type and texture, whether it’s straight, wavy, curly, fine, or thick. The right haircut will enhance its natural qualities.

Finally, consider your personal style and lifestyle when selecting a haircut. Your chosen style should reflect your personality and be easy to maintain in your daily routine.

Considering your face shape is a vital step to take when choosing a hairstyle to suit you.

Working with a gorgeous round face? Our team recommend opting for hairstyles designed to create length, structure, and ultimately, balance. Styles that elongate the face, such as layered or asymmetrical cuts, are commonly used to bring attention to the facial features of those with round shapes. Long hairstyles with face-framing layers or short styles like angled bobs or pixie cuts with height at the crown also work well.

Of course, this advice is by no means a set of rules. The best hairstyle for you is one you look and feel good in!

Although there’s no one ideal frequency for haircuts, our team recommend booking into the salon approximately every 4 to 8 weeks in order to maintain shape and prevent split ends. Of course, your exact timeline will depend on your hair type, growth rate, style, and preferences.

If you have a short hairstyle, more frequent visits to the salon might be necessary to retain its shape and length. On the other hand, if you’re growing your hair out or have long, healthy locks, you may be able to extend the time between trims to 8 to 12 weeks.

Hairy Ministry’s expert stylists will be happy to advise you on how often you should book in for trims in order to maintain your current style during your appointment.

The cost of haircuts in the UK can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, salon reputation, stylist experience, and the complexity of your desired style. Some salons work on a stylist experience tier system, with individual services priced at two or more points depending on who is chosen to carry out the cut.

At Hair Ministry, we pride ourselves on our fair, transparent pricing policy. To view the costs of each of our services, log in to our online booking software, or click on our price list page above.

A blow dry, also known as a blowout, is a salon-based styling technique. It involves using a hairdryer and various brushes to shape and style your hair while it’s still damp. The result can be determined by your individual preferences – with most salons offering either a straight or curly/bouncy final finish.

During a blow dry, your stylist will use a hairdryer and a round, paddle, or vented brush to dry your hair section by section. This process helps create lift at the roots, add volume, and eliminate frizz, giving your hair a salon-fresh appearance.

Of course, the ideal hairstyle for your thick hair depends on your unique preferences. The key is to select a haircut that works with your hair’s texture and suits your face shape and personal style.

If you’re looking to reduce bulk subtly, layers can be a great choice. Long layers can add movement and dimension, while shorter layers can create texture and minimise the appearance of excess thickness.

For a bold look, our stylists may recommend an undercut or an asymmetrical cut, which can add an edgy touch while reducing volume.
