How to choose a curly hair specialist in Ballarat

Most generalist hairdressers cut curls wet, which removes weight you need and creates a triangle shape when the hair dries. A trained curly specialist in Ballarat cuts dry, curl by curl, often using the Rezo or DevaCut method. They also understand low-poo washing, the curly girl method, and how to gloss curls without weighing them down.

What to look for

  • Dry cutting technique — cut on dry, styled curls (not wet)
  • Method match (Rezo, DevaCut, or Aussie freehand curly)
  • Curl-typing knowledge (2A through 4C) — and the willingness to actually look at yours
  • Curly-specific aftercare advice and product recommendation
  • Recent reviews from curly clients (not the regular salon clients)

Curly cutters in Ballarat need scissors that hold a fine edge for chip and slide cutting on dry hair. ShearGenius supplies Japanese Hitachi ATS-314 scissors with Australia-wide mail-in sharpening.
