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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne 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.
