Curly Hair Cuts

Your Curly Hair Specialist for Luton and Ampthill

Curly hair can seem to have a mind of its own – and that’s exactly why it needs a different approach.

At Steve Hilliard Hairdressing, curly hair isn’t forced into a formula or cut using a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, it’s cut with care, experience, and a deep understanding of how curls actually behave in real life.

Steve is our resident curly hair expert. After decades in the industry, he’s honed his skills by working with every curl type imaginable – from loose waves to tight, spiral curls. His approach is simple and effective by looking at the natural movement of your hair, your individual curl pattern, and how your hair grows and sits, then working with it.

The goal is always curls that sit better, move naturally, and are more manageable day to day.

Curly Hair Cuts: Your Questions Answered

Do you use a specific curly cutting method?

Rather than following a named method, Steve relies on years of experience and observation. Every head of curly hair behaves differently, so the cut is always tailored to your curls, not a technique.

Will my curls shrink after cutting?

Curls can spring up as they dry, which is why understanding curl pattern and natural movement is so important. Your cut is planned with this in mind, so you don’t end up with surprises once you style your hair at home.

Is this suitable for all curl types?

Yes. Whether your hair is loosely wavy, tightly coiled, or somewhere in between, the cut is adapted to suit how your hair naturally grows and falls.

Do you cut curly hair dry or wet?

This depends on your hair, your curl pattern, and the end result we’re working towards. The focus is always on how your hair will look and behave once you’re wearing it, not just how it looks in the chair.

Will you show me how to style my curls at home?

Absolutely. You’ll leave knowing how to care for and style your curls so they keep their shape between appointments.
