The Curly Cut Experience

At The Cutting Room, we offer the specialist 3C Curly Cutting Method
— a precision-led approach designed specifically for curly, coily, and textured hair.

Unlike traditional cuts, this technique respects the unique movement, shrinkage, and growth patterns of every curl type, resulting in a beautifully balanced shape, definition, and confidence that lasts well beyond the salon.

This isn’t just a haircut — it’s a complete shift in how curls are cared for, shaped, and celebrated!

What is the Curly Cut Experience?

What you can expect

The Curly Cut Experience is a specialist service designed for curly, coily, and textured hair. It uses a precision dry-cutting method that works with your natural curl pattern - not against it - to create shape, definition and softness tailored to you.

After the dry cut, your hair is carefully cleansed and conditioned using curl-specific techniques. We then prepare it for styling with the right products and moisture balance, followed by brush work to form defined curl clumps and gentle diffusing to enhance your natural shape. Every step is personalised to support the health, movement, and beauty of your curls.

Why is the cut done on dry hair?
Curly hair behaves differently when it’s wet. By cutting your hair dry, we can see the natural curl pattern, understand how it falls and shrinks, and tailor the shape curl by curl. It results in a more balanced, flattering, and longer-lasting finish.

  • A full consultation to understand your curls, lifestyle, and hair goals

  • Curl-by-curl dry cutting to sculpt the ideal shape

  • A professional cleanse and conditioning ritual using curl-friendly products
