Every curly-haired person has had the experience of sitting in a stylist’s chair and receiving a cut that left their hair flat and lifeless — because cutting curly hair is a completely different animal from other hair textures. But in recent years, all that has changed. Today, there is an army of stylists who specialize in all curl patterns and types, and even entire salons that are devoted to curly hair cuts and treatments. We’ve rounded up hair salons in the North Jersey area that specialize in cutting curly hair — along with individual hair stylists throughout the area who are curly-hair experts. Read on to find some of the best curly salons and stylists in our area.
