Curls and Colour by Sammie

Referral draw announcement

Thankyou all so much for your referrals 💖and recommendations to your lovely friends and family

Have a great bank holiday weekend everyone

Never had a curly cut before?

You might be wondering…

“Will they actually understand my curls?”

“Do I need to arrive with my hair styled?”

“What if my curls don’t all behave the same?”

“Will they cut it wet or dry?”

“Will I be told I need loads of products?”

And honestly, these are exactly the conversations I want to have with you.

Your first curly appointment should feel like an education, not an interrogation.

I’ll look at your curl pattern, density, condition, lifestyle, current routine and what you actually want from your hair.

Then we create a plan together.

There’s no one-size-fits-all curly routine.

Because there’s no one-size-fits-all curly girl.

If you’re ready to understand your curls rather than fight them, I’d love to help.

Your curls are the beauty

One of the biggest misconceptions I see with curly hair is that it needs to be straightened before we can really see what we’re working with.

I completely disagree.

Your natural texture tells me so much.

The way your curls move.
Where they sit.
How they shrink.
Where your density changes.
How they behave when they’re hydrated.
And what they naturally want to do.

That information is incredibly valuable.

So when you come to me for a curly cut or colour, I want to see your hair as it really is.

Because the goal isn’t to make your curls behave like straight hair.

The goal is to help you understand, care for and love the hair you naturally have.

And that’s exactly what I’m here for. 🤎

Curly hair shouldn’t be scary

I know why some hairdressers feel a little nervous when a curly-haired client walks through the door.

Curly hair doesn’t behave like straight hair. It has its own movement, pattern, density, shrinkage and personality — and you need to understand all of those things to work with it confidently.

That’s why curly hair became my speciality.

I don’t believe your curls need to be straightened so I can cut or colour them. Your natural texture is part of what makes your hair beautiful.

Whether you’re having your very first curly cut, you’ve finally mastered your home routine, or you’re simply looking for a second opinion…

I’m here to educate, support and create a plan that works for your curls, your lifestyle and your routine.

Your curls aren’t something to work around.

They’re something to work with. 🤎

People often ask me why I chose to become a curl specialist.

The honest answer?

Because I understand the frustration.

I’ve spent years trying products that didn’t work, following advice that wasn’t right for my hair and feeling like curly hair was somehow more difficult than everyone else’s.

The more I learned, the more I realised the problem wasn’t curly hair.

The problem was that curly women weren’t being given the right information.

That’s why I do what I do.

I want women to leave my chair understanding their curls, feeling confident in them and knowing exactly how to care for them in a way that works for their lifestyle.

Because your curls aren’t the problem.

They just need someone who understands them.
