Best hairdresser for curly hair?

fiali · 29-09-2010 05:13PM

I only get my hair cut this one girl in this one small salon in my hometwon of Clonmel. I have had so many curly hair cut disastersss- Peter Mark being the absolute worst. It was just so shocking it's distressing to remember! Usually though if you look at the products that the salons sell it will give you a good indication of the way you will get your hair cut. For example I find that the best products for curly hair are those from Tigi. They have a few curly ranges and I have all to be excellent. If I was stuck for a cut and I couldn't get home to Clonmel I find somewhere that sells Tigi products. They generally have got training from the company and understand how to cut different types of hair. Apparently they have offer Tigi qualifications where a stylist completes a course in a certain product range. For example my hairdresser is the only person in the salon 'qualified' to cut curly hair. She has completed all the Tigi curl courses. She knows how to cut the hair and to use the products properly (unlike PM who just literally sprayed a whole can of moose in my hair(I never use moose) and stuck me under the drier!)

For anyone with really curly hair, go to Niamh at Pink in Galway. I am from America and used to having a lot of curly hair specialists to pick from. I hadn't had the same luck here but I'm telling you, this girl knows what she is doing. I drove 2 hours, from Clare, to get my haircut because I had heard such great things. I will be coming up every 6-8 weeks for my haircut. I have VERY thick, very curly hair (not ringlets).... she thinned it perfectly, layered it (not too much of course), and took length off. I am VERY happy. Plus, 40 euro - not too shabby

I used 2 hate getting my hair cut because my curly hair always ended up looking like a frizzy mess but i tried going 2 gerard paul in goasttown dublin and they seemed 2 really know what 2 do with curly hair. I had the habit of just sticking wit a boring hair style as i didnt think that there was that much you could do with hair as curly as mine but they gave me a completly new look and i luv it! It wasnt expensive either. There is a 20% discount from mon-wed for students so i ended up only paying 36 euro!:D
Would defo recommend 2 every1 wit curly hair!

OMG I tried Gerard Paul & all i can say is 'absolute disaster'. half a year later & I'm still trying to grow out the disaster. I def wouldn't recommend this place for curly hair

Got my hair cut in Natural Cut Wicklow Street on Saturday based on threads on boards.ie. I'm am thrilled with the outcome. I have very long curly hair and have been trying to transition my natural curls back after years of heat damage from hair straighteners (used when wet) and chemical straightening when I was younger. The top half of my head is curly but the ends were only wavy. I've been dying to fly off to New York to get the DevaChan hair cut my pocket didn’t allow so I booked to get my hair cut with Oliver after reading good reviews.
I was a little apprentice at first as he started to comb the end of my dry curls... ehhhh no no to naturals but the cut is amazing. He got rid of all the straight wavy ends and my curls just popped into place! Little shorter than I initially wanted but two days later and still LOVE my newly popped ringlets :-) I never get day two hair!! My hair has never looked so healthy and the curls are so defined. (Granted as a self-confessed curl junky I did buy a hair steamer during the week so this may have added moisture back to my hair). Overall I am Extremely pleased with the cut - no bun to work today instead nice curls! I have been going to Peter marks for years but they really haven’t a clue. Any hairdressers who insists on washing your hair first to cut curls and then make you blow dry your hair leaving are a disgrace! Will definitely go back to Natural cut. Curly hair needs to be cut dry so thanks to Natural Cut for providing this service and Oliver for a great cut J

I've been so traumatised by the worst hair ever at Gerard Paul's. 11 months on & I'm still trying to grow it out - I think it might be time to try these guys out.

I have VERY thick! curly/wavy hair depending on length..DO NOT go to Peter Mark they are a disaster..I asked the girl in question if she was used to dealing with curly hair she said yes ......well its a load of rubbish took a year before I could even think about getting a trim such a bad cut!!!

I need to find someone who can cut my son's tight ringlets this summer. He wears it in a kind of floppy wild afro. We will be in Clonmel, but anywhere closer than Dublin would be wonderful.

Hi,

I have extremely curly hair and it's in need of a good haircut but I don't have much cash at the moment.
I was wondering if anyone with similar hair has tried any of the 'budget' saloons in Dublin City?
Any recommendations would be appreciated

Many thanks.

"Spectrum" in Irishtown - Caroline is the girl I go to.

Thank you sooooooooooo much ! I was contemplating driving up to Dublin ! I am Jamaican and my husband is Irish, so our kids have wild ringlets ! My son has had some horrendous haircuts, so I really wanted a recommendation. Ta again, Stevie

Saorenza · 27-06-2012 04:28PM

No recommendations but +1 to avoid PM. I was actually told by a girl in there I didn't have curly hair!

hi OP

I have medium thick curly hair and I have been going to a woman called Jean in Mane on south william st in Dublin 2 for about 4 years now- she is brilliant and she talks you through it before and during- she is the only hairdresser I have found that can layer my hair properly

HeadOfCurls · 07-07-2012 09:40PM

I'd love to know of a really good hairdresser for curly hair in the Dublin 15 area if anyone knows of one please:)

stevie57 · 12-07-2012 03:41PM

Thank you, thank you, thank you....My son has just had the best haircut of his life by Caroline at Spectrum in Clonmel. That Tigi cutting technique is amazing...it just falls in ringlets...unveleivable !
