Curly Hair Specialists in Raleigh

Look for a stylist who assesses your specific curl pattern before cutting, is comfortable cutting dry as well as wet, and talks through your styling routine and product use rather than applying a generic approach to every curl type. A real consultation before the cut begins is one of the clearest signs of genuine curly-hair experience.

This usually comes down to the cut being planned around how hair looks wet or pulled straight, rather than accounting for how your specific curls spring back once dry. Cutting against the grain of a curl pattern is also a common cause of a frizzy, uneven finish.

Yes, though color-treated or previously damaged curly hair benefits from a closer consultation, since curl pattern and hair condition both affect how color processes and how the finished cut holds its shape. Your stylist will assess this specifically before recommending a plan.

Yes, Sunday Salon offers hair treatments using Davines, Detox, and Virtue formulas to support hydration, which is often recommended alongside a curly haircut for clients wanting extra moisture and definition.

To give you the best possible cut, we need to see your curls in their true, natural element! Please arrive with your hair completely dry, down, and detangled. Style it exactly how you normally wear it with your standard products, but please avoid heavy oils, gels, or pulling your hair back into clips, ponytails, or buns. This allows your stylist to accurately analyze your natural curl pattern, shrinkage, and shape before the scissors ever come out.

We customize our approach based on your specific texture and goals, but we primarily specialize in dry, curl-by-curl cutting. Curly hair naturally shrinks and changes shape when it dries. By cutting your hair while it's dry and in its natural resting state, we completely eliminate the dreaded "triangle shape" and ensure your hair is never cut too short. Once the initial shape is carved out, we will treat you to a luxurious wash and specialized styling session, followed by final dry-cut refinements.

We proudly celebrate and specialize in all textures! From loose 2A beachy waves to tight, beautiful 4C coils, our team understands the unique hydration, styling, and cutting techniques required for every single point on the curl spectrum. We know that no two curl patterns are exactly alike (even on the same head of hair!), and your stylist will work with you to understand your specific hair history, goals, and daily routine.

We have two pricing levels, Master and Stylist. These levels are based on years of experience and advanced education.

We strive to provide upfront and clear pricing without any hidden fees. Our services are à la carte with all optional add-on services clearly defined. For instance, booking an appointment for a color service will have a listed price for either Master or Stylist level. You may choose to add optional add-on services.

If your stylist believes that you may need additional color product to achieve your desired finished look, based on the density and length of your hair, we will communicate this up-front during your consultation, and provide an accurate price quote before services begin to ensure that there are no surprises at checkout.

In order to achieve the best results for your hair, we believe that during a color service, all of the hair needs to be treated, which is why all of our color services include a gloss, which is also commonly known as a “glaze” or “toner.”

Our services are à la carte and have allotted durations. If you are uncertain of what to book, looking for a big change, have extra long or thick hair, or in need of corrective work, we highly recommend scheduling a complimentary in-person or start virtual consultation to ensure that you are scheduled with enough time to complete your desired services.
