Birmingham

Spring is in the Hair, 18 Caroline Street, Birmingham, West Midlands B3 1TR.

If you’ve got curls, coils or waves, then Matthew James is your go-to stylist!

Matt specialises in cutting, styling and caring for naturally curly hair.
In fact, he loves curls so much he focusses solely on cutting and styling textured tresses – the first stylist to do this in the UK.
Matthew is committed to giving his customers the best experience possible and will always start every appointment with a thorough consultation. If you love colour ask Matthew about the bespoke, curl-by-curl colour service to really make your curls pop!
Curl specific products are used in the salon to cleanse, hydrate and style – so no need to worry about harsh sulphates stripping your curls or silicones sealing out moisture!

Klassic Koncept, 9 Lower Severn Street, Birmingham B1 1PU

At Klassic Koncept we are very happy dealing with all types of afro, natural and mixed race hair and have a wealth of personal experience and expertise to pass on to you.

Mixed race hair in particular and curly hair in general can vary in curl pattern and texture all over the head. Hair at the nape maybe very different from hair at the crown. What is required is attention to detail and careful analysis as the various areas of the hair will need to be treated and conditioned in different ways. We are confident that how we work with your hair will allow you to manage it and wear it with pride.

Whether you want to “Embrace your bounce”, straighten or colour we can guide you in the right direction. We won’t be judgemental about whether you want to be curly or straight – it’s your hair and a beautiful accessory, not a political statement. We also don’t get too hung up on curl types, it makes no sense when the hair varies from one area to the next. It’s sometimes useful as a general description but serves no purpose in the actual decision with what to do with your hair. Far more important is the texture and with mixed race hair a common error is that often density is taken for coarseness, when in fact the exact opposite is true. Each head of hair is individual and what works for one may not work for another.

Cyrl Cymru, 3 Alexandra Road, Aberystwyth, SY23 1LE

Richards Curl Journey began when a client introduced him to the British Curlies forum. Here he found a community that shared tips and techniques to care for and get the best out of their curls, as well as discussing how hard it is to find a hairdresser who understands their hair and is able to cut Curly hair. Richard realised a large group of people were being overlooked in the hair industry because of their hair type. He became frustrated by the lack of training that is available for Curly hair. Wanting to be able to cater for all hair types Richard was so pleased to find Mathew James, from Spring Salon in Birmingham, who was offering training on cutting Curly hair, so he jumped at the chance to attend. On the course Richard learnt so much and felt so inspired. He carried on his learning at home by reading and researching as much as he could about Curly Hair. Richard is now able to cut and style Curly hair and provide tips and advice on how to look after and style all types of Curly hair.

You’d be amazed how often clients with naturally curly hair have come to us in despair of ever finding someone who can deal with their hair type. The level of bounce and the texture of naturally curly hair can throw a few curve-balls at you!

However, we LOVE curly hair and all its challenges. In fact if you know what you’re doing it’s not so much of a challenge.

Scott – our resident curl expert says : ” With curls you have to take into account that the overall shape of the style may change depending on how curly the hair is on that particular day and also that the client might want to also wear their hair straight so you still need precision cutting – I often cut curly hair dry, so I can see the shape that I want to end with – then I get the hair cleansed and treated and go for the detail of the cut.”
