If you’re a guy with curly hair and you’ve only ever gone to a barber, this one’s for you!

My team and I help a lot of guys here at the salon, from kids to teens, all the way up to grown men. So, we know the struggle to find a place that specializes in barbering and curly haircuts for men in Jacksonville, FL. 

And honestly? That’s normal. They don’t teach much about curl patterns in barber school, and they don’t teach much about fades and tapering in cosmetology school. But I believe you deserve to feel good about your curls and keep your daily routine easy. 

Your curls are part of who you are. If you’re ready to embrace them, go for it. Whether you want long voluminous curls or a clean fade with texture on top, you don’t have to keep settling.

You Don’t Have to Choose Between a Barber or Your Curls

There’s nothing wrong with going to a barber. That’s what most of my male clients did for years before a friend (or their significant other) told them about us. It’s when you start wanting to let your curls grow out, or keep the fade but leave a little curl on top, that it’s time to get some curl education and find someone who knows how to cut for your curl pattern.

Don’t worry, though. You don’t have to go to both a barber and a curl specialist. We do barbering and curly hair here! 

There are two of us here who specialize in men’s curly haircuts. Myself (hey, I’m Naya!) and Marylin.

I spent years teaching myself after cosmetology school. Marylin’s cosmetology background is actually in barbering. So, men’s curly haircuts are genuinely her jam, even more so than me!

Whether you want a clean fade with longer curls on top or a tapered cut that keeps your length, you’re getting someone who can do both expertly. No need to go to a barber and a curly hair salon, or choose between easy haircuts and your curls. 

Let’s Talk Men’s Curly Hair Products And Easy Maintenance

We all want easy hair maintenance. There’s a lot of stigma around curly hair – that it’s hard to maintain and that you need a ton of products. Women get that same scare, too. The good news? It’s not true.

When you sit in our chair, tell us how much effort you want to put in. We’ll listen. 

If you want one product, you can pop in during/after your shower and go? I’ve got recommendations for that. 

You want to start growing your curls out and seeing shiny, healthy hair like my friend Kevin here?

He has a little routine that lets him only have to do his hair once a week.

Have a little one you want to look good, but they’re still kind of wiggly? I have a little one too. I’ll teach you how to do his hair even on the days he’s ready to run and play.

Curly hair does not mean more work. It just means finding the right products for the style and effort you want to put into it. 

What to Expect When You Come Into The Salon

Coming into our Jacksonville curly hair salon feels different than a barbershop…and I mean that in the best way. New clients always come in for a Signature Curl Experience first. That’s where we sit down and go over products, styling, education, and how you want your hair to look. 

Then we do your haircut, get you shampooed, do a relaxing scalp massage (because guys deserve to relax too), and show you how to style your hair as we go. We even have snacks and drinks! 

It’s a totally different experience. You’ll go home with 1-2 product recommendations and a haircut you actually feel good in. 

After that, maintenance looks different depending on your hair length.

A good rule of thumb:

• Longer curls — Guys with more length typically come in every four months for the full experience, shampoo, scalp massage, cut, and styling
• Fades and shorter styles — If you like keeping your shape tight and fresh, plan on coming in every two to four weeks
• Just need a quick cut? — Our Express Curly Cut skips the shampoo and styling and gets you in and out. Still done by a curly expert, just more of a barbershop pace.
