Curly hair doesn’t follow the rules – and neither should your haircut. Traditional wet-cutting techniques often leave curls uneven, unpredictable, and impossible to style. That’s why our curl specialists in Arlington use dry-cutting methods designed specifically for textured hair, so you can see exactly how your curls will fall before a single snip.
At Boncomb Beauty, we celebrate curls in all their forms – from loose waves to tight coils. Our approach honors your natural texture while creating shape, reducing bulk where needed, and giving you a cut that looks incredible on wash day and every day after.

Curly Haircut Questions
Why do you cut curly hair dry?
Curly hair shrinks significantly when it dries – sometimes up to 50% or more. When cut wet, it’s impossible to predict how each curl will spring up. Dry cutting allows us to see your natural curl pattern and cut each curl individually, ensuring an even, balanced result that actually looks the way you want it to.
How should I arrive for my curly haircut?
Please come with your hair in its natural curl state – no flat ironing, blow-drying straight, or braiding beforehand. You can wash and style as you normally would. If you’re unsure, feel free to call us before your appointment. We want to see how your curls naturally behave so we can cut them perfectly.
How much does a curly haircut cost at Boncomb?
Our curly haircuts are $85, which includes curl assessment, dry cutting technique, strategic shaping, and curl-specific styling with product recommendations. This is our transparent, all-inclusive price – no surprises at checkout.
I’ve had bad experiences with haircuts before. How is this different?
We understand – many curly clients have horror stories of pyramid shapes, uneven lengths, and stylists who clearly didn’t know what they were doing. Our curl specialists at Boncomb Beauty in Arlington have dedicated training in textured hair and use techniques specifically designed for curls. We take our time, we communicate throughout the process, and we won’t pick up the scissors until you’re confident in the plan.
How often should I get my curly hair cut?
Most curly clients do well with cuts every 8-12 weeks, though this varies based on your curl type and how quickly your hair grows. Tighter curls often need less frequent cuts than looser waves. During your appointment, we’ll recommend a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific hair – and we can set up standing appointments so it’s just handled.
Can you help with frizz and humidity issues?
Absolutely. Arlington’s humidity is challenging for curly hair, and we’ll recommend products and techniques that help manage frizz. A proper curly cut also helps – when curls are shaped correctly and weight is distributed properly, they’re less prone to frizzing. For more intensive frizz control, we might suggest a Brazilian Blowout that smooths while preserving your curl pattern.
What curl types do you work with?
All of them. From beachy waves (Type 2) to ringlets (Type 3) to coils and kinky textures (Type 4) – our curl specialists are trained in cutting all curl patterns. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific curl type and customize our approach accordingly.
What Our Curly Clients Say
“I spent 30 years fighting my curls because no one ever taught me how to work with them. My stylist at Boncomb changed everything. She cut my hair dry, explained what she was doing at every step, and for the first time in my life, I actually love my natural hair. I’ve thrown away my flat iron.” – Maria S., Dalworthington Gardens
