Curly Haircuts in Durham, NC

At Spruce Hair Salon on University Drive, curly hair is cut the way it lives: dry, in its natural pattern. Our curl specialists shape each curl so you can see how your waves, curls or coils fall before anything is cut, with no guessing how it will look once it dries.

What is a dry curly cut?

Instead of cutting wet hair pulled straight, your stylist cuts your curls dry, curl by curl, the way you actually wear them. That means a balanced shape, fewer shrinkage surprises, and a cut built around your texture rather than fighting it.
