We understand curly hair!
Mastering curly hair requires specialized education, and that’s exactly what the experts at Studio W Salon in Castro Valley have pursued. For either natural curls or curls from a permanent wave, we understand curl shrinkage and how curls behave when dry versus wet. It is essential to approach curly hair differently than straight hair to create a natural shape and maintain desired length.
Compassion & Customization for Curls
At Studio W Salon, we approach every curly client with a customized plan. No two heads of curls are the same, and wave patterns often vary around the head. That’s why we take a tailored approach, creating shape, volume, and movement that complement your natural texture. If your curls feel weighed down or lifeless, a personalized curly haircut can bring them back to life!




How often should curly hair be cut?
Curly hair doesn’t require as frequent trims as straight hair since its texture hides growth better. However, regular trims every 3-4 months help maintain shape and keep ends healthy. If you feel like your curls aren’t growing, remember that they grow in loops, making length changes less obvious over time.
Curl Training
With the right approach, your curls can look better than ever. Here are some expert tips from our team at Studio W Salon:
- Get a professional curly haircut to remove split ends and improve shape.
- Use lightweight styling products to enhance curl definition without weighing hair down.
- Try the "plopping method" or a diffuser to enhance your natural curl pattern while drying.
- Avoid heavy butters and creams that can make curls feel limp.

Daniela is the sweetest, and she always gets exactly what I love in my hair. I always leave smiling ear to ear because she knows what she’s doing, and having curly hair I’ve always been so cautious and never have had good experiences but Daniela knows how to do curly hair.

Angie was attentive and gave me exactly what I was looking for! She gave one heck of a curly cut! 5 stars all the way!

Amelia gets curly hair! She took the time to go over what I was hoping to accomplish. She explained how to emphasize the curls, how to hydrate dry hair, how to curl and how to straighten.

Great with curly hair. Personable and professional.
