Prestige Barbers is Jacksonville's trusted curly hair barber. Our team has extensive experience working with curly, coily, wavy, and textured hair types. We understand how curly hair behaves differently when cut and style accordingly to give you a look that works with your natural texture, not against it.
Curly hair requires a barber who understands shrinkage, curl pattern variation, and how different cutting techniques affect the final shape. At Prestige, our barbers are trained to work with every curl type — from loose waves to tight coils. We cut curly hair both wet and dry depending on the desired outcome.

Our barbers work with Type 2 (wavy), Type 3 (curly), and Type 4 (coily) hair textures every day. Each type requires different cutting techniques, different blending approaches, and different product recommendations. We assess your curl pattern, density, and porosity before cutting to ensure the best possible result.
For curly clients, we often cut dry to see exactly how the hair falls naturally. This is critical because curly hair can shrink 25-75% when dry. Our barbers account for shrinkage when blending fades and shaping the top. We use point cutting and slide cutting to remove bulk without disrupting curl clumps, resulting in a natural, defined look.
Our most requested curly styles include taper fades with curly tops, skin fades with defined curls, burst fades with twist-outs, drop fades with sponge curls, and curly fringe cuts. We also do curl-specific lineups that frame and enhance your natural curl pattern rather than fighting against it.
Jacksonville is a diverse city, and our client base reflects that. We cut curly hair on clients of every background — Black, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, mixed-race, and more. No matter your ethnicity or curl type, our barbers have the experience and technique to deliver a sharp, professional result.
After your cut, your barber will recommend products suited to your specific curl type. We advise on wash frequency, conditioning routines, and styling products that enhance curl definition without weighing hair down. Proper maintenance between cuts keeps your style looking fresh for 2-4 weeks.
