If you have beautiful curly hair – loose waves, tight coils, or multi-textured hair – our curly hair experts in Newport-on-Tay near Dundee specialise in celebrating and enhancing your natural curls.
Unlike straighter hair, which often reflects light uniformly and lies flat, curls have bends, spirals, and varied patterns that require specialist knowledge and techniques.
Cutting, colouring, and styling natural curls demands an expert touch to preserve shape, bounce, and definition.
That’s why our team invests in regular training with leading curl educator Scott Cooper, also known as The Curly Scott.
If you’re searching for curly hairdressers in the Dundee area who understand the beauty and complexity of natural curls, Sutherlands Hair & Beauty Salon is here for you. Please book a consultation by calling 01382 542 369 or book online.
Curly and multi-textured hair behaves differently from straight or wavy styles. Straight hair can usually be styled with smooth, precise cuts and responds predictably to colour.
Curls, however, spring back, shrink, and may vary from strand to strand. A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work.
At our hair salon in Newport-on-Tay, we believe curls deserve respect and artistry. Our stylists are trained to “see before they cut,” working with your curl pattern in its natural state to ensure every cut enhances your hair’s shape and flow.
If you’re embracing your natural curls for the first time or looking for a bold new colour, we’ll help you achieve a look that feels authentic and beautiful.
Our team is proud to train under the guidance of Scott Cooper, a globally recognised stylist, educator, and founder of BBCURLS™️, a holistic curl education platform rooted in artistry, inclusion, and culture.
Scott brings more than 35 years of lived and professional experience to his work. His teaching blends technical mastery with intuitive artistry, always inviting stylists to understand why behind each technique.
As an Innersense Pro Educator and co-founder of The BB Hair Collective, Scott leads education that prioritises curl equity, cultural understanding, and artistic integrity. His coaching philosophy empowers stylists to expand their skills, embrace all textures with care, and bring confidence to every curl client they serve.
By learning directly from Scott, our stylists continue to refine their skills to provide the very best services for all curl types.
Caring for curls doesn’t end when you leave the salon chair. The right products and techniques at home make all the difference in maintaining definition, hydration, and shine.
Curly and multi-textured hair often craves more moisture than straighter types, which means sulphate-free shampoos, rich conditioners, and curl creams are essential. We recommend using lightweight products that enhance your natural curls without weighing them down.
Our curly hair specialists can advise you on the best routine for your texture – whether that means layering leave-in conditioners, using a diffuser to dry your curls gently, or incorporating deep-conditioning treatments to keep your hair strong and supple.
By combining our expert in-salon services with the right at-home routine, you can enjoy healthier curls that look and feel their best every day.
Sleeping with wet hair can cause tangling, breakage, and flattening of your curls. It’s best to let your hair dry before bed or use a silk pillowcase or bonnet to minimise friction.
No – curly hair grows at the same rate as straight hair (about half an inch per month). However, because curls grow in spirals, it can appear as though growth is slower.
While you can enhance definition with styling techniques and products, your curl pattern is genetic. You can’t permanently change it without chemical treatments, but healthy care routines can make curls more consistent.
Actually, curls benefit from regular trims to prevent split ends and maintain shape. Depending on your style, every 8–12 weeks is usually ideal.
Yes! Curly hair can be coloured beautifully, but it requires expert handling to protect the curl pattern. At Sutherlands, we use curl-friendly techniques and products to keep your hair vibrant and healthy.
A curly cut takes into account the natural shape, shrinkage, and movement of your curls. We cut curls in their natural state, curl by curl, for balance and definition – something a traditional straight-hair cut can’t achieve.
