hair salon for curly teen boy hair

[Anonymous]

Teen DS’s hair has turned very curly over the past year (puberty?). Neither spouse nor I have curly hair! I’m looking for a hair stylist who can help tame the curls and show DS how to manage them, in a simple manner (he’s not going to spend a lot of time on his hair)- also one who knows what teens like. Thanks for any leads.

Where are you located? Rockville (not downtown, on the Pike) has Oasis, and DC has Fiddleheads. Both exclusively cut curly hair and can instruct your son and make product recommendations

$100+ at Oasis

Just get him a buzz cut then.

Yes, and? Do it once, they'll teach him how to properly care for his curls and what products to use. Then buy larger sizes of the products at Ultra or Amazon.

$100 for a teen is flat out ridiculous. That is 4x more than DH spend and even my salon is only $60 for me (cut and dry).

I get my tween’s curly hair cut at Bang. Several stylists are Deva trained but they charge for basic men’s cut since he’s got short hair and it doesn’t take long.

Your husband pays $25 for a hair cut in the DMV?

Yes, it sure is ridiculous. Especially as it’s short hair. I wouldn’t never spend $100 on a teen boy’s haircut.

+1 I'm a woman with curly hair, but I also go to Bang at Logan (I see Brennan). He can recommend products and is good at styling my curly hair (which is saying something--before I started going to him, I never wanted to go anywhere after a haircut except home to wash it).

Has he asked for this? Is he not sure of what to do with his hair, or is it Mom/Dad who doesn't like how he's wearing it?

If he's one of their Expert Stylists, is that about $100 too?

As a mom with difficult curly hair, I would absolutely spend $100 for a curly cut and styling lesson if I had a daughter with hair like mine. I wish I had learned how to style my hair when I was younger. That said, my tween/teen boys are fine with somewhat messy unstyled curly hair, as long as they get regular cuts and I can't imagine them using product.
