| Where can I get a really good haircut? I always look like I am 16 years old. I want something more professional. However, I have two children so there is no time to actually style my hair. There must be a hairstyle for curly hair that is professional & easy to take care of? TIA! |
| if you search the archives here and on the list serv, I know I've seen this question asked several times before--there should be a good suggestion for someplace near you. |
| My sister has thick curly hair and she used to go to Elie in Tysons Corner Center. |
|
Go to Passent at Elizabeth Arden $55 she is only there on Wednesdays and the other days at the Fair Oaks location?
But, she is the best in the area. You will have to reserve maybe a month in advance for the Pentagon location. Maybe she has sooner appointments in Fair Oaks. She is definitely worth the drive. Everyone I have sent to her has been extremely happy. She is young (very stylish) and has curly hair herself. |
| Check out www.naturallycurly.com They have photos of hairstyles, pluse recommendations for stylists who understand naturally curly hair. |
| All the stylists at Demian in Adams Morgan are curly girl trained. |
| I have really curly hair, but also have the ability to straighten it, weather permitting. I go to Bang Salon, DC. I see Brittany & she does a good job cutting curly hair. |
How do you straighten it? Thanks. |
| Different poster here. Flatiron. Not for you if you have active kids and don't have time for something a bit higher maintenance! |
I have curly hair and flat iron it just about every day

| 16:20 here. I was just responding to OP's comment that she has no time to actually style her hair. I use my flatiron when I have time, which isn't often. |
| Another thing to consider is not just the haircut, but getting good "product" to work with what you have. I have naturally curly/wavey hair, and I love the flat iron, but that can take too much time. So I often use Kerastase mousse and other hair products (the "nacre"), then let my hair air dry - without ever running a brush through it so the curls stay more together. It looks SO much better curly that way, and I get tons of compliments. Without the hair products, it would look awful. Kerastase is expensive but lasts forever - and I'm sure there are similar products you can get at Target, CVS, etc. |
| Elie at Tyson's corner has "Ouidad" technique specifically for curly hair. Pricey but worth it. |

No it's not. The Ouidad method is outdated and can make your hair bushy after a few weeks. I hear Elie is an ass. |
