I just took DD to New Wave Salon in Rockville. She’s 5, with curly hair. Mimi, who is a Deva stylist gave her a great cut and it was only $25 (I didn’t have her wash it after cutting).

I prefer a Ouidad cut to Devacurl. I go to Salon Sage in McLean. It’s $75, but worth it IMO. Other stylists not specializing in curls just butcher my hair.

Thanks for the replies.
Any specific recommendations are welcome of stylists where people had a good experience.
I go to a deva salon myself so I'm familiar with the process/salon finder. I pay $160, and their kids cuts are $90 (similar to Oasis which is $75) so that is why I wanted to go somewhere else based on personal experience. Fiddleheads gets really mixed reviews, and many are bad enough that I decided not to go there myself.

Oasis in Rockville
Fiddleheads in DC
Yes to the Deva cut. Shell out the $ for the cut and for your child to learn how to take care of her curls. Buy the products on Amazon.

Look for a Deva stylist near you. If you get a junior stylist, you won't have to pay as much.
My son's hair is cut by a junior stylist that is Deva-trained and only charges $35. (For comparison, my Deva stylist charges $135.) Even though his is also a Deva cut, it is still considered a kids' haircut. They don't have to do as much for kids -- just a dry curly/Deva cut and follow with a spritz of water.
Even if you have to pay more for the cut, it is worth it to get a good one by a well-trained stylist -- especially if her hair is longish, she gets a good cut, and you use good products, it'll only need further attention maybe 2x/year.

Anyone have recs for a hair salon / stylist who would cut curly hair for a reasonable fee?
Some background: My daughter has 3A hair. I've always cut it, but it's time she get a real haircut. I did take her to a salon once when she was late 2/early 3yo, but it was NOT a good cut. She walked out looking like a triangle. The stylist brushed out her hair (major no-no for curly hair) and then tried to cut it semi-wet. It may be a unicorn to find an economical place that will dry cut kids' hair, and if that is the case I may just take her to Oasis (a kids' cut there is $75
)
My other kid has straight hair and goes to Cartoon Cuts.
