Looking for a curly haircut specialist in Manchester?

Hi! I’m Rebecca, a freelance hairdresser with 12 years’ experience in creating amazing curly haircuts in Manchester city centre.

I know how difficult it can be for people with curly hair to find the right hairdresser, and just how different curly hair can be from person-to-person, which is why we’ll always start with an in-depth consultation. During this, we’ll discuss your hair goals and I’ll look over your hair to establish exactly what’s needed to create your dream look. We’ll take into account your hair, face shape, features and lifestyle to find the perfect look for you.

And once we’re done with your cut, I’ll take the time to talk you through exactly how to best care for your curls to keep them looking bright, bouncy and frizz-free consistently. I’ll also advise you on how often you actually need to get your hair cut to keep your curls looking great – it may be less than you think!

I honestly don't know what I'd do without Rebecca! I felt a bit lost with my hair after moving but she’s been my hairdresser for two years now and she always works her magic. My hair always looks and feels incredible after she's done. Her haircuts are consistently perfect, and those head massages? Pure bliss. She's just so lovely, and I really appreciate how she completely respects my silent appointments – it's so relaxing. Plus, the online booking is super simple to navigate. I leave every appointment feeling absolutely thrilled with my hair. She's truly talented and makes every visit such a positive experience.

Highly recommend Rebecca, she really is at the top of her game. From the welcoming and warm consultation- honest considered options from someone who really listens. Relaxing hair wash and super boosting massage to a precision cut, blow dry and straightening finish Rebecca truly gives 100%. I chose the ‘silent’ session option and it give time for a relaxing experience and does not feel uncomfortable at any point. ✂️

Feeling fabulous following a recent appointment with Rebecca for Highlights/Toner. It was my first appointment with Rebecca, her consultation was thorough, listening to what I was looking to achieve and responding with lots of suggestions and advice which gave me great confidence that I was in safe hands. I was very well looked after throughout the appointment and am still not sure how I didn't fall asleep after the wonderful head massage 🙂 the result was exactly was I was hoping for, I love it, thank you so much.
I had my hair done by Rebecca on Thursday at i absolutely love it and she was so accommodating with my daughter too who came with me! It was also the best head massage ever and the salon is great! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to come back.

Rebecca was very patient and took a real interest in the way I wanted my hair cut. She took time to look at photos of different styles and we got there in the end. It must be difficult when a new head comes along but will return in the new year. Very pleased

Rebecca has done my hair for years now and never disappoints! She is very friendly, puts you at ease and takes great care to understand what you're hoping to achieve with your hair.

Rebecca has been doing my hair for a number of years now, and is an amazing hairdresser. She understands my thick wild hair and brings it under control at each visit. Nothing is too much trouble for her from changing my coloured hair to going "au natural", she really gave me the confidence to go ahead with the change.Rebecca is back doing my hair after I've had a recent operation and I'm so glad to be at the salon with her. Thank you my amazing hairdresser.

Rebecca is such a fantastic hairdresser in every way! She always does a great consultation where she really takes the time to listen to what you’d like, offers different options and uses her years of experience and expertise to help me make my all important hair decisions. Every service with her is so relaxing as she creates a great environment. The results are always 10/10 from the colour to the styling. A real hidden gem in Manchester if you’re looking for a new stylist 😊

Where do I start! Having been with Rebecca for years, she’s one of the few people I trust with my hair. Rebecca listens to every single thing that I ask for in my haircut, plus she gives her own recommendations as to what style would suit me best. She’s always so gentle when cutting hair, and her head massages are to die for!!! She’s always giving me tips on how to best maintain my hair and how to style it once it’s been cut. Not only does she do a great hair cut but her bouncy blow dries are amazing! I received so many comments on how much volume it had and it lasted me til the next day. If you’re looking for a hairdresser that’ll listen to you and give you a fantastic service, Rebecca is your girl.
