Curly hair isn’t difficult — it’s just different.
And when curls are cut using straight-hair rules, the results often miss the mark.
At Rooted, we believe curls deserve a thoughtful, intentional approach that works with your natural texture, not against it.
That’s why we’re proud to offer curly haircuts with Mayce, a certified curl specialist trained in the Presley Poe Curl Method — a modern technique designed to honor curl pattern, movement, and individuality.
Why Curly Haircuts Are Not One-Size-Fits-All
No two curl patterns are the same. Even on one head, you may have multiple textures, densities, and shrinkage levels. Traditional wet haircuts often overlook these differences, leading to uneven cuts, unpredictable results, and a frustrating grow-out.
A specialized curly haircut considers:
- Your natural curl pattern and density
- How your hair shrinks when dry
- Where volume should live (and where it shouldn’t)
- How you style your hair day-to-day
When curls are cut intentionally, they fall into place more easily, style faster, and grow out beautifully.
What Is the Presley Poe Curl Method?
The Presley Poe Curl Method is a globally recognized approach to cutting curly hair that focuses on custom shaping, texture awareness, and longevity.
Presley Poe is known for celebrating natural texture and designing haircuts that feel effortless, modern, and lived-in — especially for curls.
Her method emphasizes cutting curls in their natural state, shaping strand by strand, and creating movement and structure that supports how curls actually behave.
Rather than forcing curls into uniform shapes, this method allows curls to breathe, bounce, and move naturally — resulting in hair that feels lighter, more balanced, and easier to manage.

What to Expect From a Curly Haircut at Rooted
Your curly haircut experience at Rooted is intentionally different from a traditional cut.
Appointments typically include:
- A thorough consultation to understand your curl goals, routine, and lifestyle
- Dry cutting to see how your curls naturally fall and move
- Custom shaping based on your curl pattern, density, and shrinkage

This approach allows us to create a cut that looks great on day one — and continues to look great weeks later.
Can I Still Wear My Hair Straight?
Yes — absolutely.
Curly haircuts at Rooted are designed with versatility in mind. While the focus is on honoring your natural curl pattern, the shape is balanced so you can still wear your hair straight if you choose.
If you like switching between curly and straight styles, be sure to mention that during your consultation so Mayce can tailor the cut accordingly.
Who Is a Curly Haircut Best For?
A curly haircut may be right for you if:
- You have waves, curls, coils, or mixed textures
- Your hair feels bulky, uneven, or triangular
- You struggle with unpredictable shrinkage
- You want a cut that grows out gracefully
- You’re ready to embrace your natural texture — or learn how to
Whether you’ve worn your curls your whole life or are just starting to explore them, this approach meets you where you are.
