Curly cuts in Austin, matched to your pattern
Curly hair is not a version of straight hair, and it should not be cut like one. Richie is certified in both major curl-cutting methods and matches the technique to your curl pattern, never the other way around.
"Richie has been my stylist for many years, and there's so many reasons why. He is a professionally skilled stylist, especially with curly hair. When I first moved to Texas I flew out of state to see my previous stylist because experienced curly hair stylist are so hard to find. Richie took the time to understand my hair, learned how it lays naturally and cut my hair based on my hair (not just a one size fits all cut). One of the best attributes in a true professional stylist is honesty, Richie makes it very easy to communicate what you like/dislike and makes valid recommendations to make you look your best (and explains you the why behind his recommendations), but in the end he aims to make you look and feel your best every time! He is one of a kind!"
Curly cut methods: Deva and Rëzo
Deva cut
A Deva cut is a dry-cutting technique designed specifically for curly hair, shaping each curl the way it actually falls. Richie is a DevaCurl Level 3 Master, the highest certification level, trained in New York City. Dry cutting means the hair is cut in its natural curl pattern instead of stretched wet, so the shape you leave with is the shape you live with.
"Drove in from out of town to see Richie. If you have curly hair, you NEED Richie as your stylist! He is a Level 3 Deva certified stylist. […] My hair turned out fantastic!"
Rëzo cut
A Rëzo cut is a curly cutting method that keeps even length around the head so curls have volume and freedom of movement. It is a great fit for curls that want maximum shape and bounce.
Super curly texture cut
For the tightest textures, a cut built around coil pattern, shrinkage, and how you actually wear your hair.
Deva dusting
A light dry maintenance trim for returning Deva clients within two months of their cut. Keeps the shape sharp between full cuts.
Curly cuts for everyone
Long hair below the shoulder starts at $130. Short curly cuts above the ears start at $85. Men's curly cuts start at $85. Waves count too: every texture from 2a waves to the tightest coils belongs here.
"Been going to Richie for almost two years and never have to worry about how my hair will look! I have 2a-2b hair that can be quite finicky, but he always cuts it so it looks gorgeous and is easy to maintain!"
How to prepare for your curly cut
Arrive with your curls dry and worn the way you normally wear them. No ponytails or buns on appointment day, since dents hide your real curl pattern. Clean within a day or two is ideal. Your curls in their natural state are the map Richie cuts from.
