The Curl Lab is a salon in Marrickville, NSW, that cuts, colours and treats curly, wavy and afro hair for women, men and kids. It is best known for its curly dry cut, which is cut dry in the natural curl so the hair is shaped as it naturally sits.
The Curl Lab Academy
The Curl Lab Academy runs three courses: Little Curls, Own Your Curls, and Curl Authority, which is aimed at stylists. Waitlists are open for the courses, so anyone interested should join the waitlist when they enquire.

Cuts and styling
Colour
The team cuts curly hair dry, in its natural curl, so the shape comes from the curl rather than from wet cutting. Afro curl cuts are measured stretched. A maintenance cut covers clients who have had a Curl Lab cut within the last 12 weeks. Colour includes toner, foils, balayage, bleach and tint, and regrowth or full tints, and every colour service ends with a styling and drying finish. Treatments include deep hydration, strengthen and repair, and ultimate curl therapy. Men and children have their own curly cuts, and a cut plus protein treatment is offered for men.
