Curly Hair Cut

Our signature curly hair cut analyses your curl type, face shape, and styling needs to create a custom shape that enhances natural texture. Using dry-cutting techniques, we ensure definition, balance, and movement while teaching clients proper home care. The service includes consultation, shampoo, conditioner, and styling with vegan Aveda products.

Dry Curly Cut

This technique cuts hair in its natural, dry state to maximise curl definition. Includes diffusing with Aveda products for optimal volume and shape. Ideal for clients seeking to maintain length while enhancing their hair's natural pattern through advanced cutting methods like the Rezo or Cado Cut.

Foiling

Custom foiling services refresh colour with precision highlights using high-quality products. Available as crown/parting, half head, or full head applications. Additional fees apply for thick hair. Our stylists specialise in creating natural, flattering light reflection patterns that complement curly textures.

Balayage

Hand-painted balayage techniques create natural-looking dimension in curly hair. Services include toning and glossing to maintain vibrancy. Stylists use their expertise in curl patterns to place colour where it will enhance the hair's natural movement and facial features.

Permanent Colour

Root touch-ups and full colour transformations using ammonia-free Aveda products. Services include regrowth coverage and toning. Our stylists assess hair condition and curl type to select optimal formulas that maintain hair health while achieving desired colour results.

My go to for my curly cut.. The beautiful Jenni and her amazing team make you feel welcomed as you enter and you leave beautified, with curly wisdom and sometimes cool curly products too. Definitely would recommend Aoki hair to every curly hair type.

From the moment I stepped through the door I was made to feel so welcome. Some people dread going to the dentist, well I dread going to the hair dresses and pretty much avoid it until I absolutely have to! However, having been to Aoki hair, I will be visiting more often! Jenni, Bella and the whole team have created such a warm and friendly environment with lots of smiles and laughter.. even my partner got the five star treatment!
Bella took the time to sit down and talk about what I was hoping for and instantly put me at ease. She did a fab job and produced curls I didn't even know existed

Where do I start? Like many others, I come from a long line of bad haircutsthough Ive never had kinky curls, I wouldnt quite describe my hair as straight as it always had some waves through it. The last time I had it cut was over 2 years ago and the time before that was also two years before that and the reason was that I was too scared to go try a new hairdresser as every single one I tried ended up giving me the same result. This time, however, I went in with no expectations as I didnt want to set myself up for disappointment (again) and came out with ACTUAL CURLS! The best part

A wonderful experience! I visited Aoki Hair for the first time a few weeks ago and left feeling super happy. I'm sure many curlies can relate to having a hairdresser butcher their hair, even after claiming they know curls. After a few bad experiences, I'd become apprehensive about getting my hair cut, so I felt uneasy trusting a new hairdresser. Not to mention, I wanted to 'get the chop' to donate my hair (eek!).
Fortunately, Bella was wonderful - she was professional and listened to my routine, concerns and needs. It didn't take me long to relax. She was also inventive! We had to measure the

After living with dead straight hair all my life, it suddenly went curly at age 40 and I had no idea what to do or how to do it - until I went to Aoki Hair on Saturday! I was really nervous but the staff were all lovely, the salon was clean, modern and gorgeous, and all of the clients around me had such beautiful looking hair. Bella, who did my cut, was an absolute gem. I walked in there a dishevelled, indecisive mess and she was so patient with me! I felt like we were 100% on the same page and she talked me through absolutely everything she was doing, how she was doing it, and what I need to
