The Real Issue

Do your curls only look good on wash day?

If your curls feel unpredictable, frizzy, flat, or hard to refresh, the problem may not be you. It may be that your haircut, products, and styling routine are not working together.

Most curly hair appointments treat the symptom. The Curly Makeover at Makers is built around the cause. We start by understanding your actual curl pattern, your actual routine, and your actual life before a single pair of scissors touches your hair.

That is the Makers Method. Education first. Results that last.

This is for you if…

Sound
familiar?

If any of these feel like your hair, the Curly Makeover was designed with you in mind. Waves, loose curls, tight curls, fine curls — all of it.

✓
Wash Day Only Curls Your curls look great on day one and fall apart by day two. You want curls that actually refresh.
✓
Frizz No Matter What You have tried every product. Nothing seems to actually help. Your routine needs a real reset.
✓
Heavy or Shapeless Hair Your haircut feels like it is weighing your curls down instead of letting them move and spring.
✓
Product Confusion You do not actually know what is helping and what is hurting. Let’s figure it out together.
✓
No Realistic Routine You want a routine you can actually do at home. Not one that takes forty-five minutes and twelve products.
✓
Never Had a Curl Specialist You have never had a stylist who actually understands curly hair. You are ready to try something different.

The Makers Method

What happens during a Curly Makeover?

Every step is intentional. Nothing is rushed. Here is exactly what your appointment includes from start to finish.

01
Curl Consultation
We start with a real conversation about your curl type, your history, your goals, and what your current routine looks and feels like. Product review happens here too.
02
Shape-Focused Curly Haircut
We cut first, on dry natural hair, using your curl pattern to build the shape of the haircut. This is how the cut works with your curl instead of against it. Not a one-size-fits-all approach.
03
Clarifying Shampoo
A clarifying cleanse removes buildup and prepares the hair for treatment. Add-on chelating treatment available for $35 if your hair needs a deeper reset.
04
Olaplex 3-Part Treatment
A three-step Olaplex Curl Enhancing treatment with two 10-minute processing times built in. This is where the real strengthening and curl enhancement happens at the bond level.
05
Hands-On Styling Education
You watch. You learn. We style together using products matched to your curl pattern so you can recreate this at home with a routine that actually fits your life.
06
Drying Under the Hood + Diffuser
A combination of hood dryer and diffuser finishing to set the curl. You leave with your hair completely dry and styled.
07
Day 2 and Day 3 Refresh Plan
We talk through exactly how to refresh your curls between wash days. You leave with a plan, not just a haircut.

The Goal

The goal isn’t
perfect curls.

The goal is curls that are easier to manage, easier to style, and easier to refresh between wash days. Hair that works in real life, not just on wash day in perfect lighting.

Every Curly Makeover is built around your actual curl pattern, your actual morning, and what you are actually willing to do with your hair. That is The Makers Way.

From Rachel

From someone with fine curls, too.

I have naturally fine curly hair, so I understand how quickly curls can lose volume, separate, or feel weighed down by the wrong products or the wrong cut. I spent years figuring out my own hair before I figured out how to help other people figure out theirs.

A Curly Makeover is not about forcing your hair into someone else’s curl routine or chasing a result you saw on someone with a completely different texture. It is about finding what works for your actual hair and your actual life.

Every curl type is different. Fine curls, coarse curls, waves, ringlets, mixed textures. There is no one right answer. But there is a right answer for you and that is what we are going to find together.

“I want you to leave knowing more about your hair than when you came in. That is not a bonus. It is the whole point.”

— Rachel, Owner + Curl Specialist

Common Questions

Before you book.
Yes — please come in with your hair freshly washed and styled naturally, so I can see your curl pattern working as it normally does. No buns, braids, or blowouts. The cut happens on dry, natural hair so the shape has to be visible before we start.
No. The Curly Makeover is designed for waves, loose curls, fine curls, tight curls, and anyone trying to understand their natural texture better. If your hair has any wave or curl pattern at all, this appointment was built for you.
Yes. Hands-on styling education is built into every Curly Makeover. You will watch, ask questions, and leave knowing how to recreate your results at home with a routine that fits your actual life.
That is completely fine. Bring photos or product names if you can, but we will figure it out together during your appointment. Not knowing is actually a great place to start fresh.
Changes or cancellations made within 7 days of your appointment are subject to a $100 rescheduling fee. Please reach out as soon as possible if something comes up so we can do our best to accommodate you.
