Chapter 01 — Hello

Curl specialist · Dickson Street, Fayetteville

Hi, I’m Bonnie. I cut curls dry.

Waves, spirals, coils and the in-between. I shape every curl where it actually lives, then show you how to get it back on day three.

Chapter 02 — How I got here

I was the girl with the triangle haircut.

Every stylist I sat with growing up in Rogers thinned my hair, flat-ironed it and sent me home with a triangle. I went to cosmetology school mostly out of spite, and then fell hard for curl cutting the first time I watched someone cut a curl dry.

My suite is small, loud with music and stocked with every diffuser I have ever loved. You will leave knowing your curl pattern, your routine and exactly which products to stop buying. Bring your questions, your frizz and your worst haircut story — I have heard them all.

Kind words from the chair

First haircut in fifteen years where nobody reached for thinning shears. My curls clump now. I didn’t know they could.
Priya S.Curl Chapter
Bonnie cut out two years of box dye in one afternoon and somehow I still left with a cute shape.
Jordan M.Big chop & reset
She drew my routine on a sticky note. It is still on my bathroom mirror and it still works.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Why do you cut curls dry?

Because that’s how you wear them. Wet curls lie about their length; dry curls tell me exactly where each one wants to sit.

How should I arrive?

Clean, dry, no ponytail dent, styled the way you usually wear it. If it’s frizzy, great — I want to see the real thing.

I have waves, not curls. Can I still book?

Yes. Wavy hair is my favorite secret. Most of my wavy clients didn’t know they had a pattern until their first cut.

Do I have to buy products?

Never. I’ll tell you what I use and why, and I’m happy to work with what’s already in your shower.

How often should I come back?

Every 10 to 14 weeks for most people. Growing out? Every 8 weeks keeps the shape kind.

Can you fix a bad cut from somewhere else?

Probably. Text me a photo first so I can be honest about how many visits it will take.
