Maeve Donnelly, Curly cut specialist

Meet Maeve

I was the girl with the triangle.

Every haircut I had growing up in Ponca City ended the same way: wet, thinned, layered like straight hair and dried into a triangle. I spent my teens flat-ironing it into submission.

Now I cut curls dry, one at a time, the way they'll sit when you walk out the door. Students, professors, ranchers' kids and grandmothers all sit in the same chair in Studio B, and every one of them leaves knowing how to do it again at home.

Sample client reviews

Kind words from the chair

Twenty-six years old and nobody had ever told me my hair was 3B. Maeve cut it dry and I didn't recognize myself, in the good way.
Rachel O.First curl cut
I brought my daughter in after she cried about her curls. Now she asks for 'Maeve hair' and diffuses it herself.
Lori T.Kids' curl cut
She talked me through a big chop with zero judgment. Six months later my curls are fuller than they've been since high school.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Why do you cut dry?

Curls shrink and spring differently strand to strand. Cutting dry lets me see each one where it actually lives.

How should I come in?

Curls down, dry and product-free, styled the way you normally wear them. No ponytail, no bun, no flat iron that week.

Do you cut straight hair?

Waves, yes. Truly straight hair, I'll happily point you to someone great.

Can you fix heat damage?

I can cut out the worst of it and help the rest recover. Some ends just need to go, and I'll be honest about that.

Do you do color?

Glosses and tone refreshes for curls. For big lightening I send you to a colorist I trust.

What products should I buy?

Whatever works on your hair, from a drugstore or a salon. I'll show you what to look for, not what to buy from me.
