Curl lounge · Bishop Arts, Dallas

Curls, by candlelight.

An upstairs curl lounge with velvet chairs, low light and evening appointments — cut, color and hydration rituals for curls that want a little drama.

Upstairs, after dark

A curl appointment should feel like a night out.

Sabine spent a decade in bright, loud salons where curly clients were squeezed between blowouts. Candlelit Curl Lounge is the opposite: four velvet chairs, candlelight, a playlist of slow soul and nobody rushing anybody.

We open late so you can come after work, stay for a glass of something, and walk downstairs into Bishop Arts with the best curls of your life.
