Definitely NOT for curly hair. We discussed the haircut for 30 seconds while someone else was getting a blow dry, without being able to hear much. Then I have been told that “curly hair is easy”, which was another red flag since it really is NOT. Consequently, I ended up with much shorter haircut than anticipated and the back does not form a bob since the hair is too short to curl in some parts… I was hoping for more after reading the good reviews.
