My first time going to a curly hair specialist, and it was totally worth it! I’ve had many cuts before where I had to ask the stylist to texturize and blend the layers more after my hair dried, so it didn’t look choppy.
Joan gave me the perfect cut for my wavy texture. (I think maybe she used a razor? I couldn’t see that well.) I asked for shaggy layers that I could air dry. She also recommended Ouidad Moisture Lock Curl Butter, which works well for my hair which tends to get dry and frizzy and needs help with definition.
The tiny, sweet salon dog just wanted to be curled up on my lap the whole time. I will definitely be back.

I’ve been getting my haircut by Joan for about a year now and she does the best job.I have short, thick, kind of curly hair that usually gets hacked if I go to a barber. Not with joan- she’s helped me change how I look at getting my haircut. Rather than dread it, I look forward to it! Joan and the gals are always so kind and welcoming. I am always confident in her to give me a cut I’ll love. A wonderful family business all around!

Just moved to town and found our forever salon!
I recently relocated to the Tacoma area and was so nervous about finding someone who actually knows how to work with curly hair—not just say they do. After way too many bad cuts in the past, I wasn’t about to trust just anyone. Then I found Tacoma Curly Salon, and I can honestly say it was one of the best things that’s happened since moving here.
From the minute I walked in, I felt at home. The team is warm, welcoming, and actually knows curls. My stylist took the time to really understand my hair type, asked the right questions, and explained everything she was doing step by step. It felt like talking to a friend who just happens to be insanely talented at hair.
I left with the best cut I’ve had in years—my curls were hydrated, shaped beautifully, and had that bounce and definition I’d been missing. I was so happy with my experience that I immediately booked appointments for my two daughters, who both have very different curl types. And let me just say… we’ve never had a stylist truly “get” their hair—until now.
The stylists treated my girls with so much care and patience, made them feel confident and special, and gave them both amazing, age-appropriate cuts that brought their curls to life. It meant the world to us.
Tacoma Curly Salon is more than just a place to get your hair done—it’s a place that celebrates curly hair and knows how to bring out its best. We’re so lucky to have found them, and now the whole family has a new salon home.
If you’re new to the area or just tired of not being heard or understood at other places—this is where you need to be.

I can’t send enough good things about my visit to Tacoma Curly salon. It was a beyond a five star experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed to understood and especially with someone with curly hair finding a stylist who truly knows how to work with curls can be a challenge, but they absolutely nailed it. They took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave me the most Beautiful haircuts I have ever had in my life. My curls move was so much definition. I’m in love, but the real game changer was the moisture treatment. Wow, my hair felt like silk afterwards deeply nourished and unbelievably shiny, and my curl is sprang to life with so much vibrancy analyst. The difference was amazing in long lasting last, but not least the stylist knew exactly what she was doing she had an expert level of knowledge of curly hair and she used quality products that enhanced my curls I for sure will be back to the salon.

My daughter and I drove over an hour to get to Tacoma Curly Salon and it was completely worth it. We both have very textured hair, and it’s not easy finding a salon that truly understands how to care for our curls. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. We had color, cuts, and steam treatments, and the level of care and attention we received was incredible.
Our curls have never looked or felt this good. They’re soft, shiny, and so defined. We could both feel the difference from the steam treatment right away. Our hair feels stronger, healthier, and deeply moisturized. The curl brush they introduced us to is a total game changer too. We’re both hooked.
This wasn’t our first visit, but this appointment really confirmed it for us. This is the salon. The team knows textured and curly hair inside and out, and they create an experience that makes the drive more than worth it every time. We’re so grateful we found them.

Okay, let’s talk about how Tacoma Curly Salon brought my curls back from the brink.
Before finding this gem, I made the mistake of going to another salon in Tacoma that claimed to be a curly hair salon. They had all the right words—“curl specialist,” “textured hair trained,” “natural hair expert”—but the cut I walked out with was a hot mess. My curls were uneven, dehydrated, and totally shapeless. It was one of those hair experiences where you leave smiling out of politeness, then cry in the car. Yup, that bad.
Then I found Tacoma Curly Salon, and from the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was finally in the right place. The energy was calm, confident, and kind. What struck me most was how my stylist handled seeing the state of my hair—no judgment. No “what happened here?” or shaming. They didn’t dwell on the damage or critique the last cut. Instead, they calmly talked me through what they could do to improve things and how they’d bring my curls back to life. I could’ve cried (happy tears this time) from the relief of just being seen without being made to feel bad.
And let me tell you—they delivered. My curls were reshaped with care and intention, and I left with a cut that made my curls pop like never before. Bouncy, hydrated, full of movement and finally the shape I’ve been dreaming of.
Tacoma Curly Salon doesn’t just give amazing haircuts—they offer healing. For your curls and your confidence. If you’ve ever had a bad experience with someone who said they knew curly hair, this salon will restore your faith completely.
I won’t go anywhere else. My curls have never been happier, and honestly, neither have I. 💁♀️✨

This is the absolute best haircut I have gotten. The entire staff was so sweet and knew my name the second I walked in. The atmosphere was so relaxing and fun and the salon dog even sat in my lap while my stylist Jade chatted with me about my cut. She took so much care into making my curls really shine. My curls have honestly never looked better! I will 100% be returning!!

I am not a fan of salons, or the beauty industry in general. I'm 3 weeks out from my cut with Julie and am so pleased I came here to comment. I've WILD naturally curly hair, 4 different textures of curls, and I love my natural hair. On the quick Julie met and exceeded my standards. Down to earth, knowledgeable, fun, and my hair is so much more manageable after 45 minutes in her chair. Did I mention it looks fantastic? The ultimate wash and wear, easiest to style, fantastic cut I've EVER had. Thanks Julie I'll see you in a few weeks

First visit= my inner thoughts….
WOW! Julie is confident and couragious! Also, I wish Joan was MY sister! I LOVE it when I see true masters at their craft! I did enough hair modeling in college to know that Julie and Joan are able to provide celebrity hair at working girl prices.
I hadn’t had my hair done in a year or two and was really bummed out about a lot of things. I left “The Studio” looking beautiful and inspired while Joan took on the husband’s last three hairs, each one is SO important!
Second visit=my inner thoughts…
WOW! I just told Julie I want to go blonde and she didn’t freak out! I just had to promise to not flip-flop and understand what is scientifically possible.
Joan took on the husband’s hair again and a later client who had a LOT more that three hairs. BOTH looked GQ.
I’m going from dark brunette to blonde. I read EVERYTHING about the steps, and so have Joan and Julie!
They are pulling out all the stops to ensure I feel safe and comfortable during this transformation.
2019-04-07
Julie was my hairstyle for many many years, to bad she moved away from me, I haven’t been able to find anyone as great as she was, very kind sweet person with a big heart. I will always missed her and the great job she did to my hair over the years. Love you Julie and I wish you well!
