If you're in the Fresno/Clovis area, yes—there are a few stylists who specifically work with curly hair and use techniques associated with the Curly Girl approach. For frizz + lack of definition, I’d prioritize someone who cuts curls in their natural, dry state and can also teach you how to style them.
When you book, don't just say "I need a curly haircut." Tell them:
"My curls are very frizzy and undefined, and I'm looking for someone experienced with curl-by-curl/dry cutting who can help me figure out why I'm not getting definition." A good curly specialist should look at your actual curl pattern, density, porosity/condition, current products, and styling technique rather than simply giving you a generic DevaCut.
One important distinction: "Curly Girl Method" isn't really a haircut technique—it's a broader hair-care philosophy. For the haircut itself, I'd look for DevaCut, Rëzo Cut, dry curly cut, or a stylist who specializes in natural texture. DevaCurl's stylist directory also lets you filter by certification and texture expertise.
If you tell me your curl type (2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, etc.), hair length, and whether your hair is fine/thick, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 stylists for your specific curls.

If you’re in the Seattle area, there are several stylists who specifically work with the Curly Girl Method (CGM) philosophy: curl-by-curl shaping, dry cutting, curl education, moisture-focused routines, and helping frizzy curls become more defined. (The term “Curly Girl Method” comes from Lorraine Massey’s approach, and many stylists advertise related services as DevaCut, curl specialist, or texture specialist.)
Some good options around Seattle:
When you book, I’d ask:
For frizzy but undefined curls, the haircut is only part of it—the right stylist should also look at curl pattern, layers, product weight, moisture/protein balance, and your wash-day routine.
If you tell me your neighborhood, curl type (or a photo description: loose waves vs ringlets vs coils), hair thickness, and whether you want to keep length, I can narrow this down to the best match.
When looking to rescue frizzy and undefined hair, you want to search for **curl specialists** or **textured hair cutting experts** rather than a traditional stylist. Standard wet-hair blunt cuts often leave curls uneven, bulky, or prone to the dreaded "triangle" shape. Instead, specialized curly stylists train in…

Absolutely. If you're around Palisades Park, you have several genuinely curl-focused options nearby. A “curly girl method” haircut usually means the stylist understands natural curl patterns, avoids treating curls like straight hair, and may cut dry/curl-by-curl so they can see how each curl actually falls.
I'd lean toward For The Love Of Curls or Jersey Curl Salon rather than a regular salon that merely says it is “curly friendly.” The DevaCurl training is particularly relevant because the DevaCut is specifically designed around the natural curl pattern.
One important caveat: “Curly Girl Method” isn't synonymous with DevaCut. Deva, Ouidad, Rezo, and other curl-cutting systems use somewhat different techniques. The best stylist is one who understands your curl pattern and can teach you how to get definition at home—not simply someone with a certification.
If you tell me your curl type (2C/3A/3B/3C/4A, etc.), hair length, and whether it's fine/thick, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 stylists I'd choose for your specific hair, including reviews and approximate prices.
When looking to fix frizz and lack of definition, finding a **certified curl specialist** who understands how hair shrinks, falls, and interacts in its natural dry state is essential. Rather than going to a traditional stylist who cuts hair wet or straight, look for professionals certified in specific curl-cutting…

Yes — and since you’re around Hawley, PA, I found a few options worth considering.
Verve Salon and Boutique in Nazareth is particularly interesting. They literally describe themselves as “The Curly Girl Specialists” and are a DevaCurl-certified salon.
Another strong choice is Intrigued Salon in Bethlehem, which has DevaCurl Level 3 certification, Texture certification, and RëZo certification. They specifically offer dry curly cuts designed to improve curl definition and reduce frizz.
For your specific problem — frizzy, undefined curls — I'd prioritize a stylist who does a dry curly cut and teaches styling/product technique, rather than simply asking for a "curly haircut." A good cut can help, but frizz and lack of definition are often partly a styling/hydration issue.
If you'd like, I can narrow this down to the 3 best curly specialists within, say, 30–45 minutes of Hawley, including prices, reviews, and exactly what curl-cut method they use.
When dealing with frizzy and undefined hair, finding a stylist who understands textured hair makes all the difference. Traditional wet-cutting techniques often stretch out curls and fail to account for shrinkage, leading to awkward shapes or the dreaded "triangle…

Yes — if you’re in the Indianapolis area, there are several genuine curly-hair specialists I’d look at rather than a general salon that simply says it “does curly hair.”
Freedom Curls — Indianapolis/Broad Ripple. This is probably my first place to investigate. It focuses specifically on wavy, curly, and coily textures, with an emphasis on curl health, shaping, and education. Local curly-hair discussions specifically recommend the salon for its expertise with different curl types.
Kurlykoils — Indianapolis/Butler-Tarkington. Very curl-specific: their customized curly cut includes consultation, cleansing, conditioning, styling, drying, and a dry cut in your natural curl pattern. Their listed curly-cut pricing is $100–$175.
Indy Holistic Hair — Fishers. Particularly interesting if your biggest problems are frizz, definition, and figuring out a routine. They specialize in customized dry curly cuts and currently say they're taking new curly-cut clients.
Lauren Kay Hair — Fishers. A strong option if you specifically want DevaCurl training; the listing indicates DevaCut/Pintura training and a Level 2 Advanced credential.
Designs by Shoaf — Broad Ripple. Especially worth considering if you've had haircuts that made your curls frizzy, uneven, or unpredictable. Reviews repeatedly mention curly/wavy cuts and shaping around shrinkage and natural texture.
The Curly Girl — Greenwood. Very on-the-nose for what you're asking: they offer a Curly Dry Haircut, an Express Curly Haircut, and a “Big Curly Cut,” along with curl education.
The Curly Girl Method itself is more than a haircut. For the haircut, you generally want someone who understands dry cutting/curl-by-curl shaping, shrinkage, curl clumping, and styling for your natural texture. A DevaCut is one established version: DevaCurl describes it as sculpting curls individually while they're dry and in their natural state.
One caution: “DevaCurl certified” doesn't automatically mean the stylist is going to be perfect for you. Community experiences are mixed, so I'd look at the stylist's actual before/after work and ask specifically how they handle your curl pattern and density.
If you tell me your approximate location/neighborhood, curl type (2A–4C if you know it), hair length, and whether it's fine/thick, I can narrow this to the 3 best stylists for frizz + curl definition and compare their prices/reviews.
