Transform Your Curls with Our Expert Approach to Curly Hair Cutting
If you have naturally curly hair, you know that no two curls are exactly alike. At Curls Gone Wild Salon in Gilbert, we’ve revolutionized the curly hair experience since 2007 by embracing one fundamental truth: curly hair requires a unique approach, especially when it comes to cutting. That’s why we exclusively offer dry cutting for our curly-haired clients—a specialized technique that allows us to see exactly how each curl lives and behaves in its natural state.
Why Dry Cutting Makes a Difference
Traditional wet cutting can be misleading for curly hair. When wet, curls stretch and appear longer, making it difficult to predict how they’ll spring up once dry. This unpredictability often leads to haircuts that are shorter than intended or uneven when styled naturally.
Our approach at Curls Gone Wild focuses on cutting hair in its dry state, allowing us to:
- See each curl’s natural pattern and spring factor
- Work with your hair’s unique texture and density
- Create precise shapes that enhance your curl groups
- Maintain the perfect length for your desired style
By working with the natural movement of your curls, we avoid the disappointment of an unpredictable cut, ensuring a shape that looks great whether styled or air-dried.
The Curls Gone Wild Difference
As Gilbert’s first salon specializing in naturally curly hair, we’ve developed our signature CGW Cast Dry Cut through years of experience and refinement. Our extensively trained stylists understand that curly hair isn’t just a texture—it’s an art form that requires dedicated expertise.
Unlike many stylists trained to straighten and alter curls, we believe in embracing natural beauty. There are no relaxers or straighteners in our salon. Instead, we focus on empowering clients with the right knowledge and techniques to love their natural curls.
Our goal? To change that narrative. By offering dry cutting, proper curl education, and the right product guidance, Melanie and her team help clients break free from damaging heat styling and discover the confidence that comes with embracing their natural curls.
Our Process: More Than Just a Haircut
When you visit our curly hair salon for a dry cut, you’re getting more than just a trim. Our comprehensive service includes:
- Initial Consultation – We assess your curl pattern, lifestyle, and goals.
- Education – We teach you about proper curl care and maintenance.
- Customized Cutting Technique – We tailor the cut to your unique curl families.
- Product Selection Guidance – We help you choose lightweight, hydrating products.
- Styling Tips – Learn how to refresh and maintain your curls between visits.
Every step is designed to ensure long-term success, so your curls look just as amazing weeks after your appointment as they did on day one.
The Perfect Marriage: Dry Cutting and Proper Product Knowledge
A great dry cut works hand in hand with the right hair care routine. Many clients don’t realize that product buildup, not dryness, is often the real culprit behind frizz and dull curls.
Our stylists educate clients on simple yet effective ways to care for their curls, including:
- Proper cleansing and conditioning techniques
- The role of water as a key moisture source
- The benefits of gels over oils, butters, and silicones
- Drying methods that maintain curl integrity
Through this approach, our clients learn how to enhance their natural texture rather than fight against it.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Our dry cutting technique, combined with proper education, helps clients achieve what many thought impossible:
- Defined, frizz-free curls
- Long-lasting shape and volume
- A simplified curl routine
- Confidence to wear their hair naturally
We’ve helped countless clients in Gilbert and beyond rediscover the beauty of their curls. Whether they’ve been straightening for years or just never had the right haircut, we guide them toward a healthier, more effortless hair routine.

Expert Training Meets Passionate Care
At Curls Gone Wild, our stylists undergo rigorous training before working with clients. They learn curl-by-curl cutting, personalized color techniques, and advanced curl care education to ensure the best results for every hair type.
Our team also stays updated on the latest curl science—not trends. Unlike some “curly hair movements” designed to push products, we focus on timeless techniques that genuinely work for curls.
