I've been searching for years to find someone who specializes in curly hair. Finally stumbled across Doc's Curly Hair Haven here on yelp. Looked over Kristen's portfolio and booked. I had my consultation and knew right away I wanted to book with her. She is very much educated and knowledgeable about working with curly hair. She even taught me a few things to do with my hair to make sure it stays and looks healthy. I wanted a full coverage honey blonde but really wanted her opinion since I have dark hair and never dyed it in over a decade. She was very honest and gave me options. The results are a lot better than I had imagined. Finally safe to say I've found my new hair stylist that actually specializes in curly hair. Her studio is super comfortable and the vibe felt really relaxing. read more

If you have naturally curly hair and you want to make the most of your curls, it's so important that you go to a curly hair specialist to get a cut. If you're looking for just that expert, look no further than Kristin at Aura-she is a curly hair wizard! I went in wanting just a trim-I'm trying to grow my hair out, and want to keep length. Kristin listened to me, and told me what pieces she would cut and which ones she would leave. She showed me the back where my layers had started looking very disjointed and made a recommendation to cut a little more and even things up. I trusted her and her expertise, so I said "go for it!" The outcome was amazing-everything looked blended and the curls fell where they are supposed to, not haphazardly like they were before. A true "curly cut" is done when your hair is dry so they can see the curl pattern, how your hair lays, etc. Kristin does this and then follows it up with a relaxing shampoo/conditioner. The next day, after getting my hair cut yesterday afternoon, my hair is vibrant, my curls are alive and well and I feel great. I will definitely be back as a repeat customer. read more

Chill vibes, good product, and lovely hair cuts. Kristin knows her way around my untamable hair!

I thought this was totally worth it! she is so nice and knowledgeable. she taught me how to best take care of my curls, and other good info about hair ovetall. I will definitely come back. read more

Deva cut for curly hair.....um, ya, but when you load hair down with tons of product and leave looking like a greasy mess with no "curls" or bounce......it's a fail. Will not be back to this salon read more

I am absolutely OBSESSED with how my hair turned out! Kristin does the BEST! I've never loved a haircut more :)

Really love this place! My son has curly hair and it has always been a challenge to get it cut. Curls get frizzy really easy! And for a kid, you don't really want to buy a whole lot of hair product and use all those chemicals on the hair. Anyway, we found this place on accident when we were coming to Kohl's (next door). Kristin was able to fit as in that day and she was so friendly. We learned how to take care of his hair and give him defined curls. It was a cut + a very educational class. An eye opener! We bought the conditioner to try ($20) and that alone has worked great. We are also trying the shampoo now, let's see if that helps! The cut + class was definitely worth what we paid. ($40 for a kid, I imagine it's more for an adult = more hair). We just had a quick trim and reshape for $20. It's definitely worth every penny! Any other regular salon cuts his hair while it's wet without giving it a shape. Then curls get dry and shrink and it just looks like a big lollipop! Not good. The haircut here is given based on how curly/thick your hair is. Love it! I recommend this place if you have curly hair that gets frizzy easily, especially if you don't want to go crazy on buying hair product. You can have the pretty curls but keeping things very low maintenance :) it has worked for us! I even use the conditioner in my hair (wavy) and it looks really piece-y! read more

Doc’s Curly Hair Haven - Hair Salons Near Me - Bluffdale, Utah

See all

Kristin was fabulous! I have very thick, very long hair that I dye blonde- so hair stylists usually have the toughest time with it. I've never gotten a good haircut and I usually leave the hair salon feeling sad- until today! Kristin gave me the first hair cut I've ever had that makes me feel amazing! She was so patient with my anxieties about cutinf m read more

If you have curly hair, you need to come here. I have never in my life been happy with my curly hair. For the past 10 years I've straightened it dutifully every. single. day. I had finally had enough of wasting my mornings, frying my hair into oblivion, and hunted down a curly hair salon. I have been to see Kristin twice now, and have not regretted it. I didn't have a great idea of what I wanted, but showed her a couple of photos and she ran with it. She is DevaCurl certified and does dry cuts, which no stylist I've been to in the past who claimed to know how to cut curly hair has done. Her haircuts combined with using the CurlyGirl method of taking care of my hair has led to some easier mornings and lots of compliments and the feeling that I'm not fighting with my hair every day. I rated the salon one star down because the general vibe of the salon is a bit sparse - there isn't much decor, the lighting isn't great, and it doesn't have the more hip or glamorous feel I'm used to in salons where the cuts are a bit pricier. However, the most important thing is the haircut and Kristin nails it! read more

If you have curly hair, you should definitely give this place a shot. I hated having curly hair until I went to Aura. Now I am very happy with my mane. My stylist is Ivy Cecy and she is fantastic. She has curly hair herself, which made me feel comfortable that she would assist me in finding the best style possible. Ivy takes the time to show you how to take care of and style your curly locks, and you leave the salon feeling fantastic. Just be prepared to pay for a great style, as it is on the higher end of the scale. However, when you find someone you like, it's hard to go anywhere else. Thanks Ivy! read more

This is the place to go for curly hair cuts! The stylists here use a different method, where they cut your hair while it's dry so that they can really work with your curls. While it takes quite a bit longer, the final product is always amazing. My stylist this time was Max, and he was awesome. I told him that I only get my hair cut once a year (since the cuts are a bit on the pricey end) and he gave me layers that look great now and will grow out to look natural later on. He got me to try an A-line cut, which I had never considered with curls, but it seriously looks amazing! A haircut with anyone here is well worth the money, but definitely consider Max when you're scheduling! read more

**Curly haired sistas unite!** I knew I had found the right place by the way they made me feel when I walked in for my first appointment. I was very anxious having moved from far away and knowing all too well the butcher/hairdressers I would have to go through before I found one I liked. I was made to feel previously that I really needed to buy that expensive hair straightening thingy and conform BUT I DIDN'T"T WANT TO. I love my curly hair. Ivy Cecy, an exotic Brazilian beauty, was my hairdresser. All I had to do was look at her hair to know I was in good hands. She has a full head of super curly hair. She was not afraid to consult with Anne Marie about my color which I very much appreciated. Most of the hairdressers have their own head of beautiful curly locks. I just love that. My peeps! Never before have I been so thrilled when someone was done with my hair. I looked like a movie star when Ivy was done. I felt so beautiful and blessed with the hair that God gave me! Ivy also helped me pick out some products so I could follow the same regiment as she did to get the same results. When I was having some trouble, Ivy had me come back in and showed me again. read more

I have fine long curly hair. I have never, I repeat, NEVER, had so many amazing hair days in my life. I went to see Emily about 4 months ago. She told me about DevaCurl and how to properly wash, NOT COMB, and dry my hair. It's been amazing and such a transformation! I cannot thank her enough (so please don't ever leave SLC). read more

Love the curl wizards are Aura! I've tried all of the curl specific salons in SLC, and Aura by far is the best. Kristin listens to my ideas and concerns, makes my hair look and feel amazing, and it's affordable indulgence. If you have curly hair, go to Aura. They will take care of you and curls and make you look and feel amazing. read more

Don't let the "curly hair" specialist turn you off. My hair is mostly a frizzy mess and my daughter has absolutely straight hair. Our stylist Michelle works miracles!! Especially on my problem hair. I have NEVER been pressured into buying products or services I did not want. I have gone to Michelle for over 5 years and have recommended her to friends and family and will continue to do so. Michelle teaches color at the local college and absolutely LOVES her job - I dare you to find that expertise for a decent price anywhere else!!!! All of the staff at Aura are friendly and professional and honestly happy - this makes for a very pleasant experience. read more

I bring my curly haired kids here and they always walk out looking great! I didn't trust any of the cheap chain places with their hair, and am so glad I found Aura. Plus, I learned a lot about taking care of their curls (I have stick straight hair.) read more

Ditto Rhianna: if you have curly hair you MUST go here. They use the Deva Curl method (Google it). I won't go anywhere else even though it's a bit of a haul for me (over 40 miles). My stylist is Kara. read more

My curly hair has taken a new life since I started coming to Kristin! Prior to coming to Aura I had been fighting my hair, straightening and doing everything wrong for my natural curls. Kristin walked me through the process of styling my hair and keeping it healthy. I can't say enough good things about this salon. If you have curly hair - you MUST try a curly haircut. You will thank yourself daily :) read more

I have wavy hair but have spent years straightening it. I occasionally try to make it curly with all sorts of cheap products and lots of heat. It's looks a little stiff but it's all I've know how to do. To keep it straight I use even more heat and cheap products. I decided I wanted to find a salon that had some curly hair specialty to help me go curly full time. I was scared to make the commitment but after coming to see Emily for an appointment, I have hope it's possible. I'm still a little nervous if I can be committed to what it takes but Emily has given me great education and products to make it happen. I'm excited to see how it goes!!! read more

Best hair salon ever!!! For curly or straight hair, but if you have curly you know how hard it is to find someone who knows how to cut it. You really must give it try! They are Deva curl certified and truly specialize in cutting,styling, and coloring curly hair. read more

Emily is amazing! I have curly hair and I finally found someone who gets my hair! I found her three years ago and never left. ‍

I left this salon this afternoon and felt compelled to write a review. It has been several years since I've left a salon loving my hair and I had almost lost hope. I've lived in SLC for a year and a half and have tried 4 other stylists before finding this salon on Yelp. I'm not going anywhere else. I have super thick short-ish curly hair that regularly finds itself in the dreaded triangle shape. Emily gave me a sassy flattering style that I can easily do at home. If you have curly hair and are frustrated with your hair stylist not "getting you", please come here. You won't be sorry. No more triangle hair! EVER! read more

Aura has done a great job in specializing in curly hair, ensuring the stylists are trained in new techniques. I've been going to Anne Marie forever and she is dedicated to her salon, her clients, and the products she carries. One of the main reasons I maintain loyalty to Anne is that if my cut needs a tweak, I go back in and she'll work with me to get it right. She knows me and my hair and that is what it is all about! So, if you have curly hair and have been frustrated by your stylist not getting it right, check out Aura. read more

Best haircut for curly hair! Kristin is amazing. I moved here and was looking for someone who could revive my curls. Success. If you want personal attention and the best massage/hair wash, look no further. She cuts it dry first to accentuate your natural curls the. Then washes it and dries it and keeps trimming for a precision cut. Go. Your hair will thank you. read more

Aura Salon is fabulous! I have naturally curly hair and have never had my hair cut in Utah because I've always been nervous of a botched cut. I've always had my stylist in Texas cut it when I went to visit. I had my hair cut by Kara and I love it! She definitely loves curly hair (and has it herself) and teaches around the US & Canada the techniques of cutting curly hair!! Lovely environment. I felt completely comfortable for the first time while getting my hair cut. read more

Had the best - quickest, most thorough Brazilian - I've ever had with Rebecca. Hands down recommend her and Aura without reservation.

I had an amazing experience, and got exactly what I wanted. My hair looks amazing. Awesome staff, very talented and professional. I highly recommend Aura to anyone. I am definitely going to become a regular customer. read more

I took my daughter to see Emily today. My daughter has thick, curly hair and we have never found a stylist that could manage her hair but Emily did a fantastic job. My daughter said, "I'm never going anywhere else and this is the best haircut I've ever had". Mic drop. Great job Aura Salon! Thank you. read more

I've been here 2 times and Kristin does such a great job! My hair looks great and they have taught me a lot about keeping it looking good.

This salon and the stylists are absolutely amazing! I was blown away at how beach wavy my moppy hair was after I left; I didn't know it was possible to look that way without a curling iron! The professionalism and expert level styling is second to none. read more

I have very thick, curly hair, which I have hated until I met Emily at Aura. She taught me how to style curly hair, and she cuts it properly for my hair type. My two teenage daughters also go to Emily. One has short curly hair and the other has thick, wavy hair that she wears straight. Emily uses coloring products that are less damaging to our hair. I get lots of compliments on my curls now! read more

I absolutely love coming to Emily! Not only do I enjoy her company but I love my hair and the knowledge I need to obtain the look when I leave. My curly hair has always been a blessing to me but now it's become a wonderfully jealous head of hair!! Thanks Emily!!!!! read more

Emily at Aura hair is an exceptional hair stylist. I trust her and have all the confidence in her to cut, color, and style my hair. I have had no other stylist work with my hair like she does. I always receive compliments on my red hair color, too. Thank you, Emily! read more

have struggled with managing my curly hair my entire life. It always seems too frizzy or too flat. My way of solving my frizzy curly hair was to weigh it down with an insane amounts of gel. It was my first time going to Aura and I had an amazing experience with Rachel. She introduced me to Deva curly hair products and taught me how to be able to do my hair more natural. My curls have never looked so good. I would recommend Rachel to anyone! Thanks Rachel!! read more

I love this hair studio. Kristin is the best, she always manages to fit me in and make my super-curly hair look amazing. She recently did my hair for my wedding and I can't say enough about how gorgeous I felt! She and her team also did my bridesmaids' hair (straight and curly alike) and everyone was obsessed with how good they looked. It was an amazing experience. Love these gals! read more

So, I was in SLC for the movie festivals and needed my eyebrows shaped. I happened by Aura Salon and the owner said she could do that. As we were chatting, she mentioned that I actually have curly hair, not frizzy hair. She explained that all of the problems I'm having with that frizz and other things was a result of not handling my curls correctly. By the time I left, I had had a new hair trim to release my curls, a nonsulfate shampoo, condition and gel, and a head full of curls! And knowledge on how to do all of this myself to stay looking great. OMG! I could not believe it! NO FRIZZ. My hair was now gorgeous flowing curls. I thanked her profusely and started to cry, (I sucked it up, so not to embarrass myself). She changed my life. My hair has been such a source of daily aggravation and no hair dresser ever had any solution for me. I had resorted to using afro products just to plaster it down in the Florida humidity. Now I have GORGEOUS hair, thanks to the kind words and skill of the owner of Aura. I highly recommend this salon. Oh! And my eyebrows look great now, too. read more

I started seeing Emily about two years ago and won't go anywhere else! The perfect cut and curly hair tips after years of trying to get my very curly hair under control. If you have curly hair you HAVE to come see Emily at Aura where they know that curly hair is different than straight hair and has to be cut, and styled accordingly. I can't recommend enough! read more

This salon is great. Both stylists are professional and if you have curly hair it is a game changer. They teach you how to get the most out of your curl. They are very knowledgeable about hair as well as products. The head massages are wonderful too! read more

I am a wavy- haired sister and I love Aura. Beth is my stylist and she took the time and energy to discuss with me what I hoped could happen with my hair. She is realistic, gentle, and thoughtful. She listened to my concerns and checked in with me as I was viewing my style in the mirror in order to make sure she had met my goals. My style has stayed workable through the last three weeks since I saw her. I am not running to the brush every five minutes to get my hair out of my eyes. Beth is a great stylist. It's so personal to tell someone what you like and don't like about yourself. She did not judge or tease me for my concerns and I appreciate that. I will be going to Aura from now on and I shall always book my appointments with Beth. Besides the great woman behind the scissors, the salon is lovely. The energy is calm with an undertone of positivity. The main windows face north so it is a pleasure to sit in the chair looking out while having my hair done. There were other clients in the salon while I was there, but I did not hear any of their conversations or overhear them in any way. It felt private and welcoming. My style was well worth the moderate charge. I am telling you and all my friends to get yourself to Aura. Be sure you ask for Beth! read more

Love my keratin treatment! Chelsa Vaun is awesome! My hair has never looked better or been easier to style. No more frizz. No more piling on the hair product to try to keep the humidity at bay. Love it, love it, love it! Thank you, Chelsa! read more
