Afro & Textured Hair in Surry Hills

I’m Samir Samaali. I work with Afro-textured, curly, coily and mixed-texture hair, including cuts, shaping and loc maintenance. The right approach depends on texture, density, condition and your goal, so complex work starts with a conversation.

Texture, density, condition and daily routine all affect how a cut or style should be planned. I take those details into account and explain the service, timing and preparation before complex work begins.

For new locs, repairs, crochet work or other complex textured-hair services, start online booking and add details or upload photos when prompted so I can confirm what is suitable and provide a time and price quote.

Afro & Textured Hair: Quick Answers

Should I wash or detangle my hair before my appointment?

For cuts and shaping, arrive with clean, dry, detangled and product-free hair where possible. For loc maintenance, hair must be freshly washed, completely dry and free of wax, heavy butters and leave-ins. If you cannot prepare it this way or are unsure, explain that in the booking notes; extra preparation may require more time or a rescheduled service.

Which curl patterns and textures do you work with?

I work with a wide range of curl patterns, coily hair, mixed textures and transitioning hair. If you are unsure which service fits your hair and goal, start online booking with the closest service and add details in the booking notes.

What happens at a first appointment?

We start with a proper conversation about your hair history, what it does day to day, and what you want. Then I tell you honestly what will work. No rushing, no guessing.

How often should locs be maintained?

Most people book a retwist every four to eight weeks depending on growth, texture and how neat you like the roots. I'll give you an honest schedule for your hair, not a generic one.
