Our solutions

Curly haircuts, styling & care.

Claire’s PROJECT AFRO journey — bringing curl knowledge to Sheffield

Claire is part of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing’s PROJECT AFRO team for 2026. Alongside her salon and session work, this is part of her ongoing commitment to developing her knowledge of textured hair.

With naturally curly hair herself, Claire understands how much the right shape and routine can change the way you feel about your curls. She shares her experience with the Wigs & Warpaint team through training, helping us turn that knowledge into thoughtful consultations, personalised cuts and practical styling advice.

Wigs & Warpaint Curl Creme — Softness & Definition

Give your natural curls and waves soft, flexible definition with our Wigs & Warpaint Curl Creme. This lightweight styling cream helps smooth frizz, adds moisture and shine, and offers light hold without a crunchy finish.

Apply a small amount to damp hair, distribute evenly and scrunch upwards, then air-dry or diffuse. Your stylist can show you how to adapt the amount and application to your hair.

Ask our Sheffield curl team which products suit the way you like to wear your curls.

Wigs & Warpaint Sculpting Glaze — Shape, Hold & Shine

Looking for a little more hold when styling your curls? Our Wigs & Warpaint Sculpting Glaze offers light-to-medium hold to help shape your style, with a quick-drying formula that helps retain moisture and enhance natural shine.

Work through towel-dried hair before heat styling. Your curl specialist can show you how much to use and how to distribute it evenly for the finish you want.

Not sure whether to choose Curl Creme or Sculpting Glaze? Ask us at your appointment. We’ll explain the difference and recommend an option for your hair and routine.

Goldwell perms for women and men

Want curls, waves or more movement in naturally straighter hair? Our perm services for women and men are available exclusively with Claire and Jing Yu. A consultation is required before booking your perm treatment.

We use Goldwell Texture Dimensions and Goldwell Evolution. Claire or Jing Yu will assess your hair’s condition, length and previous colour or chemical treatments before recommending the appropriate system and discussing the curl, shape and volume you want.

Bring reference photos and tell us about your hair history. Your consultation covers suitability, the achievable finish, aftercare, appointment time and price. Please call 0114 270 0336 to arrange your perm consultation with Claire or Jing Yu.

A perm creates a new curl pattern; a specialist curly haircut shapes your existing natural texture. Please don’t book a curly haircut when you want a perm.

A curl routine chosen for your hair

We stock our own Wigs & Warpaint range alongside Goldwell and Beauty Works products. Your stylist can help you choose a manageable routine around your texture, how your hair feels and the finish you prefer.

Goldwell Dualsenses Curls & Waves offers cleansing and conditioning for curly and wavy hair, while StyleSign Curls & Waves provides styling options for definition and hold. We’ll help you choose products that suit your hair, explain how much to use and show you how to apply them.

If you wear extensions, tell us which type you have so we can recommend suitable care from our available ranges, including Beauty Works. You don’t need a shelf full of products: bring your current routine to your appointment and we’ll talk through what’s working and what could help.

Considering curly extensions for extra length or fullness? Ask us about texture matching, suitability and upkeep before choosing a method.

Curly hair extensions with Remi Cachet

More length or fuller-looking curls, with a blend that respects your natural texture. Claire combines her curly-hair and extension experience to assess the curl match, colour, density and shape before recommending a fitting.

We work with Remi Cachet curly extensions. The Curl Collection includes human-hair wefts designed to mimic a natural 2C curl; your consultation establishes whether the pattern and fitting method suit your own hair.

Every extension service starts with a 30-minute consultation costing £30, fully credited against your fitting if you go ahead. We assess suitability, explain maintenance and aftercare, and provide an individual quotation before hair is ordered. Call us to arrange a curly-extension consultation with Claire.

A textured addition to the Remi Cachet range, the Curl Collection brings a curly option to extension consultations. Its cold-curled human-hair weft is designed to mimic a natural 2C curl pattern. Claire checks the texture, colour and suitability against your own hair before recommending a fitting.

The collection also has dedicated shampoo, conditioner and Curl Refresher Mist. We’ll explain the care your chosen extensions need and help you plan their upkeep.
