Chestnut Hill · Philadelphia
Cuts, color, and care built for your texture.
Salon Maryam is a curly hair salon in Philadelphia where curls and waves are the specialty. In our Chestnut Hill studio we cut, color, and care for curly and wavy hair — using techniques built specifically for how curls actually behave, dry and in motion.
Curly hair doesn’t follow the same rules as straight hair. It needs to be shaped dry, cut with the curl pattern instead of against it, and finished with products and techniques that bring out definition rather than frizz. At Salon Maryam, every appointment is tailored to your specific texture and how you actually wear your hair day to day.
Curly hair services
Dry, curl-by-curl shaping so your curls fall right the day you leave and every wash after. We cut to your natural pattern, not a wet guess.
Deep conditioning and hydrating treatments that bring out definition, control frizz, and keep your curls healthy and bouncy.
Dimensional color formulated to protect your curl pattern and keep strands healthy.
The cut
We cut curly hair dry, curl by curl, so we can see exactly how each section falls. That means shape and length that make sense for your real texture — not a cut that looks fine wet and falls apart once it dries. Whether you want to keep your length or reshape entirely, we work with your pattern, not against it.
What to expect
Color and texture have to be handled carefully together. We use techniques and formulas that add dimension and brightness while protecting the integrity of your curl pattern, so your hair stays healthy and your curls keep their bounce. Many clients pair color with a curly cut in the same visit — see our hair color services.
At home
Great curls are built at home as much as in the chair. We’ll set you up with a simple routine — the right cleanser, how often to wash, how to refresh between washes, and how to sleep on your curls to protect them. We recommend products matched to your specific texture, like a gentle DevaCurl cleanser, so your curls stay defined and hydrated between visits.
Why us
Curls are a specialty here, not something we squeeze in between blowouts. We keep our book intentionally light so every client gets full, unhurried attention, and we’re honest about what will work for your hair.
