These Metro Manila salons are where curly and wavy-haired Filipinas can get cuts, color, and care suited to their texture.
For years, Filipinas with wavy or curly hair walked into salons and braced themselves for the same conversation. Your stylist would eye the frizz and suggest a re-bond. Finding someone who could cut curls dry, read a curl pattern correctly, or recommend products that worked with humidity felt more like luck than something you could count on. Our climate makes that search even harder. Heat and moisture in the air turn frizz control and curl definition into an everyday concern.
These days, a few more options exist. There are several salons around Metro Manila that now put curly and textured hair at the center of what they do. Here are five worth booking if you want a stylist who already speaks your hair’s language.

Ulo Salon Studio
Located in San Juan, Ulo Salon Studio is proof that a small footprint can still make a big difference for curls. The salon was built around the idea that healthy hair shouldn’t be a compromise, especially for textured and curly hair. That philosophy shows up in the details. Founder Tish Mahtani leads the styling, and the compact space turns appointments into a conversation about your hair’s actual needs.

Koop Studio
Koop treats hair like architecture. The BGC and Podium locations run on the same principle, celebrating what’s naturally there instead of fighting it. Stylist Dimitry Galushin has become the go-to for a proper curl-by-curl cut. It’s the kind of salon where the process takes as long as it needs to.
Koop Studio has multiple branches across Manila, including High Street South Corporate Plaza in BGC and The Podium Mall
Cutz & Curlz by Jazz
Founder Jazz Baker built Cutz & Curlz as the first salon in the Philippines dedicated exclusively to curly clients, and years into running it, that specificity still shows. Every appointment starts with a real consultation, noting curl type, texture, length, so the cut actually fits the hair in front of them. The team, including stylists Mitzi and Nica, covers everything from cut to full color work. The shop also stocks curl-friendly products.

Curl Studio
The newest name on this list, and unapologetically single-minded about it. The Curl Studio’s own tagline says it plainly: for curls, by curls. Though it doesn’t have the scale of the bigger names yet, but for anyone who wants a stylist who thinks about nothing but curl work.

Culture Salon
Culture Salon in BGC is where you go when your curls need more than a trim – when dryness, frizz, and lost bounce call for a full reset. The salon builds its services around natural, plant-based hair products with an eye toward sustainability, and the whole experience feels like a spa day.
