Self-Care's take
Neel Loves Curls cuts only texture, from light 2B waves to tight 4C coils, and will not take a straight-hair chair. Time Out called Neel a curl guru who sells the products needed to recreate the cut at home. The method is multidimensional customised layers, then education on wash, dry and drugstore product so the shape holds for months rather than six-week trims. First visits can feel expensive until the gap between appointments stretches. Colour is not on the floor, so pigment work happens elsewhere. This is the wrong room for a blow-straight finish or a correction. Book if your hair is wavy to coily and you want a cut that still looks like yours after a week of weather. Bring your usual products so the lesson matches the bathroom.

Curly cuts are the whole brief: multidimensional customised layers for 2B to 4C. Time Out says the cut should leave manageable ringlets rather than an unruly mop. This is not a six-week trim mill. Book if you want a shape that still looks like yours after weather. Skip it if you wanted a blow-straight restyle.
$Texture here means waves through coils, not a keratin flatten. The room will not take straight hair. Tell Neel where you sit on 2B to 4C. Urban List files the studio on Melbourne's curly map. Education on fall and face shape sits inside the cut. Do not expect a smoothing menu.
$Curl care is the aftercare lesson: wash, dry, and product that includes drugstore options, not only salon retail. Time Out notes he supplies the gear to recreate the cut at home. Bring what you already own. The point is months between trims, not a bag of mystery serums. Ask what to stop using as well as what to buy.
$The craft
Neel's product is a curl-only chair. Official copy is blunt: specially trained to cut 2B to 4C, light waves to tight coils, and nothing straight. Time Out called him a curl guru who also sells the gear to recreate the cut at home. The method is multidimensional customised layers, then a lesson on wash, dry and drugstore product so the shape holds for months. First visits can sting until the gap stretches to four or twelve months in guest notes. Colour is not on this floor. Book if your hair is wavy to coily. Skip it if you wanted a blow-straight finish, a toner, or a walk-in at 399 next door.
First visit
Phone 0451 001 433. Hours on this record: Tuesday to Friday 9am-6pm, Saturday 9am-5pm. Time Out once printed Tuesday 9:30 and Wednesday to Friday from 10am, so treat the live site as the clock. Bring the products you actually use. Say whether you are 2B waves or 4C coils so the layering matches. There is no colour here. There is no straight-hair chair. First visits can cost more; many guests then stretch. This is not a wash-and-blow mill. Ask how to dry the shape at home before you leave. Say Neel Loves Curls at 399B Brunswick Street when you book, not a neighbouring pin.
The street
399B Brunswick Street
Fitzroy VIC 3065
399B Brunswick Street is a different letter from Tips and Toes at 399. Do not walk into the nail shop for a dry curl cut. Mitty sits further north at 439. Aroma Thai is 427 opposite IGA. Heading Out is 225. Play Brow is 332. Patee is 371. Tram 11 still owns the strip. Time Out printed slightly different midweek hours than this record, so confirm before you travel. Come for texture. Do not come because you wanted Shellac at the neighbouring door or colour at ByFitzroy. Confirm the B on the shop letter before you sit.

Questions people ask
399B Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065. Phone 0451 001 433. A different shop letter from Tips and Toes at 399.
The salon says it only cuts curls from 2B to 4C, from light waves to tight coils. It does not cater for straight hair.
Public guest notes and local threads say the room is cut and curl care, not colour. Book pigment at another salon.
Guests often flag a high first-visit price, then say they return far less often because the cut holds.
No. Tips and Toes is 399. Neel Loves Curls is 399B. Two salons, two crafts, two doors.
This record: Tuesday to Friday 9am-6pm, Saturday 9am-5pm. Time Out printed a slightly different midweek open. Confirm before you travel.
Yes. Official and Time Out notes lean education on wash, dry and drugstore product so the shape holds for months. Bring what you already use. Colour is not on this floor, so pigment still happens elsewhere. This is a curl-only chair, not a straight blowout mill.
