Curly Hair Transformation Stories: Before & After at Aria Gold Coast
There’s something truly powerful about a curly hair transformation.
Not just the visual change, although the before and after can be stunning, but the way someone feels when they finally see their curls come to life.
At Aria Curly Hair Salon on the Gold Coast, we specialise in more than just curly cuts. We create curl experiences that restore confidence, shape, definition, and joy in your natural texture.
So many of our clients come to us feeling frustrated after years of:
uneven haircuts
- flat roots and limp curls
- frizz that never seems to settle
- losing too much length at the salon
- not knowing how to style their curls properly
- And then… everything changes.
These curly hair transformations are some of our favourite stories, because they prove what happens when curls are finally understood.
Below are five real transformation slots you can explore. Each one highlights the kind of results possible when your curls are cut, shaped, and styled by true curl specialists right here on the Gold Coast.
(names are changed for privacy)
Tayla – All the right products, all the wrong techniques
Tayla was a loyal member of the Curly Life community. She had all our favourite products (including Pretty Curly Girl!). She wasn’t using the right techniques and had never clarified, so she had a lot of buildup that was blocking her amazing products from actually doing their job.
We gave the her the Ultimate Head Spa Experience and took our time teaching her how to use her products to replicate the results at home.
She loved her new look so much and came in a couple weeks later ready to go for our Aria Signature Rounded Curly Hair Cut
Janesa – From overly soft, mushy waves to shape and structure
Janesa came to us with overly soft, mushy waves. She wanted more definition and more texture so they wouldn’t fall flat anymore.
We gave her the Ultimate Head Spa Experience and focused on protein rich products to help with structure of the strands 💖
We also ensured to style with the smallest amount of stylers (pea sized amounts!) to avoid overwhelming her fine, low density hair 🫶
Mia – From hiding in braids to loving her beauty
Mia came in with her hair tucked away in a braid. She said she never knows what to do with it, so she just puts it back in a braid. We gave her the Wash, Styling & Coaching and helped her learn how to style her waves so that she’ll love them all the time.
She was shocked that her hair wasn’t frizzy – it was wavy!
Lucinda – From slicked back buns to shiny definition
Lucinda apologised for her gel residue – first off – we are passionate about NEVER APOLOGISING FOR YOUR HAIR !!!! We assured her she is welcome to come as she is! No need to change who you are in our salon.
She wanted a curly cut out of curiosity to see what could be done to her curls. She didn’t want any length gone, just the ratty ends. We gave her layers, face framing and the tiniest trim known to humankind.
She could not stop staring at herself in the mirror!
“Is that my hair?!” she couldn’t stop asking.
We actually put her reaction on Instagram because it was just too cute!!
