At Clever Curl, we are all about celebrating the beauty and uniqueness of curly hair, and that’s why we’re excited to feature Curly Cuts as our latest salon spotlight. This innovative Canberra salon is making waves in the curly hair community by offering a specialised salon experience and providing curlies with the expert care they’ve been searching for.
Curly Cuts is a shining example of what happens when passion, expertise, and dedication to diversification come together. From small beginnings to becoming a go-to destination for curlies across Canberra and beyond, their journey is one of resilience, growth, and innovation. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Curly Cuts so special — and meet the visionary behind it all, Leeanne.
From Small Beginnings to Premier Curl Salon Destination
Curly Cuts was born out of a deep-rooted connection with the curly hair community through its sister business, Natural Eclipse. Natural Eclipse started as a small, home-based salon selling EverEscents Organic Hair Care and providing eco-friendly product refill solutions. Over time, Natural Eclipse grew into an online destination catering to curlies across Australia and offering Australia’s first postal refill service. The business was built on a foundation of helping people with their curly hair needs, offering them the right products and advice.
The idea for Curly Cuts came about when the team at Natural Eclipse started hearing more and more from their customers in the Canberra area. Curly clients were frustrated by the lack of skilled stylists who understood curly hair. After years of listening to these concerns, the team, led by founder Leeanne, decided it was time to open a salon dedicated entirely to curls. Thus, Curly Cuts was born, opening its doors in June 2021.
But Leeanne’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Just a few months after opening, the pandemic lockdowns hit, forcing the salon to close for 9 weeks. Instead of being discouraged, Leeanne and her team used that time to regroup, plan, and refine their vision. The salon re-opened stronger than ever, with a renewed commitment to offering a unique, curl-focused experience for their clients.
Today, Curly Cuts has grown into a must-visit destination for curlies in Canberra and beyond. Clients from surrounding areas such as Wagga, Cooma, and the South Coast are now making the trip to Canberra for curly-focused services — a true testament to the salon’s quality and reputation.
Leeanne: The Visionary Behind Curly Cuts
At the heart of Curly Cuts is Leeanne, the owner, founder, and driving force behind this curly revolution. With a background in hairdressing and a deep passion for curly hair, Leeanne recognised early on the lack of professional salons that truly understood the unique needs of curly clients. Her commitment to education, innovation, and sustainability has shaped Curly Cuts into the vibrant and thriving business it is today.
Leeanne’s vision for Curly Cuts goes beyond just providing great haircuts; she wants to create a welcoming space where curlies feel understood, supported, and empowered to embrace their natural texture. “It’s all about giving people the tools and the confidence to love their curls,” Leeanne explains. “Our goal is to make sure that every client leaves not just with a great haircut, but with a renewed sense of pride in their natural hair.”
Curl-Specific Services Tailored to You
One of the things that sets Curly Cuts apart is their exclusive focus on curly hair. As a curly-only salon, every service is designed with curls in mind. The team at Curly Cuts is trained in specialised curly cutting techniques that focus on shaping and enhancing natural curl patterns. This approach is a game-changer for clients who have long struggled to find a stylist who truly understands how to cut curly hair.
“We want our clients to leave not just with a great haircut, but with the confidence to embrace their curls,” says Leeanne and her team. “Seeing the joy on their faces when they learn new techniques or discover a new product that works for their curls is what drives us every day.”
A Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is a big priority at Curly Cuts, and it’s something that ties back to their sister business, Natural Eclipse. One of the standout services from Natural Eclipse is their postal refill service, which allows clients to conveniently order eco-friendly product refills online. This service is not only good for the environment but also for your budget, offering a cost-effective way to maintain your curly hair care routine without the waste of single-use packaging.
The team is incredibly proud of how much their refill service has grown, and they are excited to see it helping curly clients across Australia reduce their environmental footprint while still caring for their curls with high-quality products.
“We started with just a few bottles of EverEscents in our home-based business, and now we’re helping curlies all over Australia get the products they love in a sustainable way,” says Leeanne. “It’s been amazing to see how far we’ve come.”
A Team Committed to Education and Growth
Curly hair is a specialised field, and at Curly Cuts, they’re always looking for ways to grow and evolve. Their team of curly hair experts is committed to ongoing education, including training with Clever Curl. By staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and product innovations, the Curly Cuts team ensures that their clients always get the best possible care for their curls.
“We started from scratch, training from the ground up to become the curly hair specialists we are today,” says Leeanne. “And we’re not stopping here — we’re always learning, always growing, and always looking for new ways to help our clients love their curls.”
Why They Love Using Clever Curl
At Curly Cuts, the team has always been committed to using products that are not only effective but also align with their values of sustainability, quality, and affordability. That’s why they choose Clever Curl for their salon services.
“Clever Curl is a perfect fit for us,” says Leeanne and her team. “Not only do they offer high-quality, eco-friendly products, but the team behind the brand is passionate and ethical, and that aligns with everything we stand for. We love that we can provide our clients with products that work, while also supporting a brand that truly cares about the curly community.”

At Curly Cuts, the journey is just beginning. The team is excited about the future and the many ways they can continue to innovate and improve the curly hair experience. From expanding their services to growing their collection of curly accessories to adding more exciting projects, there’s no telling where this curly revolution will go next.
