Lived-In, Everywhere

Curls that travel well

The whole idea behind Curly Mane Meg: hair that looks intentional with zero fuss. Cuts and color built to air-dry, scrunch back to life, and look just as good on day five as day one — from a North Park chair to the edge of the Pacific.

At the Beach

Salt, sun & surf

Beach-day texture that loves the ocean. We'll set you up with salt-friendly styling so your curls only get better with a little sea air.

On the Trail

Trailhead ready

Early call times, zero outlets. Wash-and-go shapes and a 60-second routine, so your hair's handled before the sun's up.

By the Campfire

Off-grid & easy

Days without a mirror? Good. Lived-in cuts are built to air-dry, scrunch back to life, and thrive completely off the grid.

Wherever You Travel

Carry-on curls

Three products, one bag, any time zone. Low-maintenance color & cuts that look just as good in a brand-new city.

Curly hair FAQ

The questions curlies across San Diego & Southern California ask most before their first visit.

Where are you located?

I see clients from one chair inside Salvage Salon at 3800 Ray St in North Park, San Diego, CA 92104. There's just the one location — you come to me.

Do you cut all curl types and textures?

Yes — waves, curls and coils of every texture are welcome. Every cut is shaped to your individual curl pattern, density and face.

What is a dry curly cut?

I cut your hair dry, curl by curl, so I can shape each curl as it falls naturally — then cleanse and style so you see the finished result before you leave.

I'm a new client — how do I start?

Every new guest starts with a consultation so we can talk through your texture, hair history and goals. It's applied toward your service, and you can book online through Vagaro.

What areas do you serve?

I'm based in North Park, San Diego, and welcome curly & wavy clients from across San Diego County and Southern California. Regulars travel in from South Park, University Heights, Normal Heights, Hillcrest, Golden Hill, Kensington, downtown, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Coronado, Chula Vista, La Mesa, El Cajon, Encinitas, Carlsbad and Del Mar. There's one chair, inside Salvage Salon — you come to me.

Can clients from elsewhere in Southern California see you?

Yes. Many clients drive in from across San Diego County and greater Southern California just for a curl specialist. A good dry curly cut grows out beautifully and is built to be low-maintenance, so it's well worth the trip — whether you're coming from the coast, North County or further out. Book online through Vagaro and come to the Salvage Salon chair in North Park.

Do you do DevaCut, Rézo or dry curly cuts?

Yes — every curly cut is a custom dry cut, shaped curl by curl while your hair is dry so each curl is cut where it actually falls. It's the same curl-by-curl philosophy behind DevaCut and Rézo-style cutting, tailored to your individual texture, density & face, then cleansed and styled so you see the finished result before you leave.

Do you color curly hair — highlights or balayage?

Yes. Alongside curly cuts I offer gloss & toning, all-over color, root retouches, and hand-painted highlights & balayage placed for your curl pattern so it grows out softly. Color starts at $200 and hand-painted highlights at $250, confirmed at your consultation.

What do prices start at?

Curly, wavy and straight cuts start at $140, color from $200 and hand-painted highlights from $250. Final pricing is confirmed at your consultation based on length, density and time.

Do you offer virtual or online curl styling sessions?

Yes! I offer one-on-one virtual curl styling sessions over live video, so you can learn to style your own waves & curls at home from anywhere. Choose 15, 30 or 45 minutes depending on how much time you'd like, and book online through Vagaro.

How do I book an appointment?

Book online any time through Vagaro. New guests start with a consultation, applied toward your service. You can also text Meg with questions about what fits your hair.
