Curl and color studio · Augusta, Georgia
Curls cut like straight hair, frizz you fight every morning, color that left your ends fried. If that sounds like your hair, you are not the problem. We read your texture first, cut every curl where it lives, plan color around the health of your hair, and teach you the routine so the good days keep coming.

Inside 1505 · The work
Open the door that sounds like your hair. Inside: real cuts and color from our chairs, and the four stylists who'll take care of you.
Who we are
Healthy hair first. Always. That's the whole idea behind the name.
We're curl coaches and color people, and we love every texture that walks through the door, from a loose wave to the tightest coil. Our job is to help you fall for your hair, not fight it.
Curls don't come in one size, so neither do our cuts. We follow a method we trust, then shape it around you: your pattern, your density, the way you actually wear your hair on a Tuesday.
Feeling brave? Pink, blue and everything in between is on the table. Men's and kids' cuts are welcome too.
Every appointment starts with listening. You'll get a real consultation, a complimentary drink, a scalp massage and a warm paraffin hand dip. The result matters, and so does how you feel getting there.
Book online any time, or text the salon. New to us? Send a photo of your hair as it looks today and tell us what you're hoping for. It makes your first visit faster and better.
Sano is the street we're on, Monte Sano Avenue. It also means healthy, which turned out to be the perfect name for a salon that puts the health of your hair ahead of everything else.
Where most curly guests start
Level 3 Deva training and Rëzo certification in one cut, so you never have to pick between them. We cut it dry, curl by curl, then put the products in your hands and teach you to style it, so it still looks like this on day three.

Our products and the brands we trained with
A DevaCut takes out the weight that piles up around your shoulders, which is how you say goodbye to the dreaded triangle. Hope trained at the DevaCurl academy in New York and is the only Level 3 Deva certified stylist within 100 miles of Augusta.
#devacurl #curlygirlmethod
Rëzo is an award-winning technique created by Nubia, a former DevaCurl educator in New Jersey. It's built for expansion and volume, so it's perfect for any curl pattern that wants a round, balanced shape.
#Rezocut
We're picky about color because your hair has to live with it. Hope completed the master colorist course at the Goldwell academy in Santa Monica, and we use Goldwell because its micro-lipid technology helps color hold on and stay vibrant longer.

Full services and pricingFor curl cuts, please arrive with your hair down, dry, detangled and free of product. We want to see your curls as they really are, not as your gel would like us to think they are.
Every appointment needs a deposit. It holds time that's reserved just for you.
Life happens. If you need to cancel, please give us at least 48 hours so someone else can have the spot. Cancellations with less notice carry a 50% fee before you can book again.
Cards carry a 3.5% processing fee. Cash, check, Venmo and Cash App skip it.
If you need to cancel, please let us know at least 48 hours before your appointment so another guest can take the time. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours' notice carry a 50% cancellation fee, which is due before you book again. Thank you for understanding; it keeps our stylists' days fair and our books open for everyone.
If you're donating your hair to Wigs for Kids, your cut is on us. It's one small way we can help a child feel like themselves again.
We'd love to be part of your day. Our beauty team does hair and makeup on location or here at the salon, for you and your whole party.

Betsy was nothing shy of perfect! She listened and understood exactly what I wanted! And I was super excited for my fun new color! Definitely will keep her as my hairdresser!
I've been getting my curly hair cut here for several years now. Curly hair is tricky, but Amber has a good understanding of that and once she learned my personal preferences I've been a happy girl. Salon Sano is great!
I found hope using the devacurl website. Salon is gorgeous and clean. Everyone there was very professional. Hope handled each of my curls with care and took the time to explain any issues or concerns I had regarding my hair. I left completely satisfied and I can't wait for my next devacut!!
