This isn’t a “quick trim and vibes” situation. Every service is tailored to your pattern, density, and the look you’re going for—soft glam, bouncy definition, big volume… say less.

1 | The Signature Curl Cut

A curl-by-curl cut designed to make your shape look good from every angle—like… even the back. Includes cleanse + style.


Best for: bringing your curls back to life + getting your shape together

MEET YOUR CURL SPECIALIST & TEXTURE HYPE WOMAN

MONICA SMITH

MONICA SMITH

I created Curl Pop Studio for anyone who’s ever been told their curls were “too much.”
Too much volume. Too much shrinkage. Too much frizz. Too much personality.

(Yeah… no.)

Here, we don’t “tame” curls—we style them with intention. I specialize in shaping, hydrating, and defining curls so they look expensive, effortless, and very you. You’ll leave with a look you love and the know-how to keep it popping at home—because cute curls shouldn’t be a once-a-month event.

Meet Monica
  • “Monica is the first stylist who actually listened to my curl goals. My cut is flawless, my curls are defined without feeling heavy, and I walked out feeling like I should’ve had paparazzi waiting outside. The best part? I can actually recreate it at home.”
