Be Kekoa Salon

Be Kekoa Salon is a hair salon built around natural curls, waves and coils. Its best-known service is the Curly Cut, which includes a consultation, a cut, a Spa Mist curl hydration treatment and a wash-and-go style. The salon also offers wash-and-set styling, twist-outs and hydration appointments, while color is available only by special request. The team sells handcrafted curl care products for use at home.

Appointments are booked online, and each stylist keeps a separate weekly schedule, so check availability for the person you want. Curly cuts can take two hours or more because of length and density, and prices vary accordingly. An aromatherapy steam can be added to most services for an extra $5. The main salon is in Old Town Temecula, and there is a second studio in Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley. Clients often describe the atmosphere as warm, relaxed and welcoming.
