Who I Am

Hannah Jak

As a teenager, I didn’t realize my hair was curly. Lacking a curl mentor, I picked up a flat iron and used it for the next eight years.

Finally, I was fed up with the time and energy it took and found a way to style my hair that was easier and made me feel both professional and beautiful.

I want to help others find this same joy. After studying and adapting a wide variety of curly cutting and styling techniques, I decided to specialize exclusively in curly hair. I’ve now been a curl specialist since 2013.

When I’m not wielding my shears, I spend time with my husband and twin toddlers, make food for my friends and family, and ride my bike around Minneapolis.

Come hang out with me. I have ideas for your hair!

Why choose us

Life Coaching for your hair

This is not just a haircut ­ it’s an experience, like life-coaching for your hair. Come with your questions and a confusing world will be detangled in front of you, whether you’re looking to start a better everyday beauty routine, get product recommendations, or simply get inspired to try something new.

Life is too short not to feel beautiful in your own curls.

No one deserves the same cut. I’m not the Curl Police or a slave to one curly method. I know that even as a card-carrying member of Curlies Club, your hair texture and growth patterns are as unique as your fingerprints. At The Curl Co, I want you to find your way to love your curls.

Why do we dry cut?

When curls are combed out and cut wet, they spring back, revealing holes and bulky spots once they dry. I cut your curls dry. That way you and I can watch the shape emerge together, working with your curls and their spring factor while they sit how you actually wear them. Genius? I think so.

"Highly recommend Hannah! My hair was dead before I came in, but she revived it. Me as a dude, I don't know what the heck I'm suppose to do when it comes to my hair. With that being said she educated me extensively on what I should be doing, and what products would best suit my hair. Hannah, thank you so much again for all your help! 🙏 If you're looking for guidance on how to achieve nice healthy curls, please come to her. Promise you won't regret it!"

"Hannah is amazing! I was dealing with thinning hair and curls that seemed to have given up on life, but she brought my hair back. My curls look so alive and defined now that my wife literally said, "Wow!" when she saw me. Not only that, but she took the time to educate me on how to care for my curls going forward. Truly a wonderful experience."

"I had my first appointment with Hannah today, and it will not be the last. Not only did she give me a great cut and style, she taught me which products to use and how to use them at home. My hair has never looked this good! I also really enjoyed getting to know Hannah. She knows what she's doing (her own gorgeous curls are proof!), and she's easy to talk to.

Update: I've been seeing Hannah 1-2 times a year for about seven years now, and I recommend her to every curly I know. She's so good at what she does, and she's so easy to talk to. And I take my daughter to see her now too. She did a great job making her first haircut fun and not scary."

"Hannah has a wonderful energy. She was so meticulous and careful with my hair, ensuring that I got exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed our conversations, and appreciated all of her knowledge on curly hair. My hair feels and looks fantastic. I’m definitely going to be referring my curly haired gal pals to her and will be returning myself in the future. If you’re particular about your curls and are looking for someone who will listen to you and individualize your haircut, Hannah is the perfect person!"

“I came in with damaged straight/wavy hair and frizzy beach waves. After getting a haircut and tutorial on how to style my hair and product recommendations, I now have distinct smooth waves/large curls that hold their shape for days. It's like my hair has been released from its shackles! Hannah is also the kindest person ever. It was a wonderful experience!”

“As a guy with curly hair, it's pretty hard to find a good cut. Hannah was awesome. She helped me learn how to style hair now that it is longer and figure out how to care for it. Best cut and style I have had since I started growing my hair out 2 years ago.”
We'd love to see you
