About Mottam

The Mottam style is a distinctive hair finish originating from Tamil hairstyling traditions, characterized by its sleek, smooth texture and elegantly rounded ends. This look is achieved through precise blow-drying and flat ironing techniques, resulting in a polished appearance that enhances hair shine and straightness. It is particularly favored by women seeking a refined, sophisticated style for everyday wear or special occasions. In Birmingham, clients often choose Mottam for its ability to provide a smooth, manageable finish that suits various hair types and lengths, making it a versatile option. At Niyo Hair and Beauty, our stylists specialize in this technique, ensuring high-quality results. Our AI assistant, jorra.ai, can help you learn more and book an appointment tailored to your needs.
