Getting more from these captions

Post before and after
A two-image carousel with the old cut first and the new one second gets more swipes than a single photo. The caption can just say what changed.
Shoot in natural light
Colour and shine show best by a window or outdoors in soft light. Flash flattens hair and washes out the tones.
Name the stylist
If you liked the salon, tag it. It helps small salons and often brings a reply or a reshare.

Questions

What should I write under a new haircut photo?

Mention the feeling, not the price, like 'Short hair, long list of things I'm ready for.' A line about change works well.

Are there captions for curly hair?

Yes, there is a long hair and curls section with both playful and proud lines.

Can men use these captions?

Yes, most of them are neutral. The short hair and funny sections especially suit a new fade or a scruffy day.
