  • How to arrive to appointment...

    To ensure the best possible result of your curly cut, hair needs to be in its natural curly state, down (no ponytails or buns), and 100% dry, with minimal product. 

    Not arriving to your appointment prepared and on time can adversely effect the appointment, the service styling results, result in additional fees or cancellation of the appointment!

  • What to expect...

    As a new guest, your appointment will start the moment you walk into the salon studio. 

The appointment will begin with a consultation. During the consultation we will have a detailed conversation about you and your curls, your haircare needs, your haircare struggles, your lifestyle, and your curl goals.

Next, we will do an assessment of your hair. Together we will decide our plan of action for the appointment and a long term plan that will get you on the right path for proper curl care so you can achieve your curl goals.

If you’ve never had a curly haircut, your in for a surprise!  We begin by cutting the hair dry, in its natural curly state.  This helps me to see where the hair will fall when it’s dry and styled.  This also helps minimize the unpredictability of the curls shrinking. It allows me, as the curl specialist, to account for different curl patterns in the hair and any areas of concern. 

Once the cut is complete, the hair is cleansed and styled.  At this time that we go over everything the guest needs to know about their curls from A to Z during a styling lesson!  The guest gets to watch step by step how the hair is styled with a detailed explanation for everything from “why curls get frizzy” to how to properly diffuse.  

Book an Appointment

Lastly, the guest’s curls are dried.  The guest leaves with a new curl regiment and knowledge of how to properly care for their curls!
