Hair Preperation

FOR FULL CURLY CUT & EXPRESS CUT

Textured hair is easily manipulated when moving throughout a cut, which is why we always cut dry with curls in their most natural state.

We cut hair dry for our textured clients, so please arrive for your appointment with a fresh Wash and Go style at least 48 hours before your appointment, without having worn your hair tied back/up. If you have a sensitive scalp and are prone to have large knots, we do not recommend more than 24hrs.

ARRIVE with a "wash & Go"

A Wash & Go style means to cleanse your scalp, condition and fully detangle your hair on wash day, then style your hair with lightweight products of choice. We ask that you avoid using oily and heavily weighted products, as they can leave a heavy residue layered on your curls once dry. Ideally, the products used should allow us to access your hair easily throughout the cut. Dry as you normally would to ensure the accuracy of your curls’ natural state - letting it air dry or diffusing.

Never arrive with your hair matted & tangled.

We simply cannot begin the cut this way. If you arrive totally unprepared for your service, you will be charged for the appointment and your appointment will be rescheduled immediately. Rarely do we choose to proceed with washing first and then cutting, as we usually do not have time to restyle it. If there is time to style it again, you will be charged for the additional style.

Recommended for all NEW and RETURNING clients

Please Note....

Hair should be worn down and completely dry for appointment

Do not pull, pin, tie or push hair down tightly, as this stretches the curls too much - especially around your face

If you did not follow hair prep recommendations and detangling your hair takes longer than the given time for your service, you will be charged a detangling fee. Please note that a $25 fee begins at every 15-minute interval past wash time. This charge is non-negotiable.

Please do not have your hair in any kind of twist, braids or updo since it can change your curl/wave pattern and direction** REMEMBER… after consulting, we begin the service by cutting dry. **We understand some appointments are after work hours where you may need to style your hair back, so we can understand if hair is loosely tucked using bobby pins or butterfly clips and without any tension on the curls. Please use your best judgment!

If you choose to Wash & Go directly before your appointment and are concerned it will not be dry on time, please check in with us! We might be able to accommodate your arrival a few minutes before your appointment to finish drying under our hooded dryer. Send us an email ahead of time if you would like to consider this option.

Please choose your appointment time wisely where you can accommodate hair prep into your schedule. We have a strict 24hour cancellation policy for last minute cancellations. (see stylists page for charges)
