Why a Curly Cut?
-Curly cuts are for anyone who desires to wear their hair curly most days. It is perfect for all wavy, curly, coily, or kinky curls alike.
​
-Curly cuts are done on dry hair to see the curl in its natural state. Dry cuts allow us to see how it lays and how well it plays with its neighboring curl textures.
​
-Curly cuts create nice shapes in the hair, complements facial features, maximizes your curl pattern, amplifies the volume (if desired), creates seamless layers, and blends different curl textures together.
​
-Even though I highly recommend a curly cut for most curls, it is not an absolute for all. Not every person needs or wants a Curly Cut. I am also capable of cutting your curls with a traditional wet cut. You can do this by selecting one of the non Curly Cut haircut options.
Which Curly Cut option do I book?
​
New guests desiring a Curly Cut MUST book a Signature Curly Cut. This allows for extra consultation time, shampooing, conditioning, and styling. Please allow 90 minutes of your time for this curl transformation.
​
Returning Curly Cuts can book a Express Curly Cut. This is ONLY a dry cut to maintain the current shape. No additional shampooing, styling, or education is provided. If it has been more than 16 weeks since your last Curly Cut with me or desire more than 3" off the length, you cannot book a express cut and will need to schedule a Curly Cut. Please allow 45 minutes of your time for this cut.
​
If you are just starting off your curl journey and are in need of some extra curl care or styling tips, I offer Curl Education without a haircut. At this appointment I will coach you on the how-to's of shampooing, styling, and care of your curls. Please book the Curl Education option. Allow 60 minutes of your time for this one-on-one coaching session.
​
Are you in need of both a Curly Cut and Curl Education? No problem, I have a booking option for you! Please select a Curly Cut with Education. Allow for 2 hours of your time for this total curl experience.
What Curl Cutting techniques are used?

Those methods included are:
Rëzocut Certfied Level 1 & level 2
Deva Cut Level 1
Curly Hair Artistry
Cut It Kinky
The Cado Curly Method
How should my hair be for my appointment?
-If you are coming in for a regular haircut- Do nothing. I will shampoo, condition, cut, and dry your hair for you. Flat ironing or curling the hair with an iron is an additional fee.
​
-If you are coming in for a signature curly cut- Please arrive for your appointment with your hair down, completely dry, and naturally curly/wavy with no clips, headbands, or ponytails. Minimal styling products are ok. No oils, butters, or heavy creams. If your hair has been straightened or is severely tangled, your appointment will either be rescheduled, or an additional charge will be added for the extra services required.
​
-If you are coming in for a color or highlight-Please come in with clean hair for best results. No heavy hairsprays , dry shampoos, or products on your hair. Failure to follow these guidelines can change the end result of your color. I highly recommend detoxing or clarifying of the hair 1 week before service day.
​
What hair coloring service do I book?
-An all over color or root touch ups are perfect for gray coverage. Pricing covers 1/2 inch of growth. Growth over 1/2 inch has additional costs. Please select the "Color" option for booking.
-A Highlight can be a partial foil that includes the top, side and crown of the head. A full foil would include the same areas as a partial foil plus the back of head. When booking this appointment please select one of the two options "Partial Highlight" or "Full Foil".
-A color with a highlights will take care of your meddlesome gray hairs and add dimension to your color. This service can be a full highlight or a partial highlight. Prices will vary depending on if it is a partial or a full head of foils. Multiple colors will also have addition fees. When booking this option please select the "Color with a highlight" option.
-Balayage is a technique of hand painting highlights into the hair that allows for longer times in between color services. These types of highlights are soft, well blended, and known as live-in colors. Balayage can have darker roots, color melts, or an ombre. All of these techniques would be booked under the "Balayage" option.
-Color Correction is the process of correcting or making complete changes to your existing color. Dark to light hair or back to gray hair is a correction. Light to dark hair all over color is not necessarily a correction. Color correction pricing is based off of an hourly wage. Most corrections starts at 3 hours and can take up to 8 hours or more. Please choose the "Color Correction" option for this service. A free 15 min "Consulation" is preferred for all color corrections, however, it is not required.
