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

Without having wearing your hair tied back/up, please arrive for your appointment with a fresh “Wash and Go” style at least 48 hours before your appointment. (Less than 24hrs if you have a sensitive scalp and are prone to have large knots.)

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. 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 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 and tangled.

If you arrive unprepared for your service, you will be charged for the appointment and your appointment will be rescheduled immediately. Rarely do I choose to proceed with washing first and then cutting, as I 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

• 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. NOTE: After consulting, we begin the service by cutting dry. I 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 me first! I might be able to accommodate your arrival a few minutes before your appointment to finish drying under our hooded dryer. Send me 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. I have a strict 48 Hour cancellation policy for last minute cancellations.
