Hair Prep

• Please arrive with your hair 100% dry and in its natural state. This helps me see your true texture and tailor your cut accordingly.

• Ensure your hair has been cleansed and detangled within the last 3 days meaning you detangled your hair in the shower on wash day. If you are cleansing the day of your appointment, please allow enough time for your hair to be completely dry from roots to ends.

• A light leave-in conditioner is preferred, but a lightweight styling product like a styling foam is ok if you have tighter curls.

• Please avoid any heavy butters, oils, pomades, firm hold hairsprays, or strong-hold gels (such as Cantu or EcoStyler), as they can make it difficult to see your hair’s natural movement and shape.

• Make sure your hair has been cleansed and detangled within the last 3 days.

• No ponytails, headbands, braids, buns, hats, or anything else that may disrupt the natural fall and flow of your hair. This includes hair that is straight.

• Please do not brush out or restyle your natural texture once dry unless that’s how you normally wear it.

Most Importantly-Please avoid over-manipulating or stretching your curls

EX: curls created with a Denman brush (or similar), finger coiling, hats, buns, clips, headbands, braids and braid outs, twists, twist outs, or ponytails, etc.

All appointments begin with a dry cut. Seeing your natural texture allows me to create a customized shape for your unique hair type.
