What to Expect with an AOKI Curly Hair Cut

We cater to clients with naturally curly and textured hair.

Having cut and styled curls for many years we offer our expertise and knowledge in the Aoki Approach which is an uncomplicated, healthy way to achieve shiny, hydrated curls.

EVERY DRY CURLY CUT INCLUDES:

  • Wet and dry curly hair cuts
  • Analysis of your facial shape, curly hair type, ideas on how to style your curls, and what products to use (and which to avoid)
  • Our professional curly hair products are used to prepare and style your hair after your dry cut
  • Cleanse, massage and styling
  • Treatments and styling without sulfates or silicones/cones
  • Hair colouring with Olaplex and Aveda hair treatments

If you’re not protecting your hair at home, you’re making your life harder than it should be. Using the correct products for your hair type, prolongs the salon life of your hair. Professional hair products are highly concentrated, meaning you have to use less product in your hair to achieve the results you want. 

At the start of your appointment is your consultation where your stylist will diagnose your hair and recommend what type of products you should be using.

What to Know Before Your Appointment

At Aoki Hair, we specialise in enhancing and celebrating your natural texture. A dry curly cut allows us to shape your curls in their natural state, giving you better definition, balance, and movement.

To ensure you get the best possible results from your appointment, it’s important to arrive with your hair properly prepared. Here’s what we recommend for all curly and wavy clients before a dry curly cut:

1. Arrive with Your Hair Clean, Dry, and Down

Dry curly cuts are performed on your hair as it naturally sits – so no ponytails, buns, braids, or clips.

  • Wash and condition your hair 24 to 48 hours before your appointment.
  • Allow your curls to air-dry or diffuse 100% without manipulating them too much.
  • Avoid heavy oils or styling creams that may weigh your hair down or alter your pattern.

2. Style Your Curls As You Normally Wear Them

We want to cut your hair based on how you wear it day-to-day. That means using your usual curl-friendly products and styling methods, whatever makes your curls look and feel their best.

If you’re unsure or transitioning to natural texture, let us know when booking. We can guide you on how to style for your current routine or help you adjust your approach going forward.

3. Detangle – But Don’t Brush Out Your Curls

If your curls are especially tangle-prone, we suggest detangling during your wash routine while your hair is still wet and conditioned. Once dry, avoid brushing or combing, it can disrupt your curl pattern and make it harder for your stylist to see how your hair behaves naturally.

4. Avoid Heat Styling

Please avoid flat ironing or blow-drying your hair straight before a dry curly cut. We need to see the real shape and spring of your curls. If your hair has been recently straightened, we may need to reschedule to ensure the cut reflects your natural curl pattern.

5. Be Honest About Your Hair History

Let us know if you’ve recently coloured, relaxed, or chemically treated your hair, or if you’re experiencing any damage or major changes. This helps us tailor the cut and care to your hair’s current condition.

6. Bring Photos

Pictures are always helpful! Bring examples of styles, shapes, or lengths you love so we can create a look that feels right for you.

7. Plan Your Time

We run a tight schedule and want to give every client the attention they deserve.

  • Please call if you’re running late – more than 15 minutes may require rescheduling.
  • No-shows may require a deposit for future bookings.
Important Information Regarding Highly textured or 4C Curls

If you have 4C curls or highly textured hair, we may need extra time and can provide a written quote if required.
If you have braids or dreadlocks when arriving for your haircut we will have to reschedule as we cannot cut hair in this form.

Why Proper Prep Matters

When your hair is prepared correctly, we can work with your texture, not against it – creating a cut that frames your face, enhances your natural pattern, and grows out beautifully.

If you’re unsure about how to prep, reach out before your appointment – we’re here to guide you through every step.
