Curly Hair Cut Preparation Guide
Get Ready for Your Best Curly Cut
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.
Preparing Your Hair for a Dry Curly Cut
Quick Prep Checklist
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:
- 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.
- Please call if you’re running late – more than 15 minutes may require rescheduling.
- No-shows may require a deposit for future bookings.
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.
