Arrive with your curls in their natural state
Don’t arrive with a ponytail, bun or hair up. No styles that stretch or change your natural curl pattern. We cut dry, curl by curl, so we need to see your curls the way they fall.
Don’t brush, pick or comb your hair out
Detangle in the shower while wet and conditioned. Once dry, leave your curls alone so we can see how they sit naturally.
Wash 24–48 hours before your appointment
Cleanse, condition and style with no styling product on the day of your appointment. Avoid sulfates, silicones and heavy oils in the lead-up.
Skip heavy oils and butters
Avoid shea butter, coconut oil and similar products that weigh hair down or alter your pattern.
Bring photos if you have them
Examples of styles, shapes or lengths you love help us create a look that feels right for you.
Don’t flat-iron or blow-dry straight
We need to see the real shape and spring of your curls. If your hair has been recently straightened we may need to reschedule.
