Before you book

Book a stylist who regularly cuts your texture, and arrive with your hair in its natural state so they can see how it actually falls.

Frequently asked questions

Should curly hair be cut wet or dry?

Many curly specialists cut dry, because wet curls stretch and spring up shorter when they dry. If your stylist cuts wet, ask them to allow for shrinkage so the finished length is not a surprise.

What do I ask my stylist or barber for?

Ask for a cut designed for your hair type — for curls, that often means cutting dry, curl by curl; for straight hair, precise blunt lines with soft internal layering.
