    What Clients Say

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should curly hair be cut wet or dry?

    We typically cut curly hair dry so we can see exactly how each curl falls and behaves. This produces the most accurate, flattering results.

    How often should I cut my curly hair?

    Every 8–12 weeks is ideal for maintaining shape and health. If you are growing your hair out, we recommend trims every 12–16 weeks to prevent split ends.

    Do you work with all curl types?

    Yes! We work with all curl patterns from loose waves (2A) to tight coils (4C). Each curl type requires a different approach, and our stylists are trained in them all.
