curls
A Curly Cut is a dry-cutting technique specifically designed for curly, wavy, and coily hair. Unlike traditional haircuts, which are often done on wet hair, a Curly Cut enhances the natural curl pattern, ensuring the shape and length suit the curls' natural movement.
Curly hair behaves differently when dry versus wet. Cutting curls dry allows the stylist to see their natural pattern and fall, ensuring the final shape is balanced and flattering.
Anyone with curly, wavy, or coily hair can benefit from a Curly Cut. It's particularly ideal for those who want to define their curls, enhance volume, or ensure even shaping for their unique texture.
Depending on hair length, density, and curl type, a Curly Cut appointment can take 1.5 to 4 hours. The process includes a thorough consultation, cutting, and a styling session to teach clients how to maintain their curls.
