Curly hair

 

Wavy, curly, coily and kinky textures are all welcome. There is no such thing as being “not curly enough” for a specialist appointment.

Every appointment starts with your hair — how it behaves, how you wear it, what you love about it and what you’re struggling with. We’ll talk through your hair history, lifestyle and goals before deciding what your curls need.

I’m trained in a range of curly cutting methods and techniques, but I don’t follow one rigid system. I use structural dry cutting alongside techniques chosen for your individual curl pattern, density, shrinkage, movement and the shape we want to create.

For cut appointments, please arrive with your hair completely dry, worn down and in its natural curl pattern, with minimal manipulation. Avoid tying it up, plaiting, stretching or heavily refreshing it beforehand, as I need to see how your curls naturally sit and move.

Where cleansing and styling are included, we’ll also look at your current routine and I can recommend products and techniques that suit your hair, lifestyle and the results you want to achieve.

I work with a carefully selected range of professional curl products rather than one single brand, allowing me to choose what works best for the hair in front of me.

Treatments can also be added to selected services where additional detoxification, hydration, strengthening or bond support is needed.

 

Can I come with products in my hair?

Yes, light styling products are absolutely fine. Please avoid heavy, sticky or greasy products, and don’t heavily refresh your hair on the day of your appointment. Your hair should be completely dry, worn down and as close to its usual natural curl pattern as possible.

Which curly cut appointment should I book?

Short/Cropped is for short styles and cropped curls.

Medium/Long is for hair from around chin length and below, and allows the additional time needed for longer lengths and/or higher density.

If you’re unsure which option is right for you, you can send a photo with your booking and I’ll let you know.

Can I have a colour with my curly cut?

Yes. Colour and curly cutting can be combined within the same appointment where appropriate.

Colour appointments are currently available to existing colour clients only, as my colour client list is currently at capacity.

Your cleanse, treatment where required, and finished curl style are included within your colour service, so you do not need to book a separate wash & diffuse.
