This prep is essential for a proper consultation. It allows us to see your curls clearly, avoid miscommunication, and discuss your goals together before we begin.

​

Haircut Prep

Come in with your hair fully down, dry, and in its natural state — how you usually wear it out.

✔ Wash-and-go styles are ideal. Products are fine — just avoid heavy oils or butters. Hair can be freshly washed or 2–3 days old, as long as we can see your curl pattern.

✔ If you usually wear a twist-out (or similar style), you may come in as is — just make sure your hair is untwisted and styled how you normally wear it.

✘ No braids, twists, buns, ponytails, hats, or scarves — these stretch or flatten your curls.

 

A $50 fee will be automatically added if prep is not followed.

Hair Color Prep

To get the best results, your hair must be:

✔ Clarified and fully cleansed – no buildup, oils, or heavy products.

✔ Detangled – free of knots and tangles.

✔ Completely product-free – clean strands help color absorb evenly.

If prep is not followed, extra time will be needed and an additional charge will be added to your hourly rate.
