FAQ
What cut should I book?
All new clients should book a 90 minute session. If your hair is very thick and very long I recommend booking 120 minutes. These longer appointments allow for a thorough consultation that won’t interrupt the time spent executing the haircut. I only charge for the time used. If you need more guidance on which timeframe to book please send me a message!

Please read about my 24-hour cancellation policy in your confirmation email.
How do I prep my hair?
Please come in with your hair worn either naturally or how you “normally” wear it styled. No more than a day old is best but if it still feels clean and looks good then I don’t mind it a little “lived in.”
Please don’t wear it in a ponytail or pulled back as I prefer to see how your hair falls naturally. ESPECIALLY IF THIS IS A CURLY CUT! I need to see your curls intact for best results.

What is drycutting?
This a technique where the whole cut is done on dry hair. This allows me to work with growth patterns, curls, cowlicks and density as they are.
Who is drycutting good for?
Everyone! However, I consider this type of cut best for those who wear their hair naturally (i.e., curly hair or wash-and-wear clients).
Do you do wet cuts?
Yes, I decide during the consultation if a wet cut is needed for the desired result.
