We take the time to hear your story and create a game plan for your curls based on your goals and lifestyle. We can go over what products you are using and determine whether they are helping or hurting your curls. We make recommendations and explain what your curls need and why. We do a dry curly cut after the consultation and then start the cleanse and hydrate session (aka shampoo and condition). This is where the education and curl transformation happens. Then we style your curls and show you how to recreate the same look at home. Afterward, we may perform a detailed cutting to perfect your shape if needed.
Every curl needs the same basic care; however, every client has a different starting point and will have to go through a transition time to get to that sweet spot with curly hair, where it finally feels simple to care for, healthier, and thriving. In the meantime, we work together at each appointment to help you embrace your curls and overcome any obstacles you face between appointments.
I'd like to thank you in advance for following these instructions, which will allow me to give you the best service possible and complete your service within the time allotted in my schedule. I do my absolute best to run on time for my guests, and following these instructions is an integral part of that process.
To help you get the best haircut and also the best overall experience, please do the following:
Please wash, style, and fully dry your hair within 24 hours of your appointment to help me give you the best and most accurate cut possible. Arrive with your hair in a freshly styled state that accurately represents how you usually style it, including the usual products you use. Please don't arrive with your hair in a ponytail or bun. These styles will disrupt your natural curl pattern, and it is not the ideal way to be worn for me to give you the quality cut that I'm known for. During the curly cut, I begin by cutting the hair dry, then wash and style it. That is why it is imperative that you follow these instructions.
***If you cannot style your hair curly, you need to book a Curl Discovery first, where we review the steps to style your hair. You will also be sent a curl guide to help you stay on track with the styling.***
Thank you for following these steps, and feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
During this appointment, your hair will be styled, so there are no requirements regarding how to wear it. Just come as you are, and let me show you the rest.
Please wear a shirt without a collar to color appointments. While it is rare, color may end up on clothing, so please keep that in mind when dressing for your appointment. I suggest bringing an old T-shirt to change into under your cape to guarantee the safety of your clothing. To further protect your clothing, I recommend changing into a wrap. Recoiled Salon is not responsible for clothing during a color service.
Please plan to arrive ten minutes before your appointment time to guarantee you will be available when your service is scheduled to begin. Consider traffic (or construction zones) for the time of day of your appointment. Major surrounding roads can get congested and as much as double your commute time, especially around 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Late arrivals can throw my day into chaos and cause a domino effect of unnecessary stress and tension for both my clients and myself, so my policy is that I do not accept late arrivals after 15 minutes.
If you arrive 15 minutes past the start of your appointment, I will not be able to provide your service, and you'll need to reschedule. If you're late, I may not be able to give you the full service that you booked. I also may have to reschedule you for another time when I can complete your service without rushing to stay on schedule for the rest of the day.
