Frequently
Asked Questions

What is a Curly Cut?​
A Curly Cut is more than a dry cut — it’s a technique, a process, and a relationship with your curls. Curly hair behaves differently than straight hair and requires specialized cutting methods, education, and time.
Hair is cut dry, in its natural state, then cleansed, conditioned, styled, dried, and refined once fully dry. This allows for precise shaping that honors curl pattern, movement, and shrinkage.
Appointments typically take up to two hours, especially for first-time clients or those new to this method.
​
Pricing reflects advanced education and experience, individualized technique, and extended appointment time.
​​​​​
Why do you specialize in curly hair?​
Over 65% of the world’s population has textured hair — yet most cosmetology education is still based on straight, European hair models.
This leaves many people feeling misunderstood, frustrated, and disconnected from their natural texture. My work is rooted in shifting that experience through specialized cutting, curl education, and personalized care.
​
What is your cutting philosophy?
Curly hair isn’t meant to be fixed, tamed, or controlled.
Every service is treated as a collaborative art project, blending your natural texture, lifestyle, and personal style. I use multiple cutting approaches to create balance, movement, and longevity — always enhancing what your hair naturally wants to do.
​
Do you cut straight hair?
Yes — I also offer precision dry cuts for straight and wavy hair.
Every stylist starts their career cutting straight hair.
Dry cutting allows for customized shaping based on how your hair naturally falls, creating softer movement and a more wearable finish, especially for clients who prefer air-dried or low-styled looks.
​
What products do you use?
I prioritize high-quality, non-toxic, silicone-free products and routines that support long-term hair health.
This approach often means unlearning misinformation, letting go of ineffective habits, and simplifying routines for healthier, more consistent results.
