Firstly, I get it.
There’s a moment in every consultation when I see it… the sigh of relief. It happens when my client realises that, as a curly girl myself, I truly get it. I’ve been there. I understand what it is to have curls; the frustrations, the triumphs, the blessing, the curse, and all the moments in between. I know how hard it is to get haircuts for curly hair and as a client of mine you’re no longer alone on your curl journey – I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Preparation is Everything
I always have one big request: come to me for your appointment on a “good hair day” (or as close as you can get). This lets me see how your curls naturally behave, so I can meet you exactly where you are, no guesswork, no assumptions.
The Appointment
You’ll be warmly welcomed into my curly hair salon and not just as a client, but as part of a curl-loving community.
Once in the chair, this is your space. Tell me your vision for your hair, for example, what do you need and what are you hoping for? Bring photos, inspiration, and ideas or anything that helps paint the picture.
I want to hear your curl story; the history, the products you’ve tried, your lifestyle and what you want from your curls. I want to hear how your curls are showing up for you on a daily basis. Having listened, I’ll offer my professional feedback and tell you what I think would work for your hair. Once we’re in agreement, it’s time to get to work.
Sculpted Curl by Curl, Just for You
Your cut will be completely tailored and informed by the plan we’ve made it’ll be a curl-by-curl cut and sculpting process that celebrates the unique way your hair moves and lives.
Seeing yourself reflected with your curls truly loved and understood can be a powerful thing.
Curly Spa Time: Detox or Hydration?
Once your cut is complete, we move to the cleansing stage. Based on what I’ve seen and felt in your hair, I may recommend a detox to remove product buildup, or a deep hydration treatment because let’s face it, hydration is a curly girl’s best friend.
I’ll give your curls what they need to reset and thrive.
Styling: Where the Magic Happens
After a final rinse, we head into the most mind-blowing part for many clients, the styling. This is where the real curl definition is born, during conditioning and styling.
I’ll choose the perfect styling products from Only Curls, selected just for your unique texture. And I won’t just apply them, I’ll teach you how to use them, step-by-step.
Curly Hair Education, Empowerment & The Big Reveal
Next, we move into drying. I’ll show you how to create volume exactly where you want it, and how to achieve juicy, hydrated, defined curls – every time. Because let’s be real, that’s the dream, isn’t it?
And then it’s time for the big reveal. It’s often emotional, sometimes even life-changing. Seeing yourself reflected with your curls truly loved and understood can be a powerful thing.
When Should You Come Back?
This is the most common question I get: “When should I book my next appointment?”.
My answer? I want you to become the expert on your own hair. Trust your intuition. You’ll feel when it’s time. For some, that’s every 12 weeks. For others, it might be six months. Every curl journey is different.
Until then, I’ll be here, cheering you and your curls on every step of the way!
