This is a diagnostic-based, 90-minute dry haircutting service. Results depend on the physical state of your hair on arrival.
If your hair arrives same-day clean, product-free, and dry-cut ready, the service proceeds at the standard $400 flat rate. If it does not, the service converts to a wash-and-reset workflow with an additional fee of up to $100.
- Same-day clean: Washed and conditioned on the day of the booking, not the night before. Hair that is dull, slept on, product-coated, or scalp-oily cannot be assessed or cut dry. Shampoo thoroughly using a shampoo that produces lather. Condition. Rinse fully. Detangle. Air-dry or diffuse. Hair does not need to be fully dry.
- Product-free: No leave-in conditioner, heat protectant, gel, oil, serum, crème, curl cream, dry shampoo, co-wash, or residue-leaving cleansers.
- Dry-cut ready: Do not arrive with hair tied back, clipped, pinned, headbanded, straightened, brushed out, or blow-waved. No hats or beanies. Bike helmets are acceptable.
This preparation is not about habit, personal comfort, presentation, or judgement. It enables accurate diagnosis and ensures the dry cut reflects how your hair actually behaves.
To support a sensory-friendly space, do not wear perfume. Avoid bulky high-collar or turtleneck tops.
