Preparation Notes

This is a close-contact, diagnostic-based, 90-minute dry haircutting service. The process depends on being able to work with and accurately read your hair in its natural state on arrival. If anything below feels unclear, that’s okay—just ask. These preparation notes are here to support the work, not to test you.

• Same-day clean: Shampooed and conditioned on the day of the booking, not the night before. Please shampoo thoroughly. Use conditioner if this is part of your normal routine. Rinse fully. Detangle. Air-dry or diffuse. Hair does not need to be fully dry.
• Product-free: Please arrive without leave-in conditioner, heat protectant, gel, oil, serum, crème, curl cream, dry shampoo, or other residue-leaving products.
• 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 close-contact work and establishes a baseline so the dry cut reflects how your hair actually behaves before any product is applied.

To support a sensory-friendly space, please do not wear perfume. Avoid bulky high-collar or turtleneck tops.

If the hair arrives in a condition that prevents a standard workflow, the session may need to be converted to a wash-and-reset workflow with an additional fee.
