How the main hair services work
Cuts for women and men
A women's haircut shapes the hair to your chosen length and finish, usually with a shampoo and blow dry. A men's haircut is a standard clipper and scissor cut, and a buzz cut is a short, uniform length. A haircut with shampoo adds a wash before the cut, and a beard trim with haircut covers the cut and beard shaping in one visit. A beard lineup sharpens the edges between full cuts.
Color and balayage
Full highlights and balayage lighten sections of hair for dimension, and they often take a couple of hours. Men's color is a shorter color service for gray coverage or a change in tone. Color services take longer than cuts, so allow more time and plan a gloss or toner between full visits to keep the tone fresh.
Silk press, blow dry, and wash-and-go
A silk press uses a blow dry and flat iron to straighten natural or relaxed hair, and the result lasts until the next wash or humidity returns. A blow and go is a styled blow dry for a smooth, voluminous finish, and a wash and go is a wash with a simple style. A shampoo and set on relaxed hair is a styled finish that suits clients who want volume without heat.
Starter locs and protective styles
Starter locs form new locs from natural hair, and they can be done on half or full head. Protective styles such as cornrows, Fulani braids, and tribal braids keep the hair in place for weeks. A kids' French braid is a shorter, gentler style for children. Ask about the install method and the time needed before you book.
