Wash & Condition:
Shampoo and condition your hair the day before or morning of your appointment to ensure it’s clean and hydrated

Thoroughly:
Detangle your curls completely with conditioner, ideally in the shower, to ensure they are as defined as possible and to make the cutting process smoother. 

Use Minimal Products:
Apply a lightweight, water-based leave-in cream or spray, but avoid heavy styling products that can weigh your curls down or obscure your natural texture. 

Dry Completely:
Let your hair dry fully to see your natural curl pattern.

During the Appointment

Wear Your Hair Down:
Come with your hair down and in its natural state, avoiding ponytails, braids, buns, hair ties, or clips that can disrupt your curl pattern. 

Bring Inspiration Photos:
Provide your stylist with detailed pictures of what you like and dislike to help communicate your hair goals and ensure a successful outcome. 

Be Prepared to Communicate:
Share your hair history, styling routine, and any specific challenges you face with your stylist to help them create the best cut for your hair.
