The same personalized technique is used when cutting any amount off of your hair. Therefore, the appointment is always booked as a Kurl Cut and the pricing remains the same.

Do You Offer Any Styles Other Than a "Wash and Go"?

No, our stylist do not perform any twist-outs, protective styles, blowouts, or flat ironing following a Kurl Cut.

We prefer to see the natural shape of the hair to ensure that we cut and shaped your curls appropiately. If we were to manipulate your curl pattern in the salon and then cut it, we would risk cutting too much hair off.

Please do not forget, you have different curl patterns all over your head that will read completely differently when it is in an altered state. How do you wear your hair 90% of the time? That is how you should get it cut.

What is the Difference Between the Deva Cut and the Rezo Cut?

A Deva Cut is mainly utilized when cutting curly or wavy hair. It differs from the conventional haircut because the hair is cut in its dry and natural state. This allows the stylist to see the TRUE length of the curls with a better insight and understanding of the long lasting results that the client will sustain once maintaining their hair at home. (Basically, we don’t cut you wet, blow-dry you all fancy and then make you wonder, “what happened” a few days later when you style it yourself). A Rezo Cut is another curly cut with it's foundation in the Deva techniques, but will achieve things that a Deva Cut does not always achieve. The most notable being, the request of "More Volume, Keep the Length". The Rezo Cut is great for allowing curly girls to have additional volume while maintaining longer hair. When you arrive for your appointment, we will more than likely perform a combination of techniques to answer all of your needs and requests.

How Should My Hair be Prepared for My Appointment?

THINK DAY ONE HAIR!!! The Kurl Cut requires that we cut your hair in its most natural, dry, down and detangled curly state. The best way for you to do this is to reset your curls with the attitude that you were going to work. We need your curls to have some product in them, but so much where we can not get our hands through your hair. When we ask for your curls to be detangled, that does not imply for your to brush or comb your curl pattern out. We need to see your curls in their natural structure without knots and being matted. When we ask for your curls to be down, please do not stretch your curl pattern by combing or brushing. Our stylists want to see your curls in a natural state with no manipulation or stetching from a ponytail, bobby pins and other accessories. If you arrive with your hair pulled back, braided, wet or matted you will be charged an additional $25 dollar fee for the stylist to reset you. When a reset is needed, each haircut will take a minimum of 90 minutes, please plan your other activities and appointments accordingly. We also request that you arrive in this state for any Color and Pintura Services as well.

I Want Highlights. Which Ones Should I Choose?

Full Pintura: Looking for a change, without losing yourself? Looking for even results from top to bottom? This is a Full Pintura. This will allow you to incorporate additional rich tones alongside your very own that will produce soft dimension as if it is your own color. Partial Pintura: What is the amount of color your would like to see in your hair? Are you desiring a "sun - kissed" look right on top and framing your face? The lower half of the head is not included in the coloring process. This look is meant for those who are newer to getting color done or updating their Full Pintura. This gives a very natural amount dimension to the curls. Mini Pintura: Just a few pieces? Adding dimension to your Root Touch Up? A mini pintura gives the illusion of an updated Pintura service due to placement of color. This is great as a quick touch up of color. If you are new to color, we recommend a Partial Pintura. We use the foundational coloring techniques of Pintura Highlighting, Balayage and RezoLites to create custom colors for every client. We paint this way because it allows more application freedom and we are able to individually identify which curls add more dimension to someone’s individual texture. Sometimes we use foil as well.
