Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals—whether a trim to maintain your current style or a restyle—followed by precision cutting and a blow-dry tailored to your hair type and how you style at home. ## What to Expect Your stylist will start with a **consultation** to understand your desired length, shape, and finish, taking into account your face shape, hair texture, and daily styling routine. Depending on your hair type and the cut, your hair may be washed and conditioned first or cut dry for precision on textured or curly hair. The **cutting process** uses techniques suited to your hair: - **Blunt cutting** for clean, strong lines and one-length styles - **Layering** to add movement, volume, or reduce weight - **Point cutting** and texturising for softer, natural edges - **Dry cutting** for curly or textured hair to work with your natural pattern Once the cut is complete, your stylist will **blow-dry and style** your hair using brushes, straighteners, or curling tools to create volume, smoothness, or texture as desired. Small refinements are made during finishing to perfect the shape and balance once your hair is dry. ## Who It Suits This service is ideal if you want a **haircut with a polished finish** but no colour work. It works well for: - Regular trims to maintain your current style and remove split ends - A restyle or new shape with professional styling to show you the result - Clients with **curly or textured hair** who benefit from dry cutting and curl-aware finishing - Anyone looking for a **low-maintenance cut** that still looks great between salon visits If you're planning a colour service in future, mention this during your consultation so your cut is shaped to complement upcoming colour placement. ## Styling and Aftercare Your stylist will use **heat protectant, volumising or smoothing products**, and finishing sprays to create your look and protect your hair. During the blow-dry, they'll explain the techniques and products used so you can recreate the style at home with minimal effort. **Aftercare tips** to maintain your cut: - Book a trim every **6–8 weeks** to keep your shape fresh and ends healthy - Use the recommended products for your hair type to preserve texture and manageability - Protect hair from heat damage with a heat protectant spray before styling - For curly hair, preserve your natural pattern with curl-friendly products and avoid over-straightening Your stylist will tailor advice to your specific cut, hair type, and how much time you want to spend styling at home.

Appointments typically take 45–75 minutes depending on your hair length, thickness, and the complexity of the cut and styling. Shorter or simpler trims may be quicker, while long or thick hair can take the full duration. Is my hair washed before cutting? Most cut and finish services include a wash and condition to ensure hair is clean and manageable. For curly or textured hair, your stylist may recommend a dry cut to work with your natural pattern and see how the hair sits in real life. What should I bring to my appointment? Bring example photos of styles you like, as visual references help your stylist understand your desired length, shape, and finish more accurately than descriptions alone. Mention any styling limitations or daily routine considerations during your consultation. Can I get a cut and finish if I have curly hair? Yes. Many stylists use dry cutting techniques for curly and textured hair to work with your natural curl pattern and avoid the shape-change that can happen when curls are wet and stretched. Discuss your texture and styling preferences during consultation. Does a cut and finish include colour? No. This service is for cutting and styling only. Colour work—such as tinting, highlights, or balayage—is booked separately and typically takes substantially longer. How often should I book a cut and finish? Most clients return every 6–8 weeks to maintain their shape and remove split ends. Your stylist will recommend a schedule based on how your specific cut grows out and your hair health goals. Will my stylist show me how to style my hair at home? Yes. During the blow-dry, your stylist will explain the techniques and products they're using and can demonstrate how to recreate the look with minimal effort between appointments. What if I'm not sure how much length to take off? Be clear during consultation about how much length you're comfortable losing. If uncertain, ask your stylist to work in stages—taking a little first, then checking with you before cutting more—to avoid any surprises. Can I book a cut and finish before a colour appointment? It's usually best to have colour done first, then cut and style, so your stylist can shape the cut to complement the colour placement. Mention your plans during consultation so your stylist can advise on timing.
