Haircuts

Ladies Haircut

1 hour · $90

More info This service does not include a Blow Dry. Please arrive with clean, dry and brushed hair. I am a skilled dry hair cutter. When I dry cut I get to see the movement of the hair, where most of the weight is and how much really needs to be cut off. When hair is cut wet, many stylists are following a formula and simply doing the movements that they were taught. When hair is cut dry, a completely individual, custom haircut is created especially for the person. I cut by eye and create movement within the hair so no matter which way the wind moves it your hair will look amazing and fall into place. View less

Please note: if a 'Styled' cut (layers, curtain fringes, matting removal) is required then please book an adult service. The cutting techniques required are the same and I will need the extra time.

More info Repair Damaged Hair.
All hair types (natural, curly, fine, straight, etc.) derive most of their integrity from healthy, properly paired, disulfide bonds. Bonds break when exposed to chemicals (powder lightening product, permanent and demi-permanent dye), thermal, mechanical and environmental forces, resulting in single sulfur hydrogen bonds. Olaplex works by finding single sulfur hydrogen bonds and cross linking them back together to form disulfide bonds before, during and after services. View less
