Before you arrive
- Come with clean, dry hair unless we ask otherwise — no heavy oils or wax.
- Bring reference photos for color or curl pattern goals.
- Tell us about recent color, bleach, or home treatments.
What to avoid
- Do not bleach or color at home right before your appointment.
- Avoid swimming and heavy sweating 24 hours before if possible.
- Plan enough time — perms and color take longer than a standard cut.
