Real talk: haircuts are exciting. A fresh look, a little transformation, and a boost of “damn, I look good” energy? Yes, please.

But we get it—sometimes it’s hard to explain what you want or how you want to feel walking out. That’s where we come in.

Here’s how to walk into your next haircut feeling chill, confident, and 100% in control of your crown. 👑

1. Start With This: Let’s Talk About Your Hair Goals

We’ve got skills, but we’re not psychic (sadly). The more you tell us, the better we can tailor the cut to fit your lifestyle, vibe, and maintenance level.

Let’s chat about:

What you love about your current hair
What drives you a little nuts (flat roots, dry ends, random cowlicks—we’ve seen it all)
What kind of styling you’re into (If you don’t want to touch a blow dryer, tell us!)

👀 Got a pic of your hair on a good day? Show it. Got an inspo board? Love that for you—and for us.

2. Ask Questions Like You’re Hiring Your Dream Hair Team

This is your time. Ask all the questions, even the ones you think are “dumb” (they’re not). We’re here to help you understand the why behind the cut.

Some great ones:

Will this cut work with my natural texture?
Is this a wash-and-go style or will I need to style it?
What products will help me keep it looking fresh?
How long will this shape last before I need a trim?

We’re not just stylists—we’re your hair guides. Let us give you the tools to slay every day, not just post-salon.

3. Come As You Are—But Let Your Hair Be Free

No need to glam up for us—we love the real you. But if you can, come in with your hair clean-ish and down. That way we can see how it naturally moves, falls, and flows.

✨ Pro tips:

Day-old hair is ideal
Skip heavy oils or a ton of dry shampoo
Leave the top knot at home (your hair deserves to breathe!)

We just want to see your hair in its element, judgment-free. Promise.

4. Keep the Vibe Going with a Little Aftercare

You’re feelin’ yourself, your hair is poppin’, and now it’s time to keep that glow going at home.

Before you head out:

Ask how to style your new cut yourself. We’ll walk you through it—step by step.
Ask which products you need to achieve that look. A lot of what makes a style work isn’t just the fabulous cut or color—it’s the product game. We’ve got recs tailored to your hair goals.
Have your stylist show you how to apply it. Like, actually demo it in real time. So when you’re back in your bathroom with a round brush and a prayer, you know exactly what to do.
Ask how often to come in for trims or refreshes.
And go ahead and pre-book your next visit—future you will be so glad you did.

📱 Don’t forget to snap that selfie—we love seeing your post-salon strut. Tag us so we can hype you up properly.
