WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SERVICE
​
-
We understand that many individuals with curly hair have had negative experiences and trauma from previous haircuts. We are committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for you during your appointment.
-
Before beginning the haircut, we will have a thorough consultation to discuss your desired style, and hair concerns. We will only cut what you have given permission to cut.
-
In most cases, the haircut will be done on dry hair to ensure accurate shaping and length control for your curls. This allows us to see how your curls naturally fall and behave.
-
After the haircut is completed, your hair will be shampooed and conditioned using high-quality products specifically formulated for curly hair. We will then style your curls to enhance their natural beauty!
-
We will take the time to inspect your hair and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the final result.
​
CONSULTATIONS
Consultations are encouraged prior to the day of service to get a feel for each before embarking on this relationship. It will also allow time to access the current state of your hair, home care and hair goals. Add on enhancements will be discussed at that time as well.

CURLY CUT AT-HOME PREPARATION: 3 steps
​
1. DETOX & EXFOLIATE: (For the best results) At least a week before your appointment, prepare to detox and clarify your hair. Discontinue products that contain silicones, butters, or oils. Start by shampooing your hair with an oil-free/ butter-free/ silicone- free clarifying shampoo. The shampoo will be labeled “clarifying” or ‘detoxifying”. The following products tend to contain at least one of the following mentioned above: Shea Moisture, Cantu, Camille Rose, Pantene, As I Am etc. Our favorite is Un-doo Go by Malibu C which can be purchased here
***This is your prep work and will receive a treatment on your day of service as well. This step is strongly suggested but not required.
2. CONDITION: We recommend any conditioner by Innersense or K18 leave in which can be purchased at Persimmon Salon or here
3. STYLE Please arrive with your hair detoxed, conditioned, in a dry Wash and Go/ Curly Set (your best curls). Your hair should be as defined as possible using a water- based curl defining product. We recommend anything from I create hold, quiet calm and I create volume by Innersense Organic Beauty. You may have never attempted a Wash & Go/Curl set before, and that's fine- just do your best. At your appointment, we will give you feedback and teach you how to achieve your best Wash & Go yet!
PLEASE DO NOT use bobby pins, head wraps, ponytails, headbands, rubber bands, hats, clips, etc on the day of your appointment. Your stylist needs to see your natural curl pattern and how your hair falls in order to perform the cut properly. Your hair should be completely down and dry upon arrival.
TRUST THE PROCESS
Sometimes your desired result may not be achievable with just one visit to the salon. After discussing your hair goals with your stylist, she can recommend a hair regimen and timeline that will give you the results and look that you desire. If you have been using products with butters, oils and silicones it will likely take more than one session to achieve your desired results.
Your stylist will advise you on styling options in between appointments, how to care for your hair at home, and also how you can evolve your style through the seasons.
