Your Curly Hair Appointment Guide

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Every curl has a story — and I’m here to help yours shine. Whether you’ve been wearing your curls proudly for years or you’re just starting to embrace them, my goal is to give you the tools, techniques, and confidence to love your natural hair every single day.

Before Your Appointment

To get the best results, it’s important your curls are in their most natural state when you arrive. Please follow these prep steps:

Wash your hair 1–2 days before your appointment.
Arrive with completely dry hair.
Avoid pulling your hair up, back, or in tight styles — this can stretch and distort your curl pattern.
Keep your hair free of heavy tangles or matting.
Use light styling products or no products so your hair can be easily finger-combed through.

These steps allow me to see your true curl pattern and how it naturally falls, so I can create a shape that works with your hair — not against it.

What to Expect During A Curly Appointment

Your appointment is designed to work with your curls, not against them. Here’s the flow:

1. Dry Cut

We start with your curls in their natural state, cutting curl-by-curl and in sections to create a shape that works with your texture, face shape, and shrinkage.

3. Product Application & Styling

We’ll choose products tailored to your hair’s needs, layering them for maximum curl definition, frizz control, and hold.

2. Clarifying Wash & Conditioning

A deep cleanse removes buildup, followed by a nourishing conditioner to bring back hydration and bounce.

4. Drying & Finishing

Using curl-friendly drying techniques and diffusing, we bring your style to life with volume, shine, and shape.

Sam is absolutely fantastic with curly hair! I went in with shoulder-length curls and asked for a pixie cut (a pretty big transformation). Sam honestly exceeded my expectations with the final outcome. I love my haircut so much! Thanks, Sam :)
