Before Your Haircut
If you’ve had a bad haircut before — you’re not alone
Many of my clients come to me after feeling disappointed, over-layered, or not listened to at other salons. Some were told “trust the process” — and never felt safe again.
If that’s you, I want you to know:You’re not difficult, and you’re not asking for too much.A great haircut, however, does need clarity and trust — on both sides.
How we get the best result together
Before I start cutting, we’ll talk through your haircut direction clearly and agree on the plan.Once we begin, I guide the cutting process. This allows me to protect the shape, balance, and condition of your hair.Changing direction halfway through or watching every snip can limit what’s possible — even when the inspiration is beautiful.
About changes during the haircut
If the haircut direction changes significantly once we’ve started, I may need to rebuild the structure. This can affect the final result or require a redesign appointment.

This haircut is right for you if…
-
You want a shape that wears well over time
-
You’re open to professional guidance once we agree on a plan
-
You value thoughtful, personalised cutting over rushed results
It may not be the right fit if…
-
You need full control over each step while I’m cutting
-
You feel very anxious seeing any layering at all
-
You’re unsure of the outcome and not ready to trust the process yet
If that’s the case, a consultation‑first appointment may suit you better.
What happens in a 90‑minute guided haircut
(for bob‑ to chest‑length hair)
-
First 15 mins

Clear consultation, hair assessment, discussing options and agreeing on a plan
-
Next 5–10 mins
Shampoo and basin treatment to prepare the hair
-
Next 35 mins
Wet cutting to build the main shape and structure
-
Final 30 mins
Blow‑dry, dry cutting, refining details and balance
This isn’t rushed — it’s designed for clarity and longevity.
What can take extra time (and why)
Extra time may be needed if:
-
You’re feeling unsure and want to explore several options
-
The haircut direction changes once we’ve started
-
You’d like step-by-step reassurance or detailed adjustments
If time runs out:
-
We’ll keep today’s result safe and complete
-
Or plan a follow-up appointment to finish refining
Additional time or follow-ups are charged at $100 per hour, so everything stays clear and fair for both of us.

What this experience offers:
This is a slower, more guided session where we take time to explore, adjust, and refine.
Nothing is rushed — the focus is on clarity, confidence, and long-term wearability.

In rare cases, additional time may be required due to hair density, condition, complexity, or decision-making needs that become clear during the appointment.
