01The appointment
  1. 01

    A long consultation, on purpose. How you dry it, how often you really style it, and what you disliked about the last cut.

  2. 02

    Cut dry first so the shape is judged as it will actually sit, then refined wet where the length needs precision.

  3. 03

    Weight is taken out from underneath rather than thinned through the surface, which is what causes the flick.

  4. 04

    Finished with product chosen for your texture, and shown how to get it back with two minutes and a towel.

Book this if

  • Hair growing past the ears, or being grown out on purpose
  • Curly, wavy and fine hair that goes shapeless when clipped
  • Anyone told their hair is "difficult" by someone who reached for clippers

Worth knowing

  • This takes fifty-five minutes and cannot be rushed into a thirty-minute slot.
  • Growing out well is mostly timing. We would rather book you every eight weeks and take less off each time.
