About Behind the Chair: The Process & The Experience
You won't find generic heat-styling or heavy silicone-laden processes here. We start every session with a dry cut to understand your unique coil pattern, followed by a personalized wash and our signature squish-to-condish hydration technique. This ensures that when we apply color or style, we are working with your hair's natural texture, not fighting against it.
Why We Do Things Differently
Most salons treat hair like a uniform fabric, but we know your curls are unique. Our process is designed to honor that individuality.
The Dry Cut Advantage We cut your hair dry, curl by curl. This lets us see exactly how your hair sits and springs back, so you don't get any unexpected shape changes after your first wash at home. It is the most honest way to shape curls. 💦
Coloring Without Compromise Worried about bleach damage? Our coloring process focuses on high-lift permanent color (Wella or Schwarzkopf) and hand-painted 'Pintura' techniques. We prioritize bonding treatments like Olaplex to keep your hair strong while adding depth and dimension. Whether you are after a subtle balayage or a vibrant fashion color, we ensure the process doesn't loosen your curl pattern.
The 'Squish-to-Condish' Finish Every session ends with a hydration treatment and a full diffuse dry. We don't just 'do' your hair; we teach you the routine. You leave the chair with defined curls and the knowledge of how to replicate the look at home.
Common Questions About Our Process
- How long does a session take? Depending on the complexity—like a balayage or double-process color—you should budget anywhere from 3 to 4 hours.
- Can I bring my own products? We prefer using our curated, curl-friendly range, but we are happy to discuss your current routine during the consultation.
- What if I have damaged curls? That is exactly what we are here for. We specialize in transition plans, moving you from damaged, processed hair to healthy, bouncy curls.
