To Wash Or Not To Wash Before Your Hair Appointment​
This is one of the most asked questions I have received in my decades of hairdressing.

I think it is a good subject to address and shed some light on how I would like you to come into the salon. 

 

Before a haircut

Especially if this is your first time with me. I want to see your hair in its most natural state so I can feel it and determine how to cut your hair. 
 

Clean(ish)  hair is preferred, hair that has been washed  2-3 days prior with minimal product. Oh and freshly brushed… I don't want to hurt you! Also if you are new to me be mindful of the ponytail band creases. This prohibits me from seeing anything close to what your hair does naturally. 
 

For short or curly styles, no need to brush these locks!  I prefer to work dry so the closer it comes to me in its own shape and texture the better the flow of cut for me.

Overly heavy or sticky products compromise the true weight of your hair and will make things tricky for me when sectioning. Again, it hurts me to hurt you so please be mindful of this.

 

Before a Colour 

Whoever told you that colour goes on better on dirty hair doesn't apply to me!

When having a colour service it is even more important that your hair comes in clean(ish),  free from product build-up and 100% dry otherwise this will compromise our time, the application, saturation and absorption of the colour. My colours are gentle and restorative; they aren't designed to push through a  week's worth of dry shampoo! If you do experience any stinging or pain you may have something else going on like a  scratch or inflammation and this should be noticed upon consultation. 

 

I hope you feel more confident coming in for your next hairdressing session because I want this to be a positive and relaxing experience for you because you deserve it!
