FAQs

Our various hair spa treatments are a great way to treat yourself and strengthen your curls. Perms and relaxers, keratin treatments, brazilian blowouts, extreme blonding, heat, and constant stretching can all cause permanent changes to hair structure and curl pattern. We have seen improvements in hair that was once limp, straight, or dehydrated being able to hold a tighter curl. If your curl pattern has been compromised or damaged, booking an add-on treatment at the time you schedule your appointment is a perfect way to build back some strength and shine. During your appointment, your stylist will analyze your hair and if need be can make changes with you to select the best treatment. Keep in mind, a one time treatment won't ever permanently alleviate curly health problems or replace cutting and most of the maintenance for curly hair happens at home. Following the regimen that your stylist recommends is crucial to healthy hair growth and retention.

Consultations are an essential step at the beginning of each scheduled service. The majority of services do not require a separately booked consultation as they are already included. If you have special concerns prior to booking about cost of your color service or the health of your hair, please book a separate complimentary consultation and hair health evaluation. Our receptionists can help you determine if a separate consultation is needed. Please note that as consultations are complementary, they may be moved to make room for other services at the stylist’s discretion.

DevaCurl® signature Pintura highlighting involves sweeping on color or lightener (or both) to your individual curls to give you personalized dimension in your hair based on your unique texture.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Starting prices are a *base* price for color services. The quote for your color service will be determined at your consultation. Depending on what color service you are getting done and the density and texture of your hair, the price is subject to change. Please schedule a consultation if you have questions about pricing prior to your color appointment. Thank you so much for understanding.

Curls are naturally bouncy and stretchy. When you wet, comb through and straighten curls, as with wet hair cutting, it is impossible to know how much a curl will spring up as it dries. We cut without combs or using tension to let each curl express itself naturally. By leaving the curl dry we can see the natural silhouette and length of the haircut as we shape it, and so can you.

Please arrive with your hair freshly washed, detangled, dry with clarified hair in a simple wash and go style. Please note: Braids, buns, twist or braid outs, headbands, ponytails, updo styles, or any “stretched” style that will alter your curl pattern will prevent your stylist from giving you an accurate cut for your curl and may be cause for rescheduling your appointment. Detangling fees may be applied for excessive detangling. YouTube is a great resource for beginner “wash-and-go” tutorials. If you still have concerns on how to wear your hair curly and/or need help with detangling or undoing braids, please contact us prior to your appointment so we can help you prepare.

We recommend that you begin detoxing your hair at least 2 weeks before your appointment day with us if you are using any of the following product lines in your hair or any products with super heavy oils, butters, or silicones in them: Shea Moisture, Aussie, Cantu, Wen, Ecostyler, any pure or concentrated oils or butters. Detoxing will help you achieve the best results for your dry cut with us. The DevaCurl® Build Up Buster is great for detoxing your hair.

All of our stylists offer curly cuts and curl by curl painting services for all hair textures. Some of our stylists do offer additional blowout, twist out, updo or loc services. If you are unable to book a particular service under a stylist it means that particular stylist does not offer that service.

As we are a natural hair/curl focused salon, we do not perform any chemical texture processes (relaxers, perms, keratin treatments, etc) that compromise the health of our client’s hair. Thank you for understanding.

As curly hair specialists, we advise our clients to fully commit to healthy hair and the curly world. The blow frying world isn’t worth the heat damage it creates for your beautiful curls. Heat styling compromises the health of your hair by over manipulating & dehydrating your curls. If you wear your hair curly most of the time, a dry curly cut will help give your curls a beautiful shape and amplify your natural texture. Some clients may find differences in length due to varying shrinkage and curl patterns on their head. Most of our clients that occasionally stretch their curls feel their Devacuts translate for straightened styles, however keep in mind that the Devacut is a cut to amplify curls.

Yes, the prices are the same no matter the hair length with the exception of a full clipper cut.
