More information

What's Included

A focused service for a clean refresh and defined shape.

  • Brief consultation to confirm length, shape, and fringe.
  • Precision dry cutting on clean, dry hair.
  • Refinement of layers, perimeter, and fringe.
  • Light dry finish and dust-off to remove cuttings.
  • Personalised styling and maintenance advice.
  • Product recommendations if helpful.
  • Optional upgrade to add a wash or blow-dry.

Who It's For

Great for anyone wanting a quick tidy-up, sharper lines, or to maintain a cut between full appointments. Suits straight to wavy hair and many curls needing dry detail. For a drastic change or complex layering, a Wash, Cut & Blow Dry is usually better.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Appointments last 30 mins. Please arrive with clean, fully dry hair, free of heavy product and tight bands. If your hair is very thick or long, let us know when booking so we allow the right slot.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Work with your natural parting when styling at home.
  • Use heat protection before blow-drying or straightening.
  • Add a light leave-in conditioner or oil to mid-lengths as needed.
  • Brush gently from ends upward to avoid breakage.
  • Book trims every 6–8 weeks to keep edges clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ladies dry cut?
A precise haircut performed on clean, dry hair. We refine shape and length while seeing how your hair naturally falls, giving accurate results and minimal surprise.
Should I arrive with clean hair?
Yes. Please come with freshly washed, fully dry hair, free of heavy products. This helps us see true texture and ensures a crisp, even cut.
Is a blow-dry included?
No, this service focuses on dry cutting and a tidy finish. You can add a wash or blow-dry as an upgrade if you prefer.
Can you cut curly hair dry?
Yes, dry cutting can work well for many curls, especially for refining shape. For a major reshape, we may recommend a wash and blow-dry to assess curl pattern.
