a trim removes split ends and reshapes the outline without changing your overall length or style. a full cut adjusts layers, removes weight, or shortens the overall length based on what you describe during the consultation. after the cutting is finished, your stylist will blow-dry, straighten, or diffuse your hair to show you how the finished cut moves and sits. you leave with hair that matches your natural texture and the styling tools you already own.

haircuts do not include color services, but they can be scheduled on the same day if you need both. this service works for clients who know what they want and those who need guidance on what length or shape would work best for their hair. you leave with styling advice tailored to the tools you use at home and the time you have available.

you can arrive with clean or unwashed hair, but avoid using heavy styling products the morning of your appointment. your stylist in st. joseph will dampen your hair before cutting begins.
how long does a haircut appointment take?
most haircut appointments last between thirty and forty-five minutes depending on your hair length and whether you need a blow-dry or styling finish. if you need a consultation or are trying a new shape, allow extra time.
