FAQ
Cel Curl is a salon that works with your natural texture. All haircuts are performed on dry hair. When getting your haircut dry, you can truly see what is happening in front of you. You don’t wear your hair wet, so why would you get it cut wet? Getting a curl by curl haircut is a serious game changer. It’s time to not worry about a dreadful surprise at the end of your haircut.
How is a curly haircut different than a regular haircut?
A curly haircut is a curl by curl haircut on dry hair. While getting a curly cut, the stylist and client can watch the hair transform and visually see how each curl will fall and each individual curls shape. Finally, you can actually see what your hair will look like! A regular haircut on curly hair is done on wet hair by pulling the hair straight and cutting in a straight line. After getting a regular haircut on curly hair, the hair shrinks in different directions, more length gets taken off than anticipated, and can ruin the curl pattern by doing a heated blowout style.
How do I arrive to my appointment?
Please have your hair washed and styled curly how you normally would at home. Hair must be dry and in workable condition. Feel free to use any styling products that do not contain shea butter/shea moisture or heavy oils like coconut or olive oil. If you are using these products at home currently, please stop using 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
What do I do if I’m wanting to transition from wearing my hair straight to curly?
Come in for a complimentary consultation or give us a call so we can see what your curls look like and can shoot for a realistic expectation. Curls do take time to heal from heat styling but can be easily done with the right tools and products at home. We highly recommend opting with the styling lesson.
Can I bring a friend/family member with me to my appointment?
Yes, you may bring one person with you to your appointment. The studio has a limited amount of seating and has a very relaxing atmosphere.
Do you only do curly hair?
No, I do all hair types!
We look forward to meeting you and seeing your beautiful curls transform.
