Curly Cut - Dry Hair

From £50
From 45 mins

A Curly Cut on dry hair is a maintenance appointment for existing clients who want to keep their curl pattern looking consistent between full cut services. It focuses on tidying the ends and refining the shape while your hair sits naturally, so you leave with curls that look more even, lighter, and easier to style.

More information

What this dry curly cut includes

This is a focused, dry appointment designed to maintain an existing shape.

  • A quick check-in on how your curls have been sitting since your last visit
  • Dry trimming of the ends to remove wear and keep the outline clean
  • Light refining around key areas that affect balance and symmetry
  • Guidance on keeping definition and reducing breakage between appointments

Who this service is best for

This appointment suits you if you are an existing client and you want a reliable, no-fuss tidy-up.

  • Your curls feel “grown out” but you like your current shape
  • Your ends look thinner, uneven, or less defined
  • You want to maintain curl structure without losing length
  • You are wearing your hair naturally curly, wavy, coily, or textured

How it works

The cut is done on dry hair so your curl pattern stays visible throughout. The focus is on small, precise adjustments that keep your style looking intentional, not on a full reshape.

How to prepare

Arrive with your hair dry and styled as you normally wear it. Avoid coming straight from the gym or with soaking wet hair, as this service does not include a wash, cleanse, or condition.

After your appointment

You will have a cleaner outline and more even curl movement. If you want a bigger change, more internal shaping, or a refresh that includes cleansing and conditioning, book a full curly cut service for your next visit.
