This method is performed on dry hair to map each curl and precisely remove weight, enhancing pattern and preventing post-cut surprises. Ouidad-trained stylists specialize in curl structure, making styles more predictable and easier to maintain at home.

We welcome children as young as toddlers, depending on their comfort and curl development. Consultation ensures the cut suits growth patterns and daily routines; parents receive guidance on timing between trims for healthy shape retention.

Appointments typically last 45 to 60 minutes, allowing time for curl assessment, dry cut, light styling, and parent instruction. Longer sessions may be scheduled for very full hair or additional treatments like deep conditioning.

No - dry cutting is gentle when performed by trained Ouidad stylists. It avoids over-manipulation and accurately removes weight without stripping moisture. We use kid-safe tools and techniques to prioritize comfort and long-term curl health.

Arrive with dry, detangled hair if possible; avoid heavy products that mask curl pattern. Bring a familiar comfort item for younger children. Our stylists will review routines and recommend any pre-appointment steps tailored to your child's curl type.

Use gentle sulfate-free cleansers, regular conditioning, and light curl creams recommended by our stylists. Encourage gentle detangling with fingers or a wide-tooth comb and schedule trims every 8-12 weeks to preserve shape and prevent uneven weight distribution.
