We want your experience at HárTékk to be as pleasant and relaxing as you deserve.

This may not be something you think about when making an appointment, but we have discovered that taking a little time to prepare for your curly dry cut can lead to better results!

Please see below our top tips to preparing for your next salon visit:

Leave your hair alone

Your stylist will cut your curly hair while it’s dry, and in its natural state. Arrive at the salon with your curls conditioned, detangled, dried, and un-styled (no twist-outs, braids, curling or flat irons or any other manipulation).

1- Ensure your hair is CLEAN and tangle free.

Arrive with washday or day 2 curls. This way they’ll still be plenty of spring in your curl for the stylist to understand your curl pattern and they won’t be all tangled. If the stylist is to perform a dry cut, tangled curls would make the process difficult.

2- Ensure your hair is thoroughly dry.

Arriving with your curls thoroughly dry will allow to see your curl pattern better, and enable to start cutting without having the diffuse first. If you use blow dryer, use with diffuser.

3- Don’t arrive with your lovely curls in a ponytail, bun, twist, or any style that stretches or changes your hair's natural curl pattern.

Your curls need to be in their natural state without any manipulation, again so your stylist can truly understand your curl pattern. The better your stylist understands your natural hair and how you want to wear it, the better results you will get.

4- Refrain from using a brush, pick, or comb once your hair is dry and in its natural state.

We all know brushing your curly hair once dry will break up the curls. We will need to see how your curls clump together, and because We perform curl by curl dry cut We will cut each curl clump individually.

5- Refrain from using any styling products that are excessively sticky, greasy, or oily.

These products can weigh your curls down and block out moisture. Use something lightweight so your hair is in a lovely and natural state ready for the cut!

6- Open your mind to love your hair in its natural glory.

The stylist will also be cutting your hair in a way that will maximize your curls, so it may be a little different to cuts you’ve had before. Be ready to GET CURLY and enjoy the experience.
