Today @internez came to visit and instead of cutting loads of locks off, I dusted the ends and completely relayered and balanced the face frames.

Styled with @bouncecurl wide tooth brush and @jessicurl Spiralicious gel and diffused to 80% dry to eventually scrunch out the crunch
•
Thank you Nez ! You look glowing. Always lovely to see you ! @skippy_in_toronto where are youuuuuuuu ? 🩺⭐️🕶️

Just a friendly reminder to all clients on how to arrive to your curly cut appointment.
•
Please have clean hair and scalp. We dry cut before the shampoo, and out of courtesy for us, it’s so important.
If your curls are oily, and scalp isn’t treated, we are not getting a true representation of your natural texture. It’s a courtesy to us handling the hair.
•
Please don’t arrive with your curls tied up. We are unable to identify what curl pattern you have, and can’t offer the service that you deserve. We can’t guess where the curls will sit once washed and styled. It’s for your benefit.
•
Your curls can be washed the night before, or day of but they need to be dry, and yes, product is fine.
If it’s washed the night before, it’s ok if they’ve been slept on, just a light refresh is great.
•
We won’t be able to carry out the service if the hair is in a pony tail, bun, pinned up, half up, wet or unclean. If it’s tangled or there’s dreads we won’t be able to go ahead.
•
We want to deliver you the best outcome for your hair and only ask for the above to do so. If we carry out the work on hair that isn’t prepped, it is guess work for us.
We have tried to work with hair like this, but it’s compromising the end results and we have to speak up.
Thank you for understanding 🤍

Hello and sending love to our Project One Fam ! We hope you are all doing well coming into the cooler weather !
•
Just wanted to touch base and let new clients know that we are accepting, but only for weekday/daytime appts between Tues and Fridays. Weekends and Nights are closed for bookings as they are fully booked until Christmas. We are having a great year ! We thank you all for the position we are in, and thank you for understanding !

At the moment we are booked out for 8 weeks in advance for weekday daytimes, but there’s always movement and the odd cancellation so you can request to be added to standby for your preference in the meantime.

And finally, please be extra mindful as we move into cold and flu season to please reschedule if you are sick. If you are symptomatic in any way, please do the right thing and reschedule. Nikki and I will always prefer you cancel in this case and we will prioritise your future booking for when you are completely well. Even if it’s last minute. We are always flexible as you all know.
