  • How long does my first appointment take?
    Your first appointment will be between 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on your hair length and thickness.
  • How do I prepare my hair preparation for my first appointment?
    *A member of our salon has a SEVERE ALLERGY to "SHEA MOISTURE" hair products. If you use this brand we request, in fact we beg (yes it’s that bad) that you wash your hair and stop using these products 2 WEEKS prior to your appointment and then don’t use them again. THIS IS A CONDITION OF ATTENDING THE SALON, we really appreciate your understanding. This does not apply to products that have Shea butter in them, only the specific brand SHEA MOISTURE. *One of the things that makes a curly cut special is we cut your hair dry, no pre-wash. Please come to the Salon with Day 1 hair (Dry hair, washed within the last 24 hours). Please use shampoo with a cleanser, not just co-wash as you commence your journey to healthier curls. Products in the hair are fine. Our site offers Curly Girl option Innersense Hydrating Cream Hairbaths to purchase if you’ve not commenced Curly Girl products yet, but absolutely no product pressure from us * Please ensure your hair is tangle free and “down/not up” when you arrive. TANGLES MUST be removed before your appointment please. * Please remember curls hate being brushed/combed so it’s best to de-tangle and then sleep in a “pineapple to help keep tangles at bay.” Find out what a pineapple is here - https://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/kinky-hair-type-4a/how-to-pineapple-your-hair. * Please arrive with your hair down, without hair ties, clips, pins, hats, barrettes etc. * No RAW COCONUT OIL/s in hair. * If you have an early morning booking, you may need to wash your hair the night before to ensure its fully dry for cutting. PLEASE NOTE: We ask that you undertake the above for all your appointments with Purely Curls, we thank you for your assistance and look forward to meeting you, and your curls!
