Specialty Haircut

For guests who have a lot of hair, want a significant transformation, or need a curl-specific cutting approach — the time and technique your hair actually needs.

Cuts & Styling

Specialty Haircut, explained.

Some hair needs more time, intention, and education to create the right result. Our Specialty Haircut is designed for guests who have a lot of hair, want a significant transformation, or need a curl-specific cutting approach. The additional time allows your stylist to work intentionally with your hair's density, texture, movement, and overall goal — not simply complete a more complicated haircut.

For curly guests, this may include working curl by curl to understand how your natural texture lives and moves. For guests with high density or a larger transformation, the extra time allows for thoughtful shaping, weight removal, and refinement. Just as importantly, this appointment includes the education you need to understand your hair — your stylist will guide you through styling, care, and the products used so you leave with both a beautiful result and a clear plan for supporting your hair at home.

If you're a curly guest short on time, Express Specialty Cut is the quicker option — a dry, curl-specific cut without the extended styling and education time.

Specialty Haircut questions.

What counts as a Specialty Haircut?

Guests with a lot of hair, a significant transformation in mind, or a curl-specific cutting need. It's about how much time and intention your hair needs, not the style itself.

Is a pixie cut a Specialty Haircut?

Not automatically — a standard pixie cut or maintenance trim is booked as an Express Cut or Haircut. Specialty pricing applies when there's high density, a major transformation, or curl-specific work involved.

Does this include color?

No — Specialty Haircut pricing is for the cut itself. If you're also changing your color, that's booked and priced separately.

What's the difference between the two price tiers?

Express Specialty Cut is the quicker option for curly guests short on time — a dry, curl-specific cut without the extended styling and education. The full Specialty Haircut includes that extra time, plus guidance on how to style and care for your hair at home.
