Longevity varies by texture: fine or straight hair may hold curls four to eight hours without heavy product, while thicker or textured hair can last longer. Professional prep, quality styling products, and a finishing spray can extend wear to two to three days.

Not necessarily. Repeated heat styling can cause dryness and breakage without proper protection. Our stylists use heat-protectant products, controlled temperatures, and healthier techniques to minimize damage. We recommend deep conditioning, limiting daily heat, and scheduling regular trims to maintain hair integrity.

Arrive with clean, dry hair unless your stylist advises otherwise. Use a lightweight conditioner and avoid heavy oils or buildup that prevent styling hold. Bring reference photos and mention recent chemical services so we can tailor heat, tools, and technique for best results.

Absolutely. Our stylists adapt curling techniques, barrel sizes, and placement to suit short bobs or long layers, creating proportionate volume and shape. Short hair often uses tighter, textured curls; long hair benefits from looser waves that enhance movement and body.

Use a silk or satin pillowcase and loose bun or silk scarf to preserve shape overnight. Refresh with a light curl-refresh spray, avoid brushing, and use dry shampoo at the roots between washes. For touch-ups, use low heat and a wide-barrel iron sparingly.

Yes, in most cases. We assess recent color, relaxers, or perms during consultation and adjust heat and technique to protect processed hair. Bond-strengthening treatments and conditioning can improve results; if hair is fragile, alternatives or lower-heat styling may be recommended to avoid damage.
