Questions
Questions about Pearl Street
Do you cut hair wet or dry?
Dry, for most shapes. We stretch your hair first so you see the length and the outline as they will sit. A few cuts start wet, and your stylist tells you which.
Do I book a men's cut or a women's cut?
Neither. We book by what your hair needs: a taper, a trim, a full shape or a big chop. Everyone books from the same menu, with the same time.
How long will I be in the chair?
A consultation takes 30 minutes, a dry cut and shape about an hour to ninety minutes, and a full shape about two hours. Each service on the menu lists its time.
I'm growing out relaxed or straightened hair. Can you help?
Yes. A transition cut takes off straightened lengths in steps, so you keep as much length as you can while your natural texture grows in.
Can I bring photos?
Please do, including photos of shapes you don't want. They help you and your stylist agree on words for an outline.
Can I see a price before I book?
Prices follow your hair and the time it takes, so we quote after your consultation. You agree to the price before anything starts.
Do I need to come with clean hair?
No. Come as you are, and we wash first if the shape needs it.
Do you work on children's hair?
Our menu is for adults and teens. If you'd like a shape for a younger client, call us and we'll talk it through.
Where do I park?
There is street parking on Pearl Street and a public lot a short walk away.
Is the studio accessible?
Yes. The entrance and the styling chairs are on one level. Tell us when you book if you need anything else, and we will plan for it.
