What to expect
A stylist's experience with a similar texture helps set realistic expectations.
A good place to start
Ask how to arrive with your hair and whether cutting is done wet, dry or using both approaches. Discuss the routine you can maintain at home.
What to compare
- Curl-specific experience
- Appointment preparation
- Realistic home routine
Agree on the details
Describe the result you want and any relevant previous treatments. Ask about preparation, upkeep and the full price, including removal or finishing where relevant. Use reference pictures to explain your preferences, not as a promise of identical results.
