No — a trim is intended as a subtle cleanup to maintain shape. Unless you request substantial restyling, your stylist will only remove small amounts and tidy edges. Communicate any changes clearly to ensure expectations are met.

Absolutely. Stylists trained in textured hair use cutting methods suited for curl pattern and shrinkage, trimming dry or wet as appropriate. Trims help shape curls, remove damaged ends, and maintain bounce—discuss preferred technique at booking for best results.

Trim appointments usually last 15–30 minutes depending on hair length, texture, and whether styling is included. Short trims can be very quick; if you want a blowout or styling add about 20–30 minutes—ask when booking to reserve proper time.

Yes. Regular trims remove split ends that can compromise color and hair integrity, helping color appear fresher longer. Pairing trims with color touch-ups can prolong results—consult your colorist to coordinate timing that minimizes damage and maintains vibrancy.

Unless your stylist requests otherwise, arrive with clean, dry or slightly damp hair as you normally wear it. For curly or textured trims, dry hair may allow more precise shaping. If unsure, call the salon and we'll advise based on your service.
