Expect about 2.5 to 4 hours depending on hair length, texture, and processing time. The service includes a relaxer, deep conditioning, precision big-chop, and curl styling to ensure a finished, wearable pixie tailored to your hair’s needs.

Use a sulfate-free cleanser, regular moisturizing treatments, and light styling products to define curls. Schedule trims every 6–8 weeks, avoid excessive heat, and follow our personalized at-home routine to preserve shape, health, and the sleek pixie silhouette.

We recommend a brief consultation to assess hair history, desired length, and suitability for a big chop. This helps select relaxer strength, determine conditioning needs, and ensure the stylist tailors the cut and styling plan for your hair type.

We suggest a gentle sulfate-free shampoo, a nourishing leave-in conditioner, and lightweight curl-defining cream or serum. Use a weekly deep-conditioning mask and a heat protectant when styling. Specific product recommendations will be provided based on your hair’s porosity and needs.
