Indulgent Curl

2.5 Hours

Indulgent curl - The Ultimate pamper 

This curl service is mainly aimed at long and thick, thick re-style. Thick tight kinks and coils that requires more attention to detail.

This service includes an in-depth consultation on your curl journey so far and what you would like to achieve. Followed by our luxury scalp & hair treatment using the much-loved scalp brushes. The benefits of having treatment will help to remove any product buildup and residue on the scalp which can prevent new hairs from coming through along with the best moisture/protein treatment for the ends along with our exclusive herbal hair infusion instant treatments.  

Our tailored hair treatment experience begins with a consultation with your in-salon expert, using our exclusive tailoring consultation diagnostic tool. The results allow them to identify your primary and secondary hair concerns, to give you personalised advice and create a dedicated recipe from the NaturalTech Tailoring range of products, which will be mixed on the spot especially for you. 

A mixture of wet and dry cutting techniques will be used throughout your curly haircut followed by our signature diffuse dry. Product knowledge and curl coaching will be given throughout, as well as answering all your curly queries.

We recommend this service for ALL First Time and returning curlies with medium density hair.

As most luxury curl clients come infrequently we always suggest getting the most from the salon appointment. As unique as you are - and so are the challenges you face in keeping it healthy and vibrant. That’s why we’ve added Naturaltech Tailoring - an exclusive in-salon treatment range that is customisable to your hair.

This service is most popular for First Time Curl Clients, Medium density hair, Re-style clients and returning curlies. Many of our clients begin their curl journey with a Luxury Curl appointment and then transition to Signature Curl appointments for ongoing maintenance. Your stylist will always advise you on the most suitable service for your next visit based on your hair density, curl goals and the amount of work required.

If your curls can be maintained within a shorter appointment, we'll let you know when you're ready to move to Signature Curl.

  • Curly Client Information

    Additional time may be needed depending on the length & volume of your hair. Please get in touch if you are unsure of what service to book or know your hair usually takes a long time to dry. 

    Clients who book services that require extra time will be charged accordingly. However, being a busy salon we can’t always accommodate the time if not booked in correctly. If this is the case on the day we may not be able to carry out the service and you will still be charged for the full appointment. 

    If you are unsure what curl service to book please get in touch before the booking or at your earliest convenience and we will be happy to help.

  • Day of appointment

    All curly clients must come with their hair down, detangled, and dry. We would advise that you come in on your favourite wash day, so timing your haircut for that day would work best. Ie: you love your hair on day two and therefore time your haircut for that day. 

    We would best advise you not to arrive with your hair in a ponytail, bun, or any style that stretches or changes your natural curl pattern as we won’t be able to perform dry-cutting methods to start if needed. By coming into the salon with your hair down and detangled we can see how you like to wear your hair, and how your curls behave, and look at their best whilst spending less time at the backwash detangling and more time cutting and styling. 

    Please feel free to get in touch if you are unsure what service to book.
