What is the DevaCut process like?
Your stylist will use a dry-cutting technique, so please arrive at the salon with your curls or waves encouraged as if you were going somewhere nice. No elastics,ponytails, knots. Please come wearing your hair on the part that you wear. Your hair will be washed after the haircut, fully dried and then checked. *It is imperative that we fully dry your hair to check the haircut *
Your haircut appointment can take up to two hours, especially if your hair has been severely damaged due to any of the following: heat, chemical damage due to being over processed, use of silicon based products and shampoos with sulfates.
If your hair is extra long or extra tangled it can add extra time to your appointment. Please allow the appropriate amount of time for the haircut, as we do not want our time with you shortened. We strongly recommend, not making plans too soon after your appointment.

Are you afraid of getting haircuts?
Has it been as least 6 months to 1 year since your last haircut?
Does your hair have a triangular shape?
If you’ve answered yes to any of the questions above, we would recommend booking a DevaCut with us.
How much is a DevaCut and why is it more expensive than a regular haircut?
The DevaCut is specialized, dry haircut that is done on textured hair either wave by wave or curl by curl, actually in groupings of three strands. It takes longer to cut hair using this technique, and what our guests love how the hair is shaped in a perfectly blended way. The DevaCut ranges from $65+ to $100+.
The DevaCut lasts almost three times as long as a regular wet haircut, (with proper home care), because it holds its shape better and grows out more gracefully. Another reason we use this technique is because the stylist is able to see the shape and texture pattern better than wet, resulting in a more predictable and favorable result. At Fringe Salon, we take pride on staying educated and our training is ongoing. We are always staying on top of all the latest techniques, styles and products.
The DevaCut can go up in price if:
.It's been longer than a year since your last professional haircut because reshaping and cutting hair that hasn't been maintained professionally, takes longer.
.There is extreme matting and tangling that adds on extra time than the allotted 1.5 hours plus.
.If the hair is extremely thick and/or long we may need to use additional products.
I have wavy/curly/coily hair but want a wet haircut. Is this possible?
If you have heard about our expertise with textured hair it is because of our extensive training and focus on cutting textured hair using the DevaCut technique. We will not cut curly hair wet, which is similar to cutting it blindfolded. If you are letting your hair air-dry naturally, are diffusing it, or looking to encourage your natural texture the majority of the time, then the DevaCut is the method we will use, to ensure the best results!
Am I still able to blow out my hair straight?
Yes, and the DevaCut blows out beautifully! The DevaCut is a haircut that can be done on any texture, not just curly or super curly. While we recommend that you give your hair a rest from the heat and tension for 6 months after your DevaCut, we understand that the commitment to not blowing your hair out straight may be unrealistic. Please note that the DevaCut works better when not flat-ironed but blown out loose and smooth!
