Ouidad’s Carving & Slicing® is a curl-specific cutting technique that removes the bulk that causes “pyramids” and enhances the natural curl pattern to achieve well-defined ringlets that fit gently into each other like puzzle pieces. The Ouidad service is done on wet hair and a suitable cutting method for any hair type.
Clients are asked to come in with their hair washed and styled using a leave-in conditioner as a styler or leaving in some conditioner. Hair must be 100% dry for this service.

Ouidad Experience
The service begins with a gentle cleanse. The cutting steps involves carving into areas where needed to encourage curls and slicing areas to remove weight. After the cut your curls will be styled with a customized method to enhance your curls. We will discuss your preferred finish. Some clients prefer a more defined and put together look and others more volume. Our product recommendations, application of stylers and drying methods will achieve these pre-determined goals.
We will finish the your Ouidad cut reviewing the service and tweaking/editing the curls where needed.
We do not believe there is one size fits all routine. All of our services will be customized exclusively for you.
