FAQ

Layered cut questions, answered

What layered cut styles can I choose?

Options include the soft layered cut, long layered cut, medium layered cut, hush layered cut, face-framing layers and layers with see-through bangs. Pair it with curtain bangs or a fringe for extra framing.

Will layers make thin hair look thinner?

Not when they are planned for your density. Your stylist adjusts layer placement to add dimension and volume without removing too much weight.

Can I add a perm or color to my layered cut?

Yes. Layers work beautifully with soft waves — see our C-curl / S-curl perm — or with highlights and balayage that show off the movement.

Is a layered cut good for wavy or curly hair?

Yes. Layered cuts work with straight, wavy or lightly curled hair and help curls sit lighter and more defined.

How much does a layered cut cost?

It depends on hair length and design. Ask us on WhatsApp for the current price and time.
