A good haircut does not start with the scissors, but with looking and listening. How does your hair fall naturally? How much time do you spend on it every morning? Do you usually wear it down or up? Those answers determine the shape that suits you.
The result is a cut that looks great not only when you leave the salon, but also after washing it at home. Whether you want a subtle refresh or are ready for a complete change.
In Brazil, the escova is an art in itself. With a round brush and plenty of skill, the hair is blow-dried until it shines, moves and has volume in all the right places.
The result is smooth, glossy hair with a luxurious look – as if you have just stepped off a photo shoot, but natural.
We finish every haircut with this blow-dry. Want to learn how to do it yourself at home? Just ask for tips; we are happy to show you how to use the brush.
Have curls and want to show them off? Then we cut dry, curl by curl. Read more about our curly hair specialist.

For most cuts, a trim every 6 to 10 weeks is ideal to keep the shape and healthy ends. If you are growing your hair, every 3 months is usually enough.
Complete your haircut with a balayage or new colour, or give your hair extra shine with the Brazilian hair ritual.
How often should I get my hair cut?
For a cut with a clear shape, every 6 to 10 weeks is ideal. If you are growing your hair, every 3 months is usually enough to prevent split ends.
What is a Brazilian blow-dry?
The Brazilian blow-dry, or escova, is a blow-drying technique with a round brush that makes hair smooth, glossy and full. It is a standard finish in Brazilian salons and, with us, part of every haircut.
Can I come in just for a blow-dry?
Yes, for example for a party, photo shoot or important occasion. Let us know when you book that you only want a blow-dry, and we will plan the right amount of time.
Do you cut long hair without losing much length?
Absolutely. Many clients want to keep their length and only have healthy ends and a few layers for movement. We agree beforehand exactly how much comes off.
How much does a haircut and styling cost?
The price depends on your hair length and what you would like, for example just a cut or care as well. Send us a message via WhatsApp and you will receive a personal price estimate.
