Taking new clients: Sylvie and Wren

212 KETTLE STREET, ALDER BEND

Mica/The chairs

Sylvie Renaud

Cutting and curl

I cut curls dry, one at a time, because wet curl lies about where it lands. If you have been told your hair is difficult, it is probably just been cut wet.

Taking new clients
Yes
Books out
2 to 3 weeks

The levels she works in

  • 1Black
  • 2Darkest brown
  • 3Dark brown
  • 4Medium brown
  • 5Light brown
  • 6Dark blonde

Outside this range you want a different chair, and we would rather say so than take the booking.

01/Her calendar

When she is actually free.

No phone call, no direct message, no waiting until she is between clients. Colour days run in long blocks because processing cannot be interleaved with cuts.

Her week

  • Tue

    9:00 to 18:00

  • Wed

    9:00 to 18:00

    colour day

  • Thu

    Not in

  • Fri

    9:00 to 18:00

  • Sat

    9:00 to 18:00

She books 2 to 3 weeks, and is taking new clients. Her actual open times load on this page; if they have not, phone 250 555 0148 and someone will read them to you.

02/The proof

Straight off her chair.

Every one of these came off Sylvie’s chair. Shot at the window, unstyled the next morning where we could, because that is what it looks like when you live in it.

  • A dry cut curly head seen from behind, each curl holding its own defined spiral, the overall shape rounded and even

    Dry curly cut

  • A blunt precision bob seen square on from behind, one clean unbroken line sitting level at the jaw

    Precision cut

  • Dark brown hair after a clear gloss, a bright unbroken band of daylight running across the crown

    Gloss

03/The boundary

What she does.

  • Dry curly cuts
  • Precision cuts
  • Grey blending
  • Gloss and toner

What she does not.

  • Bleach and balayage
  • Colour correction

Every one of these is a boundary she chose. Practising on your head is how people end up needing a correction, and a correction costs more than the service that caused it.

Colour appointments over two hours hold a chair for most of a day, so we ask for a $50 e-transfer to book one. It comes off your total. Move it or cancel with 48 hours notice and it moves with you.
