What the service covers
Extended-Time Cut adds deliberate salon time when a simple trim won't do. It covers major length changes, detailed reshaping and work on very long or dense hair. The appointment includes a blow-dry style finish so you leave with the cut's intended shape and movement clearly shown and ready for assessment.
Clients choose this service when precision matters: removing weight, creating a new silhouette, or reworking layers so the hair falls correctly. Because more time is reserved, your stylist can refine balance and proportion across longer sections, review the finished silhouette during blow-dry, and make incremental adjustments rather than rushing to a final line.
How appointments are planned
We begin with a focused consultation that assesses length, density and the degree of change you want. That assessment determines how much extra time is needed and where it will be applied—sectioning for accuracy, weight removal, texturizing or careful perimeter shaping. For an exact timing or pricing estimate, please contact the salon so we can plan appropriately for your hair.
Because the salon serves Alexandria and nearby communities—from Annandale and Arlington to Fairfax and Washington, DC—scheduling may factor in commuter times and stylist availability. Our location near the Landmark Office Building at 205 S. Whiting Street, Suite 306 makes it convenient for clients who prefer an appointment that allows thoughtful, unrushed work.
Styling finish and upkeep
The included blow-dry style finish is more than a quick dry; it shows how the new shape behaves when styled and reveals any final adjustments needed. For very long or dense hair, drying and styling in sections helps the stylist confirm weight distribution and movement. You’ll leave with a finished style and practical notes for everyday maintenance.
After an Extended-Time Cut you may find at-home routines change because the silhouette or weight has shifted. Discuss daily styling time, product needs, and realistic upkeep during your consultation so the finished look fits your schedule and lifestyle. Bring reference photos and be prepared to talk about how often you want to maintain the new shape.
