At The Co-Artist Studio in Capitola, we believe a great haircut begins with understanding your hair’s natural texture, lifestyle, and goals. Every haircut service is thoughtfully designed to deliver shape, balance, and movement leaving your hair feeling refreshed, healthy, and easy to style every day.

Each appointment includes:

• A customized wash using professional, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner tailored to your hair type

• A precision wet cut, where your stylist shapes and refines the foundation of your style

• A professional blow-dry and style, to reveal how your cut moves and falls

• Detail work and finishing touches, ensuring every angle looks effortless and polished

The Process:

1. The Wash & Consultation

Your experience begins at the shampoo bowl with a customized cleanse and conditioning treatment. This allows your stylist to start with clean, balanced hair the perfect canvas for precision cutting. During this time, you’ll discuss your hair goals, daily routine, and inspiration photos so your stylist can tailor your look to fit your lifestyle.

2. The Wet Cut Sculpting the Shape

Once your hair is freshly cleansed, your stylist performs the foundation cut while your hair is wet. Cutting wet hair allows for precision and symmetry especially for blunt, one-length, or layered shapes. This step establishes your haircut’s structure, removes excess weight, and ensures a balanced silhouette.

3. The Blow-Dry Bringing It to Life

After your base cut, your stylist performs a professional blow-dry using a round brush or styling tools suited to your texture. This step reveals how your haircut moves once it’s dry and styled — allowing your stylist to refine and personalize the finish to your preferred look (smooth and sleek, bouncy and voluminous, or natural and tousled).

4. Detailing & Refinement

The final step is where artistry meets precision. Once your hair is dry, your stylist re-evaluates the overall balance and flow of your haircut. Minor adjustments and refinement are made detailing the ends, face frame, or internal layers for a flawless, natural finish that grows out beautifully.
