HAIR CUT

A precision haircut is the foundation every other service builds on. Kimberly Messing Hair Design's cutting specialists shape hair so the line holds and grows out cleanly between visits, on any length or texture.

Cuts are led by Jackie Shaughnessy, our Senior Stylist and Cutting Specialist with 38 years behind the chair, and Emma Browning, our Contemporary Cuts specialist, for clients chasing a modern, fashion-forward shape. Every appointment opens with a real conversation about your hair's natural growth pattern, your texture, and how much upkeep you actually want to do at home before a single section is cut. We work in dry and wet cutting technique depending on what the style calls for, and we check the shape while it's dry before you leave, since hair often falls differently once it's out of the cape and away from the mirror.

Haircut FAQs

How often should I get a haircut?

Most clients return every 6 to 8 weeks to keep a shape sharp. Textured and curly cuts, and longer styles that are meant to grow out, can often stretch to 10 to 12 weeks between visits.

How long does a haircut appointment take?

A cut and style typically runs 60 to 90 minutes, depending on length, thickness, and how much reshaping is involved. Shampoo and blow-dry only visits run shorter.

Should I bring reference photos?

Yes. Bring photos of the shape you want, including the angle and length you're picturing, and photos of cuts you don't want. The second set is often more useful than the first.

Do you cut children's hair?

Yes, kid's cuts are on the service menu alongside our adult cuts, styled in the same relaxed, unhurried way.

What is the difference between a barber's cut and a full haircut?

A barber's cut is a clean, low-maintenance shape built for easy upkeep, popular with clients who want minimal daily styling. A full haircut involves more shaping, layering, or texture work suited to longer or more detailed styles, and usually takes longer in the chair. Current options and details are on the service menu.

Can I switch stylists between visits?

Yes. Some clients see Jackie for precision classic cuts and Emma for modern, textured shapes, and switch depending on what they're after that visit. Mention your preference when you book, or ask at the front desk if you're not sure who fits your style.
