Heat styling

Waves and curls

Shape added to a blowout, for nights that call for more than smooth.

Loose waves are curled and brushed out so they move; Hollywood waves are deeper, set in a side part and brushed into one line. Defined curls are for natural curls and waves, shaped and dried with a diffuser. Bring a photo and we'll plan it with you.

What to expect

  • 55 minutes for loose waves

  • 65 minutes for Hollywood waves

  • A photo helps for formal looks

How a set of waves comes together

Three steps, after your blowout.

  1. 01
    25–35 min

    Step 1: Blowout

    The dry sets the base, because waves sit better on smooth, dry hair.

  2. 02
    20–30 min

    Step 2: Shape

    Sections are curled with an iron, or diffused for natural curls, and left to cool.

  3. 03
    10 min

    Step 3: Brush and set

    The waves are brushed out and pinned or sprayed into the line you chose.

Questions about this service

How long will the waves last?

It depends on your hair and the evening. Fine, straight hair loosens sooner than thick or wavy hair, and your stylist tells you how to look after it.

Can you do curls on natural curls?

Yes. Defined curls are shaped and dried with a diffuser, and your stylist works with the pattern you have.

Should I bring a photo?

Please do, especially for Hollywood waves. We plan the time and the tools around it.
