Why Studio Eighteen's Approach to Haircuts in Gilbert AZ Is Different

Studio Eighteen Hair Lounge in Gilbert cuts hair for women, men, and kids. Every haircut starts with a consultation, because the right cut depends on your hair type and your routine as much as the photo you bring. Here's what we offer, what to expect, and how to pick a cut you'll like.

Which haircut services can you book?

For women

• Woman's short haircut: a precision cut and style for shorter lengths.
• Woman's long haircut: a precision cut and style for longer lengths.
• Woman's dry haircut: a precision dry cut to refine your shape, with no wash.
• Transformation haircut: a big restyle or length change.
• Bang trim: a quick fringe clean-up between cuts.

For men

• Men's clipper haircut: clipper work for short styles, fades, and tapers.

What happens at your haircut appointment?

Every appointment starts with a consultation. We ask what you're going for, look at any photos you brought, and talk through what will work with your hair type, face shape, and how much time you spend styling at home.

For a wash-and-cut, we shampoo and condition first. Then your stylist cuts, styles, and shows you how to recreate it. If you booked a dry cut, we skip the wash and work on your hair as it naturally falls.

What's the difference between a wet cut and a dry cut?

A wet cut is shaped on damp hair, then styled. It's the classic approach and works for most cuts. A dry cut is shaped on hair as it naturally falls. It suits curly and wavy hair, and refining a shape you already like, because your stylist sees exactly where each piece sits.

How do you pick a haircut that suits your hair?

That's what the consultation is for. A few things we tell guests:

• Texture matters more than the photo. A cut that looks great on fine straight hair won't always work on thick curls. Your stylist will tell you what will.
• Be honest about your morning routine. A cut that needs 20 minutes of styling looks great only if you'll put in the 20 minutes.
• Bring two or three photos. Different angles show the full shape, not just a flattering front view.
• Say what you don't want. "No bangs" helps more than "I'm not sure."

How often should you get a haircut?

It depends on the cut. Short, sharp shapes usually need a trim every four to six weeks. Mid-length cuts can stretch to eight to ten weeks. Long layers often go twelve weeks or more. Your stylist will suggest a rhythm at your appointment, and pre-booking keeps you on it.

If you want color with your cut, our hair color guide explains the options. You'll find more on the haircuts page.
