Every head of hair is different. Texture, density, curl pattern, color history and the way you like to wear it all shape what a great cut looks like for you. An inclusive salon starts with a stylist who understands how different hair behaves, and who takes the time to listen before picking up the scissors.
What makes a salon inclusive?
- Experience with many hair types: straight, wavy, curly, fine, thick, coarse and gray hair all need a different approach.
- A real conversation first: how you style your hair, how much time you spend on it, and what has or hasn’t worked before.
- Honest advice about what your hair can do, rather than a one-size-fits-all trend.
- A cut you can manage at home, not just one that looks good when you leave the salon.
- A welcoming chair for everyone, whatever your age, gender or style.
Cutting with your hair’s natural texture
Behnaz trained at the Vidal Sassoon Academies, where precision cutting is built around the natural fall and movement of the hair. Instead of forcing hair into a shape, the cut is designed to work with your texture and growth patterns, so it falls into place with less styling. That approach suits every hair type, which is why the gallery includes sleek bobs, soft curls, silver pixies and men’s cuts side by side.
How Behnaz approaches different hair types
Straight hair
Straight hair shows every line, so precision matters. Clean, deliberate shapes such as bobs and one-length cuts let straight hair look polished with very little effort.
Wavy and curly hair
Curls shrink and spring up as they dry, and each curl pattern behaves differently. A cut planned around your curl pattern keeps the shape balanced, avoids the dreaded triangle, and lets curls sit where they should.
Fine hair
Fine hair often looks fuller with strong perimeter lines and carefully placed layers. Too many layers can make it look thin, so the balance is key.
Thick and coarse hair
Thick hair needs weight removed in the right places so it moves freely without puffing out. The goal is a shape that feels lighter but still holds its line.
Gray and silver hair
Whether you’re embracing natural silver or prefer to blend or cover gray, the right cut and color can make gray hair look intentional and modern.
Short cuts and men’s hair
Pixies, crops and men’s cuts rely on precise shaping around the ears and neckline. Behnaz’s Sassoon training in short, precision haircuts means small details are done right.
Getting the most from your appointment
