How long does a typical haircut and styling take?

A standard haircut and basic styling typically takes 45–60 minutes. More complex requests, added services like color or keratin smoothing, and beard grooming can extend appointment time. Book combined services or consult when scheduling for the most accurate timing estimate.

What should I expect from a beard trim service?

Our Haircut + Beard Trim includes a consultation to determine length and shape, precision trimming, edging and conditioning. We use professional tools for even results and finish with styling products to maintain texture and a healthy-looking finish.

How does keratin smoothing treatment work on my hair?

Keratin smoothing infuses keratin into the hair cuticle, sealing frizz and adding elasticity using a professional-grade treatment and heat. Results reduce styling time, increase shine and improve manageability when performed by trained stylists with proper aftercare.

How long do keratin smoothing treatment results typically last?

Most clients enjoy frizz control and enhanced smoothness for three to six months, depending on hair type, maintenance, and exposure to chlorine or salt water. Use sulfate-free products and schedule touch-ups to extend and protect the treatment.

Can I book a luxe blowout for special events?

Yes — our Luxe Blowout is ideal for weddings, events and photoshoots. We deliver volume, long-lasting hold and salon-polished shine. Book in advance and discuss your desired finish — sleek, soft waves or textured volume — for a tailored result.

How often should I get a haircut or trim?

Frequency depends on your style and hair growth: short styles often need trims every 4–6 weeks, while medium to long hair benefits from maintenance every 8–12 weeks. Regular trims preserve shape, prevent split ends and keep styles looking fresh.

Raul is a genius, a whiz with color, shape, cut and overall gorgeousness! My kids have curly hair, and I don’t trust anyone else to maintain their coiffs!...more

Raul really goes the extra mile to not only give you an amazing haircut but make sure that you understand your hair and how to maintain the beautiful styling at home. As someone with curly hair, it’s been hard to find a cut that maintains my curls looking weightless and crisp and tail did an excellent job. With a background in high fashion styling hair in NYC fashion week etc, we are lucky to have someone of Raul’s caliber in the neighborhood- get in for a beautiful cut before there starts to be a months long wait!...more

I received a consultation with Raul today and I genuinely couldn't be happier with my experience. Even after just a few minutes of chatting with him, I already knew that this was someone who cares about his client's vision. I felt heard and understood when I showed him pictures of the haircut and how I was feeling, and he gave me his honest feedback, thoughts, and recommendations. So glad to have found Raul in SF after being unable to find a stylist here in Chicago who made me feel comfortable with him from the get-go and also has the mastery and experience to work with me in bringing to life the vibe I'm going for....more

From the start Raul was very attentive and valued his work - he made sure I was clear on our goal for color and via a consultation and recommendation he was able to bring to life the outcome. I truly appreciated the conversation but also his professionalism. If you’re looking for a high quality stylist and care please give him a visit

I came on 6 August started at 2pm and finished around 645pm...more
