It's the traditional core technique used across the industry and is especially well suited to those wanting a structured, well defined result rather than a quick trim. ## What Happens During a Wet Cut At Timba, the process follows a few clear steps: - A short **consultation** to talk through your current hair, face shape, and desired result - **Washing and conditioning**, leaving hair damp but not dripping for cutting - **Sectioning** the hair and cutting in controlled segments to build the shape - Checking balance, refining the edges, and removing weight where needed - A **light dry and final check** once the cut is complete Because damp hair hangs under its own weight, free from product and static, it shows its true length and fall, making it easier for our stylists to cut evenly and accurately. ## Who It Suits Wet cutting works particularly well for: - **Bobs, blunt cuts, and tapered shapes** where sharp, symmetrical lines matter - **Thick or coarse hair**, where wetting helps stretch the hair for an even outline - Many **wavy hair types**, for the same reason - Clients preparing for a **chemical service**, such as a perm, where uniform length helps with even processing If you wear very tight curls day to day, a stylist may suggest a dry or hybrid approach instead, to better preserve your natural curl pattern. Our team, including Katie Williams, Emma Stokes, Chloe Phillips, and Hannah James, can advise on the best approach for your hair type during consultation. ## Wet Cut vs Cut and Blow-Dry This service focuses mainly on the cut itself, with only a light dry to check the finish, rather than full styling. - Choose a **wet cut** if you mainly want the shape refreshed or restyled - Choose a **cut and blow-dry** if you also want a full styled finish to leave with - Fine detailing and texturizing are sometimes refined on dry hair afterwards, once the stylist can see how the cut falls naturally ## Aftercare and Maintenance To keep your cut looking sharp between visits: - Use shampoo and conditioner suited to your hair type - Apply **heat protectant** before blow-drying or straightening - Brush or comb gently, especially when hair is wet, to avoid breakage - Follow your stylist's advice on products and styling routine - Book a **trim roughly every 6 to 8 weeks** to maintain the shape and prevent split ends [Book Online](https://book.thesalon.app/salons/5d037f92-0091-4453-941b-88ca6bf28bb5/book?service=8109942b32ba34975a2cc1cf) ## Frequently Asked Questions What is a wet cut? A wet cut is a haircut carried out on freshly washed, damp hair, which allows the stylist to create precise, clean lines and an accurate, balanced shape. How long does a wet cut take? A ladies' wet cut at Timba typically takes around 30 minutes. How much does a wet cut cost? Prices range from £41 to £55, depending on hair length and complexity of the cut. Does a wet cut include a blow-dry or styling? A wet cut focuses mainly on the cut itself, followed by a light dry and check of the finish. A full blow-dry or styling is usually offered as a separate service. Is a wet cut suitable for curly hair? Wet cutting works well for many wavy hair types, but clients with very tight curls who wear their hair curly most of the time may benefit from a dry or hybrid approach instead, which your stylist can discuss at consultation. Which styles suit a wet cut best? Wet cutting is especially effective for bobs, blunt cuts, tapered shapes, and other structured styles where clean, symmetrical lines are important. How should I care for my hair after a wet cut? Use products suited to your hair type, apply heat protectant before styling with heat, brush gently when wet, and book a trim every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain the shape. Why is hair cut wet rather than dry? Water changes the hydrogen bonds in hair, making it more pliable and allowing it to hang to its true length, so the stylist can cut more precisely and evenly.
