Pre-Khair Tips for Your Next Hair Appointment

Welcome to Take Khair! Whether it’s your first visit or a refresh, we want every appointment to be smooth, enjoyable, and tailored to you. Our stylists are passionate about textured hair - from curls and coils to waves and straight strands.

All appointments start with a consultation. This is your space to share your hair goals, what you love, what you want to change, and any concerns. Every detail helps us take khair of your hair properly and ensure your results match your vision.

Think of this guide as your TK Prep Checklist. From cuts to colour, braids to extensions, we’ll walk you through what to expect, how to prep, and how to make the most of your appointment.

Cuts & Trims
