Hair planning guide · Foster City
Your curls.
Plan your next haircut.
Explain how you normally wear your curls and what you want to change about the shape. Before booking at Bliss & Blade in Foster City, confirm that the appointment and stylist can accommodate your texture and any technique you are requesting.
Discuss your appointment
Shape and length.
In your everyday style.
Use your usual finished hairstyle as the starting point. Describe where you want the hair to sit, the volume you enjoy and how much styling you want to do at home.
Agree on visible length
Show the length you want when your hair is worn in its usual finish. Discuss how the proposed cut would look that way, rather than relying only on a length measurement.
Discuss volume and balance
Point out where you want more or less fullness, including the sides, crown and pieces around your face. Ask which changes are appropriate for your hair and styling preferences.
Before your
appointment.
Use these details to plan your visit and discuss your preferences with the salon.
Describe your routine
Tell the salon how you wash, dry and style your hair, and how much time you want to spend. This helps explain the finish you hope to maintain.
Confirm technique requests
If you specifically want a dry cut, curl-by-curl approach or another method, ask whether it is available before reserving. Do not assume every haircut appointment uses that technique.
Ask how to arrive
Request preparation instructions for the confirmed appointment, including how to wear your hair and whether washing or styling is included.

A few things
to know.
Answers to help you plan your visit to Bliss & Blade.
Do I need a particular curl-cutting technique?
Start with the result you want, then discuss the approach with the salon. If a particular technique is important to you, confirm it explicitly before booking.
Should I arrive with my hair curly or straightened?
Ask for instructions for your selected appointment. Explain how you usually wear your hair and bring natural-texture photos if your hair will look different on the day.
Can I use a photo of someone with different curls?
Use it to explain the shape or detail you like, while discussing how your own hair differs. A photo is a reference for the conversation, not a guarantee of the same result.
How do I choose the right haircut appointment?
Contact (650) 435-2984 with your texture, length, preferred finish and any technique request. Confirm suitability and availability before selecting a booking.
