Cut

Signature Cut

The cut that works with your hair, not against it.

Duration 1–2 hours
Signature Cut at JEX Salon, Austin TX

A great cut is invisible in the best possible way. You shouldn’t have to think about it. It should just work — in the morning, after the gym, on the third day without washing. When the shape is right, the hair moves the way it’s supposed to.

Getting there requires more than sharp scissors and speed. It requires understanding the hair before cutting it: how it grows, where it naturally falls, what the texture does when it’s humid, and what the client’s actual morning routine looks like.

LaKeisha approaches every cut with that level of inquiry. The consultation isn’t a formality — it’s where she builds the brief. The cut itself is the execution.

The goal isn’t to give you the style of the season. It’s to give you a cut that looks deliberate at every stage of its growth — from freshly done to six weeks out.

Questions

About Signature Cut.

How often should I get a trim?

Every 8 to 12 weeks for most clients. LaKeisha makes a recommendation at your appointment based on your growth rate and the shape you're maintaining. Some styles need more frequent visits; others hold beautifully for longer.

Do you cut all hair types?

Yes. LaKeisha cuts across the full texture spectrum — from 2a waves to 4c coils. The technique changes based on the hair; the standard doesn't.

Should I come in with my hair styled or unstyled?

Come in your natural state — washed and air-dried if possible. This gives LaKeisha the most accurate view of your texture and how the cut will behave in everyday life.

What's the difference between a Signature Cut and a regular trim?

A trim maintains an existing shape. The Signature Cut is a full consultation-based service that considers your face structure, natural texture, and lifestyle before determining the shape. It's a starting point, not a maintenance appointment.

After your appointment

How to make it last.

  • Schedule a trim every 8–12 weeks to maintain the shape
  • Use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair to preserve the cut line
  • Communicate between visits if the shape grows out in an unexpected direction — LaKeisha adjusts
  • Avoid cutting at home between appointments; blunt self-trims disrupt the precision shaping
