2017 DPA Shop
DPAShop
Dry cuts by Lune Wynard proprietor and visionary of Salune of Hudson NY will hold dry cutting hours during DPAShop
Saturday, December 16th, between 9:00 and 5:00, slots are currently open for the taking. They fill up quickly.
For booking your dry-cut appointment, please send an email to lune@salunehudson.com, with your full name, phone number, and availability.
If your availability is very specific, let her know, and if it is within a range of hours, let her know that so she can place people accordingly.
Here is the price breakdown, for starting length:
Hair length anywhere from super short to chin-length (short haircut) $75
Hair length between chin and shoulders (medium length haircut) $90
Hair length below the shoulders (long haircut) $100
Please bring exact change, and there is no need to tip. Slots are 30-60 minutes, depending on your hair and what you want. So when contacting Lune about booking your appointment, please include answers to the following questions:
How long is your hair right now (short, medium, long)? Is it very thick/dense? Is it curly, wavy, or straight?
Do you know what you want (totally fine if not, but more conversation will probably be required to arrive at something together)?
If you can, any pictures are always helpful to look at together, so it is recommended that you do a little internet or magazine browsing to get inspired about things that attract you (or repel you) hair-wise.
Come with your hair as you most normally wear it. If that means it’s unwashed for three days, fine. If you wash it every morning, wash it before you come. If you don’t, don’t. If you bike everywhere, wear that helmet. She likes to work with the natural texture of your hair and needs to see your individual growth patterns, so no need to do anything special.
Check out the SaLune IG @salunehairstudioto see some of her work (you might see someone you know in there!)
