Is a razor cut right for thick or curly hair?

Yes. We remove bulk without collapsing shape, then dry-detail to enhance curl or wave and soften edges.

Will a razor cut make my ends look frizzy?

Not when done professionally. We calibrate tension and angle, then finish with light hydration to keep edges smooth.

How often should I refresh a razor cut?

Every 8–12 weeks for most textures so the perimeter stays refined and movement remains effortless.

Can I combine a razor cut with color or treatments?

Absolutely. Many clients pair razor cuts with INOA color, Olaplex add-ons, or a René Furterer scalp ritual.

Blog: Razor Cuts in San Francisco — Airy Texture, Effortless Movement

Razor cutting isn’t just a “trend”—it’s a precise craft that creates whisper-light movement, diffuses bulk without removing shape, and grows out beautifully. At Echos Hair Design (Union Square, SF), our stylists use professional feather razors and advanced sectioning to tailor flow, weight removal, and perimeter softness to your texture.

Why a professional razor cut?

Airy movement: micro-texturizing opens space between strands so shape looks effortless, not choppy.
Weight removal without collapse: ideal for thick or heavy hair; we release bulk while protecting the outline.
Curls & waves love it: softens pyramid effects and enhances natural pattern with less frizz.
Shags, bobs, lobs, pixies, long layers: razor work creates the “lived-in” finish clients ask for.
Grows out clean: strategic tapering means fewer harsh ledges between visits.

Our Union Square method

Consultation & hair map: face shape, lifestyle, natural fall, and density check.
Wet cut foundation → dry detailing: we refine with the razor on dry hair to see true movement.
Finish & teach: product micro-dosing, quick-dry angles, and finger-styling tips matched to you.

Who it’s perfect for

Thick, bulky, or stick-straight hair seeking movement
Wavy/curly textures that want softer edges and less “triangle”
Clients who style minimally and want a cut that cooperates

Care between visits

Towel-blot, detangle gently, low heat.
A drop of lightweight oil or cream through mid-lengths; avoid roots.
Trim/refresh every 8–12 weeks to keep edges refined.
