Get answers to common questions about Tapping.

Tapping is a light trimming and edge-up service focused on crisp lines and removing small split ends. Unlike a full cut, it preserves overall length while refreshing hairline, edges and shape for a cleaner, neater appearance.

Appointments typically take 15–30 minutes depending on hair density and requested detail. We assess the hairline and edges quickly, then refine with clippers or scissors—shorter for simple edge-ups, slightly longer for detailed shaping.

Yes. Our stylists adapt tapping techniques to suit straight, wavy, curly or coily textures. We consult on tension, cutting angle and tools to protect hair health while creating clean edges and balanced shape for every hair type.

For most clients, every 2–6 weeks is ideal depending on growth rate and desired crispness. Shorter styles or sharp lines need more frequent tapping; longer styles may need less. Your stylist will recommend a personalized schedule.

No — tapping removes only small amounts of length and focuses on edges, split ends and clean lines. If you want major length removed, request a full trim or haircut so the stylist can adjust accordingly.

Clean hair helps stylists see natural lines, but washing is not required. Tapping can be done on dry or lightly damp hair; just tell us about products or treatments so we tailor the service for the best results.
