New Client Get to Know You Form
Thank you for choosing Kindred Curl, our team looks forward to being a part of your curl journey! Our mission is to embrace people of all cultures in a happy and fun environment, teaching them how to achieve their best and healthiest curls. If that’s what you’re looking for, then you’ve found the place for you!
To make sure we are on the same page and we are the right fit for you, we would like you to take a few moments and fill out this form to the best of your ability, in its entirety. The more information we have about your curls and your curl story, the better prepared we are to give you the best New Kindred Curl Success Experience possible. Our Kindred Curl Haircuts are meant to be worn curly and will not look their best when straightened. We encourage our clients to embrace their naturally curly hair.
The best way to request an appointment is to fill out our “Get to Know You” form. Once we receive the form we will call you to reserve your appointment or reserve a place on our waiting list. A credit card is not required to place you on the waiting list, but we will have to have one on file to secure your appointment. We accept all major credit cards and Venmo.

How to prepare for your appointment
All clients must arrive at the salon with hair that is 100% dry, within one day of being washed and styled with products to enhance the curl. We want to see how you achieve your best curls with your current products and methods. Please do not use or wear bobby pins, ponytails, headbands, rubber bands, hats, clips or anything else that will leave dents, marks or change your curl pattern in any way. Excessive snarls, product buildup or hair that has been styled that alters or stretches out the curl pattern may require an additional pre-service or re-booked for a later appointment.
Two weeks prior to your appointment, we ask that you stop using any products with silicones, butters or oils in them (including coconut oil). Please do not use anything that contains silicones, petroleum, lanolin, butters and/or oils. For example Shea Moisture, Cantu, Camille Rose, Pantene, As I Am (really too many to list them all). If you use these types of products, please perform a detox 3-4 times at home to remove the buildup that is likely on your hair. These products tend to excessively coat the hair and mask your curls’ spring factor. We recommend Mailbu Un-Do-Goo or Innersense Organic Beauty Detox Hair Mask as clarifiers. We sell them in salon or you can call to order if you would like.

Please note: There are two dogs (Daxton and Fifi) on the premises at all times (Helix the cat has retired and is now living the life at our new home, off premises). The dogs are hypoallergenic as our team has allergies too! The pups are very friendly and have been raised in a salon environment, however if you have an aversion to animals please let us know and we will place them behind closed doors during your appointment time.
