The goal is a shape that works on day one and still works six weeks later.

- Grows out cleanly
- Low-maintenance by design

Haircut FAQs
How often should I get a haircut?
Most women book every 6–10 weeks depending on length, layers, and maintenance preferences.
Do you cut hair dry or wet?
Both — but most haircuts at Formosa are primarily cut wet because it allows for a more accurate, balanced, and consistent final shape. Cutting wet lets us see how the hair naturally falls, control tension, and create clean lines and structure that translate into a more precise finished haircut.
Dry cutting is then used strategically to refine the shape, personalize movement, and adjust for natural texture once the hair is styled. The exact approach depends on your hair type, density, and the finished look we’re creating — but the goal is always the same: a haircut that looks polished, natural, and easy to manage in real life.
Can you help me decide on a new style?
Absolutely. Consultations are a key part of every haircut appointment.
Are haircuts good for fine or thin hair?
Yes — precision cutting can add movement and fullness without removing too much density.
What if I don’t style my hair much at home?
That’s totally fine. Your cut will be designed to work with minimal effort.
