Haircuts & Styling · Walnut Creek, CA
Every cut and finish, shaped around your hair
Haircuts and styling cover everything from a quick bang trim to a full new shape and a polished blowout. At Urban Loxx Salon & Day Spa in Walnut Creek, our stylists cut and style hair for women, men and kids ages 0 to 12, with options for curly texture, dry cutting and special events. Start here to find the service that fits your hair and your plans.
Which cut or styling service should you book?
Start with what you want to change. If you like your shape and just need it cleaned up, a trim keeps your length and lines fresh. If you want something new, book a full cut so your stylist has room to rework the shape. Our goal is a look that brings out your natural beauty, not one that fights it.
Your texture matters too. Wavy and curly hair can spring up once it dries, so a cut made with curls in mind tends to sit better day to day. Straight or fine hair may need a different plan for body and movement.
Then think about the finish. Some guests want a cut and nothing more. Others want a smooth blowout for a work week, or a styled look for a dinner, wedding or photo day.

- Women's haircuts for short, shoulder length and long hair
- Men's haircuts from fades to longer styles
- Wash and style plus blowouts
- Updos and special occasion hair
- Perms and relaxers to add or relax curl
How a haircut or styling visit at Urban Loxx works
-
Pick your service and book
Choose the service that matches your goal, whether that is a trim, a new shape or a styled finish. You can book online any time. New to the salon? Fill out our new guest form first so we know a little about your hair before you arrive.
-
Talk it through with your stylist
Every visit starts with a short conversation. Your stylist looks at your texture, growth patterns and how you wear your hair on a normal day. Photos you love, and photos you don't, help a lot. This is the time to say how much length you are willing to lose.
-
The cut or styling itself
Your stylist works in the way that suits the service. A dry trim is done on clean, dry hair in its natural state. Most other cuts are done on damp hair. Styling services use brushes and hot tools to build smoothness, volume or waves, depending on the look you asked for.
-
Finish, tips and next visit
Before you leave, your stylist shows you how the shape is meant to fall and how to recreate it at home. Ask about products and the tools you already own. If you want to keep the shape crisp, plan your next visit while the look is fresh in your mind.

Dry trim or curly cut: how do you choose?
A Dry Trim is cut on clean, dry hair in its natural state, so your stylist sees exactly how each section falls. It works well when you want to keep your current shape and length and just tidy the ends. Please arrive with clean, dry hair, styled the way you usually wear it.
A Curly Cut is made for wavy and curly texture. The aim is to bring out your natural waves and curls, balance the shape and cut down on bulk where it builds up. If your curls change a lot from day to day, mention it. For a full new shape on any texture, see our women's haircut page.

What should parents know about a children's haircut?
Our Children's Haircut is for kids ages 0 to 12. It does not include a wash or blowout, so it helps to bring your child in with clean, combed hair. A snack or a favorite toy can make the chair feel more familiar for younger kids.
Tell your stylist how your child wears their hair for school, sports or swim, and how much fuss they will tolerate each morning. A simple, easy shape often works well for busy families. If your child is nervous, mention it when you book so your stylist knows ahead of time. Older kids are welcome to bring their own photo ideas.

How do bang trims, blowouts and tinsel fit into a visit?
Bangs grow fast and show it first. Book Bang Trim, New Bangs when you want bangs cut for the first time, and Bang Trim, Existing Bangs to keep the bangs you have in shape between full cuts.
A Blowout gives a smooth finish and does not include updos or curl styling. The Luxury Blowout adds a scalp massage, an Ozone Micro Mist Steamer that hydrates and conditions, and seven-color light therapy for shine. Tinsel Hair adds thin, shiny strands for a bit of sparkle at a party, concert or holiday. Current pricing is on our Service Menu, and you can pick a stylist from our team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need clean hair for a dry trim?
Yes. Please come to your Dry Trim with clean, dry hair. Your stylist cuts your hair in its natural state, so leftover product or second-day oil can change how it falls. Wear it the way you normally do, without heavy styling, so the trim matches real life.
Can my child get a wash with their haircut?
The Children's Haircut does not include a wash or blowout. It is a cut only, for ages 0 to 12. If your child's hair tangles easily, brush it out before you come in. Ask when booking if you are unsure which service fits an older child.
How long does tinsel hair usually stay in?
Tinsel hair is tied onto small sections of your own hair, so it grows out with you. Many people keep it for a few weeks, though it varies with how often you wash and brush. Keep high heat tools away from the strands, since tinsel can melt.
How often should I trim my bangs?
Bangs often start to poke into the eyes within a few weeks. Many guests book a Bang Trim, Existing Bangs between full haircuts to keep them sitting right. It is a short visit that keeps the shape from drifting until your next full cut.
Is a blowout the same as a wash and style?
They are close cousins. A Blowout gives a smooth finish without updos or curls. Wash & Style starts with a cleansing wash, then styling with hot tools. If you want clean hair and a styled finish in one visit, our wash and style page compares both, along with the Luxury Blowout.
I don't know what cut I want. Where do I start?
Book a full haircut rather than a trim, so there is room to change things. Bring a few photos, even rough ones, and tell your stylist what bugs you about your hair now. Together you can land on a shape that suits your texture and routine.
