The diamond dry haircut involves painstakingly cutting each dry section of hair upwards and at various angles. As a result, the hair strands assume a 3D shape when they sit flat, capturing and scattering natural light, exactly like the facets of a diamond.

The Diamond Dry Cut™ is a precise approach to cutting hair in its natural 3-Dimensional state. The client sees the shape evolving as the hairdresser sculpts organically. This method is taught in the Academy of the Michael Van Clarke salon, and, along with an exceptional teaching programme, has led to winning multiple industry awards for training.

The specific technique used to cut my hair is called the Diamond Dry Cut, which involves cutting the hair dry (as the name suggests…) to allow the stylist to get a better idea of where the hair natural falls and peaks, so that issues can be counteracted and you’re far more likely to have a finished style that sits the way you want it to.
