About

SCISSHER was founded in 2022 by Porchia after the DevaCurl salon closed in June of that year. The salon focuses on curly hair, and the founder brings nearly ten years of stylist work at DevaCurl to the business.

The salon describes itself as a space centered on education, intention, community and care for textured hair. According to the salon, its homepage shows a 5.0 rating from 57 reviews.

A visit begins with a consultation. Clients are asked to arrive with hair completely dry, in its natural curl pattern, free of ponytails, buns, clips, hats or stretched styles, and with only light styling. Adjustments are offered afterward to refine the original cut, within 7 days for Full Curl Services and within 3 days for Express Cuts.

The salon plans to develop its own products for textured hair. No product line is listed yet.

The salon describes its approach as centered on education, intention, community and care for textured hair, and cutting is done on dry hair so each curl's shape can be seen before any cut is made.
