At Gustav Fouche, I believe a haircut should do more than just change the way you look, it should enhance the way you feel every single day. That’s why I’ve embraced the 3D Dry Cut, a technique that allows me to shape hair in its natural state, ensuring it works effortlessly for you long after you’ve left the salon.
Why I Cut Hair Dry
Traditionally, hair is cut wet, which can be misleading. Wet hair behaves differently as it appears longer, lies flatter, and doesn’t show its natural movement. This often results in a cut that looks great in the salon but doesn’t translate well into your daily routine. Dry cutting, however, allows me to see exactly how your hair falls, moves, and reacts in real time, creating a cut that complements both your natural texture and your lifestyle.
The 3D Dry Cut Approach
I begin every 3D Dry Cut with a simple wash and a blow-dry, leaving your hair free of styling products so I can see its true shape and texture. From there, I analyse how your hair naturally drapes over your head, how it frames your face, and how different sections interact with one another.
Once I understand how your hair moves, I sculpt it in three dimensions, cutting strategically to create balance, volume, and flow. I take into account how shorter pieces push longer ones in a certain direction, ensuring your haircut enhances your natural beauty rather than fighting against it.
