This guide focuses on choosing the appointment for butterfly layers. Use it to prepare a specific salon conversation, then confirm the plan with the stylist who assesses your hair.
Choose the goal before the booking label
This label typically points to shorter face framing combined with retained longer lengths. To book butterfly layers, explain the finished result and ask which menu item matches it. Similar labels can describe different appointment blocks, especially when a consultation, cutting or finishing is also needed.
Give the salon useful information
Describe your current length, texture and hair history, then explain what should change. Specify how short the framing can be while keeping the overall length. Ask: “How short can the face-framing layers be without losing my preferred ponytail?” If you are deciding between butterfly layers and long blended layers, say so before the visit.
Select the actual studio
Craft Collective has a North Hills studio at 2014D Babcock Blvd, Pittsburgh, and a Canonsburg studio at 115 W Pike St. North Hills has online booking. Canonsburg is by appointment; call 724-514-7231 to schedule. Confirm the selected stylist, service and location rather than assuming every appointment is available at both studios.
