Required registry views

One cut. Four viewpoints.

A single portrait can hide the taper, fade height, crown, weight line, or neckline. Every published Hairqut record must show the construction from the front, three-quarter, side, and rear. The recorded fashion white backdrop keeps the silhouette readable while preserving fine strand detail.

Front view showing a near-central opening and soft face-side wave bends — Front0°
Documents the near-central opening and cheek-to-jaw wave onset without proving a permanent natural part, exact length, hidden face-framing layers, or symmetry.

Side90°

Exposes visible surface bends and lower dry fall without establishing hidden layer count, stacking, elevation, or a diffuser or iron method.

Rear view showing continuous wave lanes and a softly uneven lower perimeter — Rear180°
Documents crown-to-end wave lanes and a softly uneven lower edge without proving centre-part continuation, symmetry, natural wave class, or hidden construction.

Hairqut Style Blueprint · Style construction

A visual brief your professional can use.

The registered views establish the reference. This blueprint pins the most important construction decisions directly to those source views, then makes adaptation, maintenance, and the chair-side conversation clear.

Verified-angle construction map

Approved-view opening, wave-direction, and lower-edge map

The approved front, side, and rear views are annotated only where the near-central opening, cheek-to-jaw face-side bends, separated side wave bands, shoulder-skimming lower edge, continuous rear wave lanes, and softly uneven rear perimeter are visible. Natural texture, exact length, hidden layers, sectioning, elevation, tools, product, heat, timing, and price are not prescribed.

Annotated front construction map for Soft Wavy Layers. Front view showing a near-central opening and soft face-side wave bends — Near-central opening and cheek-to-jaw wave onset
The front documents visible opening and face-side movement without assigning a permanent natural part, exact layer origin, symmetry, or cutting geometry.
01
Near-central opening
A visible near-central opening divides the front field; natural persistence, source section, symmetry, and styling method are unknown
02
Cheek-to-jaw wave onset
Visible face-side bends begin around cheek-to-jaw level and travel away from the face; shortest dry point, hidden layer origin, and connection are unrecorded

Side90°

Approved publication view

Separated side wave bands and shoulder-skimming lower edge

The profile distinguishes finished surface bends from the lower dry edge without claiming a natural wave class, hidden layer map, or prescribed styling technique.

Separated side wave bands

Several visible S-shaped surface bands alternate through the side; natural pattern, hidden layers, graduation, connection, and weight removal are not proven

Shoulder-skimming lower edge

The finished lower ends meet or hover near the shoulder in the cropped view; exact body-landmark length, shrinkage, tension, and cutting line are unknown

Annotated rear construction map for Soft Wavy Layers. Rear view showing continuous wave lanes and a softly uneven lower perimeter — Continuous rear wave lanes and softly uneven rear perimeter
The rear records visible wave paths and lower edge variation without inventing part continuation, symmetry, hidden layers, internal density, or cutting line.
01
Continuous rear wave lanes
Visible wave lanes descend from retained crown coverage toward the ends; natural pattern, hidden layer count, sectioning, elevation, and internal density are unknown
02
Softly uneven rear perimeter
The lower rear edge is soft and irregular around shoulder level rather than a crisp straight line; exact baseline, symmetry, tension, and finish method are unrecorded

Pins locate the reference evidence; the numbered notes make the request legible in the chair. This is an original Hairqut communication diagram, not a universal service prescription.

Provenance: The diagram uses locked publication views that mirror the formal package byte-for-byte. Semantic HTML and SVG overlays preserve approved pixels and accessible text; no replacement raster was generated. Conversation-level source: conv:6a5d8bcd-7ab4-83ea-9138-17f07d60a5a0.

Reference result

A shoulder-skimming wavy-looking result with a near-central opening, face-side bends, separated side wave bands, continuous rear wave lanes, and a softly uneven lower edge.

Starting-state gate

A professional must assess current length by zone, natural texture and movement, shrinkage or expansion, density, strand support, growth and part behavior, existing layers, condition, porosity, scalp, colour and heat history, and routine before confirming the result.

Personal adaptation

Opening, face-side reach, side width, wave definition, density retention, lower edge, styling tolerance, and maintenance matter more than copying the image. No universal age or face-shape rule is supported.

Full specification · evidence graded

What is known, what must be assessed.

Every field is marked by its evidence boundary. “Unknown” is intentional: the registry never invents hidden technique, anatomy, timing, or price.

Construction

Technical specification

Canonical taxonomy: Haircut in the Long layered cut family with a soft wavy-looking finished surface; silver-blonde colour is optional and not taxonomic.; Recorded
Front opening: A visible near-central opening divides the front field; natural persistence, source section, and symmetry are unknown.; Visible
Face-side movement: Visible bends begin around cheek-to-jaw level and travel away from the face; exact shortest point, layer origin, elevation, and overdirection are unrecorded.; Visible
Side movement: Separated S-shaped surface bands alternate through the side, creating a wavy-looking finish without proving natural pattern or hidden layers.; Visible
Rear surface: Wave lanes descend from retained crown coverage toward the lower edge; exact internal density, layers, graduation, and weight removal are unmeasured.; Visible
Perimeter: The lower edge appears shoulder-skimming, soft, and irregular rather than crisply blunt; exact baseline, symmetry, tension, and cutting line are not proven.; Visible
Length boundary: The result meets or hovers near the shoulders in cropped portraits, but posture, clothing, framing, and wave compression do not support a transferable centimetre measurement.; Visible
Direction and weight: Front surfaces move outward while side and rear waves alternate downward; exact weight line, internal distribution, and density removal require assessment.; Visible
Texture and finish boundary: The finished surface shows loose bends and separated waves. Natural curl class, reset behavior, air-drying, diffuser or iron method, and product formula are not specified.; Visible
Hidden construction: Sectioning, layer count, elevation, overdirection, graduation, cutting angle, tension, tool path, connection, and weight-removal depth cannot be prescribed from the images.; Unknown
Fade, taper, and neckline: No fade, taper, guard system, or exposed neckline is part of the visible identity; hidden nape construction remains unrecorded beneath the length.; Visible
Variation boundary: Opening, face-side reach, wave definition, density retention, and lower edge may be adapted while preserving the shoulder-skimming soft-wave identity.; Assess

Adaptation

Hair and suitability

Visible reference finish: The approved views show loose finished bends and separated wave bands, not a verified natural 2A pattern.; Visible
Texture and wet-to-dry change: Assess natural pattern, shrinkage or expansion, frizz response, wave reset, heat history, and wet-to-dry change before setting length and movement.; Assess
Density and strand support: Assess density by zone, strand diameter, transparency, bulk, perimeter support, and response to weight removal; medium density is not proven.; Assess
Growth and part behavior: Assess natural part, front growth, cowlicks, crown split, whorls, and daily fall before promising a stable near-central opening or balanced movement.; Assess
Length and achievable state: Assess current length by zone, previous layers, breakage, fringe history, undercut or disconnection, and whether enough density remains for the agreed lower edge.; Assess
Condition and porosity: Assess dryness, absorption, elasticity, tangling, split ends, breakage, chemical history, buildup, and heat response before cutting or finishing.; Assess
Scalp and sensitivity: Assess irritation, lesions, flaking, thinning, tenderness, ingredient sensitivity, and heat or tension tolerance before service.; Assess
Face shape, age, and personal adaptation: No universal suitability rule is supported. Personalize opening, face-side reach, side width, wave definition, density retention, and lower edge while retaining the style identity.; Assess
Routine and environment: Confirm detangling, drying and heat habits, wave preference, climate, activity, sleep reset, product feel, wash frequency, visits, time, and budget.; Assess
Continuous-view limitation: The four AI-derived views are consistent illustrations but do not prove one continuous physical subject, identical anatomy, symmetry, strand placement, or a hidden one-to-one layer map.; Unknown

Service handoff

Booking service: womens_haircut
Appointment duration: Not specified in canonical evidence; confirm after current length, texture, density, condition, existing layers, detangling, drying, finishing, and any separately scoped colour work are assessed.
Price: Not stored in this style record; the current booking service controls haircut price, and colour, toning, treatment, correction, extensive detangling, or elaborate wave finishing requires separate confirmation.

Professional requirements

Skills

Balancing a near-central opening and face-side movement from actual dry fall, growth, and wet-to-dry change
Adapting visible movement, density retention, and lower edge to texture, condition, prior layers, and personal goals
Choosing sectioning, elevation, overdirection, cutting line, tension, tools, connection, and weight removal from assessment rather than inferred pixels
Separating optional colour and polished wave finishing from the core haircut while protecting hair and scalp integrity

Tools and product categories

Professional shears, combs, clips, sectioning and detail tools selected from the assessed plan rather than a fixed long-layer recipe
Air-drying support, controlled dryer and diffuser, or iron selected only for actual texture, target, condition, access, and heat tolerance
Detangling, conditioning, heat-protection, wave-definition, and light-hold categories selected for porosity, density, strand support, scalp, scent, buildup, and washability
Colour-safe or toning care only when relevant to an actual colour service; silver-blonde colour is not required for this haircut

Safety and starting state

Confirm before service

Current front, side, crown, rear, and perimeter lengths plus existing layers, disconnection, home cutting, or uneven growth
Natural texture, wet-to-dry change, density, strand diameter, growth direction, part behavior, cowlicks, whorls, and daily fall
Condition, porosity, tangling, split ends, breakage, chemical or heat history, scalp condition, and product buildup
Desired opening, face-side reach, wave definition, density retention, lower edge, styling effort, visit cadence, time, and budget

Do not promise unchanged

Do not promise natural 2A texture, medium density, exact shoulder length, hidden long layers, symmetry, or a centre part from the finished images.
Do not remove front or perimeter length before confirming wet-to-dry change, growth direction, current layers, breakage, density support, and the intended lower edge.
Do not prescribe sectioning, elevation, overdirection, cutting angle, tension, razor or thinning use, diffuser, iron, mousse, texture spray, serum, or purple shampoo without assessment.
Do not promise identical waves, crown lift, airy movement, low maintenance, silver-colour behavior, or a fixed refresh interval across textures, growth rates, conditions, routines, climates, and budgets.
Pause or adapt when scalp irritation, significant breakage, severe tangling, compromised ends, or incompatible prior work makes the agreed result unsafe or unachievable in one service.

Evidence and governance

Source package: os/hairqut-styles/registry/entries/HQ-STYLE-000008-soft-wavy-layers

Asset relationship: All four approved publication images mirror the formal package byte-for-byte.

Generated media: The approved views depict a fictional AI-generated adult. GPT Image 2 was requested through ChatGPT, but the exact responding model and per-request IDs were not independently captured; conversation-level source conv:6a5d8bcd-7ab4-83ea-9138-17f07d60a5a0 is preserved. The on-page diagram is a deterministic overlay on locked views.

Privacy: No real customer photo, identity, age, health record, cultural identity, or biometric record is used in this Blueprint.

Booking handoff: The Blueprint links to the existing womens_haircut service; duration, price, availability, and any separate colour, toning, treatment, detangling, or extensive wave styling come from the current booking and consultation flow.

Consultation

Confirm the opening, face-side reach, wave definition, density support, and lower edge

Agree on the dry opening, shortest visible face-side point, side and rear movement, lower length, and perimeter using all four approved views.
Assess natural part, cowlicks, crown growth, texture, wet-to-dry change, density, strand support, current layers, condition, porosity, scalp, colour and heat history before choosing construction.
Confirm whether current length, density, and integrity can support the agreed movement and lower edge now or whether growth, repair, reduced layering, or a shorter adaptation is needed.
Separate the haircut from optional colour, toning, treatment, detangling, and a polished heat or wave set; confirm scope, time, price, care, and consent independently.

Care plan

Keep the intent, not a fixed schedule.

1
When the face-side bend loses its agreed reach
Reassess the opening and front movement
Growth, natural movement, wet-to-dry change, heat use, condition, coverage preference, and budget determine actual timing.
2
When the lower shape stops sitting as agreed
Review side movement and rear perimeter
Check current layers, density support, ends, tangling, wave reset, rear balance, and styling effort before reshaping.
3
On styling days
Choose heat or no-heat shaping deliberately
Select air-drying, diffuser or iron work, protection, and hold for actual texture, porosity, condition, scalp, climate, and desired definition.
4
When integrity or scalp changes
Protect condition before increasing movement
Reassess breakage, tangling, elasticity, dryness, chemical history, scalp symptoms, and heat tolerance before removing weight or increasing styling.

Home kit

Product categories, not product pressure.

Cleanse

Gentle scalp and length cleansing category

Choose strength and frequency for scalp, oil, buildup, colour, activity, texture, density, and wash routine.

Condition

Slip and conditioning category

Support detangling and ends according to porosity, density, strand support, damage, and product tolerance.

Protect

Heat-protection category

Apply as directed whenever heat is used; temperature and frequency must match condition, colour history, porosity, and tolerance.

Shape

Lightweight wave-definition or hold category

Select only if needed for agreed movement without assuming one mousse, spray, cream, or serum suits every starting state.

Detangle

Wide-tooth comb or suitable brush

Work gently in sections from ends upward and adapt to texture, tangling, shedding, wet-hair fragility, and scalp comfort.
