GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for booking policies, deposits or the cancellation window? See the Policies page.
Do I need to wash my hair before my appointment?+
Yes. Please arrive with hair freshly shampooed, completely detangled and blow dried. See the Hair Prep Guide for full details.
How much hair should I buy?+
It depends on the style, length and fullness you want. A general guide is on the Hair Prep Guide page, and if you're still unsure, feel free to send a message before your appointment.
Can children book an appointment?+
Yes, children's styles are welcome and a parent or guardian must remain on site for the full appointment. Children who aren't being serviced aren't able to come along to someone else's appointment, so every client gets full attention.
What happens if I'm late?+
Arrivals more than 15 minutes past your appointment time may need to be rescheduled depending on the time remaining in the day, so every client still receives the full quality of service they booked.
Can I bring a guest?+
Appointments are for the person being serviced only, so please don't bring additional guests. This keeps the space calm and lets every client get full, undivided attention.
Can I eat during my appointment?+
Light snacks and drinks are okay. Please avoid meals that could stain hair, clothing or the workspace.
Can I reschedule my appointment?+
Yes, with at least 48 hours' notice. Requests made with less than 48 hours' notice may result in forfeiture of your booking retainer.
Do you require a deposit?+
Yes, a non-refundable booking retainer is required to reserve your appointment time. It is applied toward your final service total.
Is my retainer refundable?+
No, booking retainers are non-refundable, but they are always applied toward the cost of your service.
How long will my appointment take?+
Most styles take 3–6 hours depending on the technique, size and length chosen. Estimated times are listed on the Services page.
Do you provide the hair?+
Hair is not included in most services unless noted. See the Hair Prep Guide for recommended brands and how much to bring.
Do you braid over relaxed or color-treated hair?+
Yes, with care. Please mention your hair history when booking so the right approach can be planned for your hair's health.
How long do braids typically last?+
Most protective styles last 4–8 weeks with proper care. See the Aftercare section of the Hair Prep Guide for tips to extend the life of your style.
