EXCESSIVE HAIR LOSS:
- I am a hair stylist and specialize in hair care not hair loss. If you have excessive hair loss, please book an appointment with a dermatologist to determine an action plan and/or if medication is needed.
TANGLED / MATTED HAIR:
- Please ensure that all prior extensions have been removed and hair is detangled prior to any appointment. There will be an additional $15-25 detangle fee if hair is not detangled and contains excessive build up on the scalp. You will be notified of this prior to your service.
- Detangling after shampooing is part of your service. Having to detangle your hair before your service and/or before shampooing (in order not to further cause more tangling) is NOT part of your service.
- We charge for extension take down services.
COLOR CORRECTIONS, COLOR + 1st Time Color Clients
- You MUST schedule a color consultation prior to any color service as I may not have your color in stock in the color bar. ALL color services must be booked with a style.
- I do not do color corrections.
- As of 1/1/21, I no longer offer blonding services, two step processes, or any color service that requires me to lift the hair.
- I do offer basic grey coverage color services.
Recommendations, Tidbits + Tips
- If it has been more than 2-3 weeks since your last wash or your hair is excessively tangled, then use a conditioner and water to remove any shed hair and twist or plait the hair into 6-8 sections.
- Get extension hair the day before the appointment. Follow up with stylist before your appointment to ensure you have the right hair or to address any concerns.
- Bring 1-3 pictures of a style or color you are interested in when requesting the duplication of a style.
- If hair is very kinky, very long, very short, or very thick, then your services may take longer than the scheduled time.
- Excessive talking with the stylist will distract the stylist and extend your service time.
- Excessive breaks will extend your service time. Please plan ahead and bring relaxing items such as headphones, books, ipad or tablet, etc.
