New client? Start with a consultation

Twenty minutes to talk through your hair type, density and the style you have in mind, before any hours are held.

The booking flow does not yet require a consultation before a style, so we ask every new client to book it first, and the salon confirms long styles by hand.

Before you book

How long should I set aside?

Longer styles (box braids, locs) can run 3–6+ hours depending on length, density and the style chosen — book realistic time off and avoid scheduling anything straight after.

Do I need to prep my hair?

Come with hair washed, detangled and blow-dried or stretched if possible — a day-of wash adds time and cost to a long appointment.

Why does price/time vary so much by style?

Length, density and the exact style chosen all change how long a session takes — the price list shows typical ranges; your stylist confirms the exact time and price at consultation or booking.

Can I bring my own extension hair?

Yes — bring your preferred brand and colour, and let us know in advance if your chosen style needs a particular type.

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancel or reschedule 48+ hours ahead for a full deposit refund; inside 48 hours the deposit is retained — a long session blocks a large part of a stylist's day.

Do you work with all hair types and textures?

Yes — the team works across natural hair types and textures; mention any specific concerns (e.g. scalp sensitivity) at consultation.
