- TAKING BRAIDS DOWN SERVICES
Please be sure to take your braids down and prep your hair prior to your appointment. Take downs are scheduled separately. Unbraided hair will result in a cancellation.
- CANCELLING WHEN HAIR WAS PROVIDED
Please be mindful If you cancel your appointment, I cannot use that same hair for someone else. Everyone chooses different lengths and colors. Therefore, you are still expected to pay for the hair if you cancel. At this point, I have spent money and time prepping for your appointment. Please feel free to pick it up and use it at a later time as it is yours.
- 5PM SLOTS
Please be mindful when booking this slot in terms of styles, sizes and lengths you are choosing as it is a late appointment.

ALLOWING TIME TO BE SERVICEDIf you have to be at work or made other plans right after your appointment, please allow yourself enough time to get the service done. Please do not rush me by asking “when are we going to be done?”. Styling takes time, but I do my best to get everyone out as quickly as possible. I do not want you to be unhappy when you leave my chair due to being rushed.
