Before booking, please take a moment to read how appointments are structured.
My services are designed around time, care, and long-term results, not rushed or high-churn scheduling. Appointments are intentionally booked with enough time for consultation, technical precision, and thoughtful execution so your hair can be done well—and grow out well.
If you’re new here, a New Client Consultation is required prior to scheduling your first service. This allows us to align on your goals, hair history, and the appropriate service and timing before your appointment.
If you’re unsure which service to choose, book the option that most closely matches your needs or select a consultation. Services are priced based on scope and time, and additional time may be added if needed to complete the work thoroughly.
This approach works best for clients who value clarity, realistic maintenance planning, and care that supports hair health between visits—not just the day-of result.
Required for all new clients. This brief consultation helps me understand your hair history, goals, and service needs so your first appointment is booked with the correct timing. You’ll complete a short intake form, share current hair photos, and provide inspiration. If needed, we may also schedule a brief FaceTime or Zoom call to clarify details before booking.
