Extensions are another specialty, done by hand tied or I-Tip methods. An extensions consultation starts at $30 for 30 minutes, and that fee goes toward the service discussed. Hand tied installation takes about two hours, with a move-up scheduled 8 to 10 weeks later. I-Tip installation takes about three hours, uses hair bought at the consultation and includes a haircut to blend the extensions with natural hair. Hand tied weft removal is $75, and other extension removal starts at $100 and requires a consultation.

Color pricing is set by service and time. A color consultation costs $30 for 30 minutes and goes toward the color appointment. Color correction and fashion colors are charged hourly, with color correction at $150 an hour and fashion colors and full platinum card at $125 an hour. Color correction generally needs a consultation for an exact price. A bleach re-touch is meant for 4 to 8 weeks of grow-out since the last re-touch, and longer grow-out counts as color correction.

Cuts, styling and treatments are priced separately. A men's haircut is $70 for 30 minutes, and a women's haircut with blow-dry starts at $95 for 45 minutes or more. Bang trims are complimentary between haircut appointments and do not include face framing, with a $15 fee for first-time clients. Brow tint and eyebrow wax are $25 each and lip wax is $20, all 15 minutes.

Booking policies: Buy Now, Pay Later is available for in-person bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment. The salon asks for at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Changes or cancellations made under 48 hours before the appointment are charged 50% of the reserved services, and a no-call/no-show is charged the full scheduled amount.

Focuses on color and extensions with a detail-oriented method, building each service around the client's lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
