Hair color is performed with Framesi Haircolor and ranges from natural tones to vibrant and fashion shades, including partial and full highlights. Haircuts cover women, men, girls and boys of all ages, from pixie cuts to long layers, with bangs shaping and layering included. Hair extensions are fitted to each client's hair type and desired style, using hand-tied wefts or tape-ins. Pricing for extensions is set at an in-person consultation and depends on hair type, length, density and application method. The salon says its extensions last up to a year with proper care, and that they use top-quality human hair.

The salon uses L'ANZA hair care products, which L'ANZA states are eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and developed and manufactured in the USA. The Kent salon also uses Framesi Smoothing Service and Framesi Haircolor products. The salon describes itself as a Certified L'ANZA Healing Color Salon, and the Kent salon describes itself as a Platinum Certified Salon.

The salon says every stylist is trained through a single David Gavin method, with ongoing continuing education and training.
