A first visit begins with a 2-hour session that opens with a consultation covering hair history, scalp health, lifestyle and goals, followed by a scalp brushing and oil treatment, cleansing, deep conditioning, scalp massage, aromatherapy and a hot towel before the cut and styling. Existing clients can book a 1.5-hour haircut with a similar sequence or a 1-hour option for short, cropped styles that need little styling.

The studio's services center on haircuts and scalp care. Scalp Rituals are 30-minute steam treatments with botanically derived products, including a neck and scalp massage, and are offered only as an add-on to a haircut or blowout; the studio suggests them every one to three months. Blowouts run an hour and include a round brush finish or a curly diffuse. Styling Lessons are 90-minute private sessions that teach clients to enhance natural waves and curls with a diffuser and their hands.

Pricing is listed per service and the studio says gratuity is not included or expected. The studio does not offer hair color, aerosols or synthetic fragrance. Products are botanically based and made without harsh chemical ingredients, and after a new client haircut the stylist sends a follow-up email with links to purchase the products used.

Booking policies ask for at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling; changes inside that window are charged half the service cost to the card on file, and no-shows or day-of cancellations are charged the full cost. Arrivals are held for a 15-minute grace period. Clients who are ill are asked to stay home and let the studio know. Clients are asked to include their pronouns in the booking notes. Free street parking, including two-hour and unlimited spots, is available nearby.

Focuses on slow, unhurried appointments with consultations before cutting, tailoring haircuts to natural texture and lifestyle, and using botanically based products.
