Each stylist runs their own business as an independent contractor, handling their own bookings, scheduling, pricing and personal policies. Prices and timing vary between stylists and by hair type, so clients are asked to check with the stylist about pricing, availability and booking before they schedule. Booking is done by contacting the stylist directly by text, email or the online link on their listing.
A consultation with the stylist, by text or in person, is strongly encouraged before a first appointment. The salon also sets clear rules on arrival times, cancellations, no-shows, payment and guests, which clients should read before booking.
The salon says it aims to be a safe place for everyone. It reports several local honors: Charlotte Observer Best Hair Salon in 2020, Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorites in 2020, Best in the Nest Best Hair Salon in 2020, and runner-up for Best in the Nest Hair Salon in 2023.
The salon says it aims to be a safe place for everyone, and each stylist works independently with their own pricing and booking.
