JAZMINE NICOL

Jazmine Nicol's hair business is on Harper Avenue in St Clair Shores, Michigan. The menu centers on relaxer work, from full-head retouches and partial relaxers to combined packages that add a style or wave. It also offers a wash-and-style option and a set of add-ons for clients who want to extend a visit.

The business describes its appointments as more than a haircut, with the aim of helping clients feel more confident. Online booking opens on the last Sunday of each month at 10 AM. The studio is open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 3:30 PM and Friday from 8 AM to 1 PM, and it is closed on weekends.

Each appointment requires a $26 deposit that is applied to the service cost, and deposits are non-refundable. Changes to an existing appointment need 24 hours' notice, and clients who miss an appointment without calling are unable to book future ones. Children and extra guests are not permitted at appointments.

Only one add-on can be chosen when booking online, so additional add-ons should be requested at the time of booking, since adding services on the day lengthens the appointment. Appointments outside the listed availability are squeeze-ins with an additional $100 fee, and these are not on the booking site, so clients need to contact the business directly.

Payment is accepted by cash, Zelle, Tap Pay, and the card kept on file. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment. Visitors who have questions can reach the business through a contact form.

The business presents each visit as an experience meant to build clients' confidence, not only a haircut.
