Mahogany and Rose

Mahogany and Rose is a small salon for clients who wear curly hair or locs. It is located inside Style Studios on Howe Avenue in Sacramento. Founder and CEO Camille Janae opened the first location in 2018, and she also teaches other stylists independently.

The salon puts education first and teaches clients how to keep their hair healthy between visits. The salon describes its space as one where clients feel embraced and celebrated. Clients are asked to come alone to appointments, since guests, including children, are not allowed in the salon during services. Services are provided only to children at least 13 years old.

The salon is tip free. Gratuity is included in its pricing, and the salon says it aims to pay fair wages plus commission rather than rely on tips, citing the history of tipping as a reason. Payment is by major credit card or cash, and the salon does not keep change on hand. Clients must enter a credit card at booking to reserve an appointment.

Appointments can be cancelled or rescheduled online free of charge up to 48 hours before the appointment. Cancelling less than 48 hours ahead carries a fee of 50% of the service price, and less than 24 hours carries 100%. Arriving 15 minutes or more late requires rescheduling and incurs a fee of 100% of the service price. No-shows are charged the full service price to the card on file and cannot book future services. Late cancellation and no-show fees do not go toward a future service. Refunds are not given for in-salon services, scheduling fees, or deposits, though clients who are unsatisfied and report within 7 days may receive a solution.

Education comes first, with clients taught how to maintain healthy hair care between visits.
