Booking policies: new clients provide credit card information to hold an appointment. Clients have 48 hours to reschedule, or 75% is charged for a missed appointment. Online, the shop sells logo caps and t-shirts.

Color appointments are planned from a photo of the client's current hair and a picture of the desired result, sent before booking. Color without a cut needs the post color blow out added if a blow out is wanted; otherwise hair is rough-dried.
