The W Salon

Its listed services are blow outs and sew-ins, both in the hair category, and shampoo is included with every appointment.

Clients are asked to arrive with their hair already detangled, since detangling is not offered as a service. Glue or product buildup needs an additional shampoo service. The remaining balance is paid in cash on the day of the appointment, and deposits are non-refundable.

A Convenient Appointment option is available for early morning, quiet-time or last-minute bookings. It carries an additional $100 fee, and the salon describes it as a luxury service.

The salon sells a hair growth oil called Recharge for $10, which it describes as suitable for all hair types and as a blend that reduces breakage and adds shine. It also carries ceramic flat irons in 2-inch, 1-inch and 0.3-inch plates, with the 2-inch plate listed for long hair, long extensions and silk presses. The salon says it uses the best products and tools available, which is its own claim.

To keep appointments running smoothly, clients should not book if they have other appointments that day. Children and extra guests are not allowed at appointments, and anyone who is unwell is asked to contact the salon to reschedule.

The salon focuses on blow outs and sew-ins with products and tools it sells, and it asks clients to prepare their hair before arriving.
