Touched by Rue is a single-stylist studio in Getzville, owned and run by Rubeana Harris. The studio is open Tuesday through Saturday, with later evening hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and it is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Booking starts with a consultation, which costs $25 and takes 30 minutes. New clients must complete one before their first service, and it can be done by FaceTime for some services. Consultations are booked through the salon's booking app. Many of the braid services are priced by length and style, so the consultation is also where the final plan is set.
The studio's braid work covers cornrows, knotless braids in several sizes, Senegalese twists, boho braids with extensions, and children's braids, along with wig braid-downs and perimeter refreshes. Hair for braiding is not included in braid services unless the client gives 72 hours' notice so the salon can buy it, since the studio does not keep braiding hair on site. Guests who are not being serviced cannot wait in the studio during appointments.
Locs are a major part of the menu: maintenance and retwists, detox treatments, coloring, repairs priced per loc, and starter locs. Natural hair services include twist outs, wash and go styles and coils, and the salon also offers crochet installs, sew-ins, relaxers, silk presses, rod sets, trims, color deposits and root retouches. Eyebrow, lip and chin waxing and sideburns are available too. Payment plans through Buy Now, Pay Later are available for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment.
Booking policies are firm: clients more than 10 minutes late are cancelled and charged for the appointment, deposits are non-refundable, and no-shows or cancellations within 48 hours are charged the full service price. Owner travel to clients is available for a fee that starts at $45 and rises with distance. The salon describes its goal as making each client happy with the finished style.
The studio focuses on natural hair and protective styling, with one-on-one attention to each client.
