Booking takes a few steps. A non-refundable deposit secures the appointment and is credited toward the final balance, and it is refunded only if the salon cancels or makes an error. If a client has to miss an appointment, the deposit can go toward a later visit. Appointments are rescheduled through the email confirmation, and cancellations need a phone call at least 24 hours ahead. Clients running late should call or text the salon. A missed appointment without notice is charged the full service price and may lead to being barred from future booking.

Before a visit, hair should be 4 inches long, washed and blown out straight, with no oils in it. Styles cannot be changed on the day of the appointment, and full services are not booked as touch-ups. Extra guests are not permitted during appointments. Any concerns about the hair should be raised before leaving the chair and must be addressed within 24 hours of installation. The balance can be paid in cash, by Cash App or by Zelle.

The salon photographs finished hairstyles for its social media. Clients who would rather not be photographed need to say so before the service begins.

Services are designed to keep clients' hair healthy as it grows, with styles adjusted to each client's budget and hair.
