We kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to offer the time slot to other clients. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a cancellation fee.

Question 8

Why do color services have consultation pricing?

Hair color pricing depends on several factors including your hair length, current color, desired result, and the techniques required. We offer complimentary consultations to assess your hair and provide an accurate quote before beginning any color service.

Question 9

What should I expect during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit begins with a consultation where we'll discuss your hair goals, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences. Our stylists will assess your hair type and condition before recommending the best services and products for you. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

Question 10

Should I bring photos of styles I like?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please bring reference photos! They help us understand exactly what you envision. However, keep in mind that results may vary based on your hair type, texture, and condition. Your stylist will discuss what is achievable and may suggest modifications.

Question 11

What if I am not sure what I want?

Accepted Answer

That's perfectly fine! Our experienced stylists are here to help guide you. We'll discuss your lifestyle, face shape, hair texture, and preferences to recommend styles that will work beautifully for you.

Question 12

How often should I get my hair cut?

Accepted Answer

For most hairstyles, we recommend a trim every 6-8 weeks to maintain shape and remove split ends. If you're growing your hair out, you can extend this to 8-12 weeks. Short styles may require more frequent visits every 4-6 weeks.

Question 13

How do I maintain my color between appointments?

Accepted Answer

Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Wash with lukewarm water instead of hot, limit heat styling, and protect your hair from sun exposure. We carry professional products specifically formulated to extend the life of your color.

Question 14

What products do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

We carry a curated selection of professional-grade products including Olaplex for hair repair, premium color-care lines, and styling products suited to different hair types. Your stylist can recommend specific products based on your hair needs.

Question 15

Can damaged hair be repaired?

Accepted Answer

While severely damaged hair may need to be cut, many concerns can be addressed with proper treatments. We offer deep conditioning treatments, Olaplex bond repair, and Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatments that can significantly improve hair health and appearance.

Question 16

What is the difference between highlights and balayage?

Accepted Answer

Highlights use foils to create uniform, consistent lightening from root to tip. Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates a more natural, sun-kissed effect with softer regrowth lines. Balayage typically requires less maintenance than traditional highlights.

Question 17

How long does a Brazilian Blowout last?

Accepted Answer

A Brazilian Blowout typically lasts 3-4 months, gradually fading with each wash. The treatment smooths frizz, adds shine, and reduces styling time. It works on all hair types and can be customized to your desired level of smoothness.

Question 18

Do you offer hair extensions?

Accepted Answer

We offer professional hair extension services including tape-ins and various other methods. Extensions require a consultation to assess your hair and discuss the best option for achieving your desired look.

Question 19

Can I get multiple services in one appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Many clients combine services like color and cut, or highlights with a Brazilian Blowout. When booking, let us know all the services you want so we can allocate appropriate time and provide accurate pricing.

Question 20

Is parking available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have convenient free parking available directly in front of our salon at 9922 Walker Street in Cypress.

Question 21

Are children welcome?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we welcome clients of all ages! We offer children's haircuts and strive to make the experience fun and comfortable for younger clients.

Question 22

Do you accept walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

While we welcome walk-ins when availability allows, we strongly recommend booking an appointment to ensure you can see your preferred stylist at your desired time. Same-day appointments may be available by calling ahead.
