How we do it
Transparent Hourly Pricing
Each stylist sets their own hourly rate, and you pay for the time you booked or were quoted upfront. No hidden fees, no surprises.
One on One Appointments
Your stylist is with you from start to finish. No overlapping appointments, no handing you off to an assistant, just your time and their full attention.
No Tipping
Our stylists are paid fairly for their work, so gratuity is never expected. The price you see is the price you pay.
Great Hair
Each stylist brings their own background and expertise. What we share is a commitment to ongoing education in the latest techniques and trends.
