Practical Steps to Prepare for Your Appointment

Before you arrive, it's helpful to gather a few things. Bring along photos of styles you love; this helps us understand your vision. If you have favorite hair products, feel free to bring those too! Communicate your preferences clearly with your stylist; discussing what you want upfront ensures optimal results. We usually recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to fill out any forms and settle in.
