Estimates
We will give the most accurate range of cost when giving an estimate. An Estimate is an educated guess and not an agreed price.
-THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: *Some appointment times and costs are extended due to unforeseeable work involved. If we run into a situation that requires more than estimated, it will be discussed with you before continuing. In other words; we aren't going to run a bill up then blindside you with it at the end of the work. Sometimes we run into this situation as it can be hard to see all the issues beforehand. We will stop and talk to you about it and let you decide what to do. This applies to all of our work.
All work is subject to approval by Stylist upon evaluation in person at time of service.
Dread Maintenance
For planning purposes - Alow for 3 hours to go over entirely. Faster If an assistant is available.
-Please mention at start of appointment If needing to be done by a specific time

ATTN: Be aware that some of these services take more than one session and it's in your best interest that we thoroughly discuss to plan for scheduling. Therefore an Extended Consultation is required.
