Appointments & TIME
Appointment fulfillment ensures optimizing a stylist’s time. Time is the largest factor in how we price services. We are flexible in most cases, but outside of bad weather or school cancellations, timely notification of cancellation is required.
Paperless Business
Our operating system is 3rd party managed for secure transactions. Receipts are emailed at checkout. Paper receipt may be requested. Each customer profile has a transaction history of services and products. Cancellations have preset reason codes before our system removes appointments and all transactions are time stamped. New client appointments are created with service notes. We record all services and transactions digitally for best practice and safe communications.
Digital Consent
In a “click the box to agree and continue” world, few read what it says above the box. By creating an appointment you’re consenting to our cancellation terms & privacy policies. We do not share or sell any information.
Privacy Policy
Payment & communication systems follow the Federal Privacy Act. This is a privately owned business, customer information is never sold or shared outside of the business. Privacy policy applies to information entered into this domain or into our operating system upon service creation. We are cyber secure and take protections against information misuse.

Fraud Prevention
New guests must use the card on file for the first service. Guests who plan to use a different card than one on file, please have the card preauthorized prior to service. If you plan to use a card that is not in your name, please have the cardholder call the business a minimum of 3 days prior to the date of service to authorize card use, otherwise we may deny service. Responsible payment processing is required for federal compliance.
Email & Text Communication From Us
Please manage digital communications and make sure emails are not spammed. When an appointment is made, a notification is sent. Two days prior to an appointment, a confirmation is sent. If an appointment is not confirmed, we will call. Without confirmation, we cancel. Please do not rely on text only notifications until you are familiar with our confirmation process.
- Appointment Notification- 1st Email Upon scheduling, you will receive an “appointment notification” email about the service. If you do not receive the email, please call or email the salon location so we can check your email for accuracy.
- Appointment Confirmation- 2nd Email Two days before your appointment email confirmation & text are sent. When clicking yes to confirm (by text or email) you are acknowledging consent to our policies of service terms.
Payment Questions or Disputes
We are human and no digital operating system is perfect. If you do not recognize a charge, please call. If you have a question after leaving, please check your emailed receipt & call us before disputing a charge. This is why we triple check your email accuracy. Problem solving is a strength of ours, but we cannot fix what we are unaware of. When you dispute a charge with a credit card company on something we could easily remedy, it forces us to deal with the card company versus you. Disputed charges may increase our card fees, which affects service costs.
No Service Refunds
We offer options to fit your budget and are happy to do small adjustment and will work with you but please read the page of the service you have booked, since all services are priced on skill, time & products used.
Fixing or changing color can take multiple processes. It’s important to keep your expectations on the same level you are willing to spend on your color service. The same goes for stylists. If you want master stylist level experience please do not book with an associate stylist. We go to great length describing stylists and services so that you may easily be informed.
Every detail is covered in how we work here and in person because we are an established color, cut & extension corrective salon. We our proud of our communication and customer service since we are hair fixers. And that is our general response to a refund demand.

Running Late
It happens. As a courtesy to the guest appointment after you, if you’re 20 or more minutes late, we will likely reschedule.
Maintenance haircuts are 45 minutes, so a shampoo, haircut & blow-dry in 20 minutes isn’t doable. We’ll will work with you but if you know you’re running behind, please call.
