Question 1

Do I need a consultation?

Accepted Answer

I always recommend a consultation as they do help both yourself and myself understand what will happen during your appointment whether it's for a haircut, or hair color. To avoid any dissapointment or any miscommunication, I try my best to ask as many questions as possible during the consultation. I do not charge for them and want to make sure that you get what you want during any services I provide.
 
I provide online consultations via FaceTime/text/email to help make your experience a easy and better one.

Question 2

What are you doing to help keep clients safe during Covid-19?

Accepted Answer

I understand it is a difficult time right now with a pandemic. To help all my clients feel safe, these are the steps I take to keep everyone safe in my home studio:
All appointments are 1 on 1 to help limit exposure and spread. (Please only bring yourself to your appointment.)
When clients arrive, there will be hand sanitizer to use at the door. I also have a washroom for you to wash your hands before starting your appointment. 
Masks are now optional. If you would like me to wear a mask during your appointment, please let me know prior to your appointment.
I clean and sanitize after every client that enters my home studio.
If any clients are having any symptoms or feeling unwell, I ask that they kindly reschedule their appointments to a later date.

Question 3

What do you charge for a haircut/color?

Accepted Answer

My prices are listed here for haircuts. For colors, I recommend a consultation to help give a better estimate. Everyone's hair is different and because of that, it is difficult to give a base price. I charge color services by the hour.

Question 4

What methods of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

I accept cash, etransfer, debit and credit card. I do not accept AMEX or Cheques.

Question 5

How often should I come in for maintenance haircuts?

Accepted Answer

Everyone's hair is different and grows at different rates. It is on average that hair grows half an inch every month. It all comes down to how fresh do you want your hair to look.
 
I recommend for women's haircuts in between 4-8 weeks.
I recommend for men's haircuts in between 2-4 weeks.

Question 6

How often should I come in for color maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Everyone has different preferences. It depends on what service you normally get done.
 
For solid colors with no lightener, I recommend 4-6 weeks. If your hair grows faster, I would come in sooner than later.

For bleach/lightener and toning services, I recommend 4-5 weeks. If you wait too long to come in, I often have to double process the hair because there will be banding.

For toning/fashion colors/refreshing color, I recommend 4-6 weeks. This service is for those who love to keep their color as fresh and vibrant as possible. All toner fades overtime depending on home aftercare, water used to wash the hair, heat styling, etc.

Question 7

How long does it take for a color appointment?

Accepted Answer

Everyone's hair is different, therefore everyone's results can vary. It depends on how much hair you have, and how much product is needed during your appointment. That also determines how long your appointment will be. I always recommend coming in for a consultation. If you can't come in or wish to have a online consultation, I offer via FaceTime, text, phone call, or email consultations to help make things easier.
 
I always say you can't rush art. But at the same time, no one wants to sit for hours. I am meticulous and efficient while I work but if you want a faster stylist than me, I may not be the stylist for you and would be happy to refer you to someone else.
 
If you are limited on time, please let me know and we can figure out what will work better with your schedule. Please note that we may need to cut your hair appointment into multiple sessions as a result of time restrictions.

Question 8

Why does my hair color fade quick?

Accepted Answer

There are numerous factors as to why your hair color can fade more quickly. When you leave the salon, your hair color is still settling into your hair cuticle. It's important to wait at least 48 hours before washing your fresh color. I always recommend to my clients that they should wash their hair in luke cool/cold water for their first hair wash to help seal the hair cuticle so that the color won't fade as quick.
 
Hair color can also fade quick can depend on the aftercare after you leave the salon. Be sure to use the products recommended to you by your stylist. It requires work from both the client and stylist to ensure the best results for your hair. Be sure to ask questions if you are unsure on any hair care.
 
Fading can also depend on what type of hair service was done. If you recently lightened the hair, your hair will become more porous as you have had your hair striped of all of the melanin in the hair and it no longer has anything to hold onto color. When you lighten your hair, you create holes in the hair shaft and it's no longer able to hold onto color. So you may notice why with blonde/fashion color hair clients, it's recommended that they should come in within 4-6 weeks to refresh their colors.

Question 9

Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please only bring yourself to your appointment.

Question 10

Can I bring food to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

For short appointments less than 2 hours, I recommend eating before or after your appointment.
 
If you have a long appointment over 4 hours (such as a color correction) I allow my clients to bring food as you will be spending a few hours in my chair. I leave the room and allow you to have some privacy.
 
Water is provided upon request or you may bring your own bottle of water.
 
If you are unsure, be sure to raise this concern to me when booking your appointment.
