i–vi The Services

i.

Traditional blowout

The blowout is one of the services our clients mention most, and it's easy to see why. After a shampoo and conditioning, your stylist works section by section with a round brush and dryer, smoothing the hair from root to end until it's full, soft and polished. It's the finish you want for a work week, an event or simply a weekend when you'd like to feel put together. Tell your stylist whether you want body and bounce or something sleeker, and how you plan to wear it in the days after.

ii.

Silk press

A silk press gives naturally curly or textured hair a sleek, straight finish with movement and shine — without a chemical relaxer. The hair is washed, deeply conditioned, blown out and then pressed in small sections for a smooth, swinging result. Because it's detailed work, a silk press takes longer than a standard blowout, so give yourself time on the day of your visit. Talk with your stylist about your hair's condition and your usual routine, so the finish suits your hair and lasts as long as possible.

iii.

Highlights & toner

Highlights add brightness and dimension, and toner fine-tunes the shade so the color looks intentional rather than brassy. One of our reviewers came in for exactly this and wrote that her stylist took her time and left her very satisfied with the results. Bring a photo of what you're hoping for, tell us about any color already in your hair, and we'll talk through what's realistic in one visit. Color appointments are among the longest on the menu, so plan your day with that in mind.

iv.

Cuts & trims

A good cut is the foundation every other style sits on. Whether you want a new shape or just a trim to clean up the ends, your stylist will look at how your hair falls, how you wear it day to day and how much length you're willing to lose. Regular trims keep split ends from traveling up the hair shaft, which matters even more if you blow out, press or color often. Trims also pair well with a blowout or a conditioning treatment in the same visit, so ask when you call.

v.

Shampoo & deep conditioning

Healthy hair holds a style better, and conditioning is how we get it there. Styling visits begin with a proper shampoo and conditioning, and clients who want extra care can ask for a deep conditioning treatment, which gives dry, heat-styled or color-treated hair time to soak in moisture before styling. It's a good habit before a silk press or blowout, and a welcome reset after a summer of sun or a winter of dry indoor heat. Ask your stylist whether a deep treatment makes sense for your hair right now.

vi.

Manicure & pedicure

While you're here, finish the look with hands and feet. Clients have come in for a manicure and pedicure alongside their hair, which makes a salon visit feel like a proper afternoon of being looked after. A manicure shapes, tidies and polishes your nails; a pedicure does the same for your feet, with time to soak and relax first. Call ahead to let us know you'd like nails done as well as hair, so we can plan your visit and you can ask about pricing before you come.
