—> All bookings are made through text. I prefer to have a conversation beforehand to discuss the style you’d prefer and the brand of hair you’ll bring. Text your name, the type of install you’d like, the type of hair you’d bring & the date + time you’d like.
—> As much as I would love to be able to take care of your natural hair, I am not able to do so yet. Please come thoroughly washed and blow-dried. Your hair will be braided down with moisturizer as well as oiled before any cap is applied.
—> My availability is very limited. I do not offer squeeze-ins. If you don’t see an available time, I am not available.
—> For layers and a full install, please bring 3-4 bundles of the same length. This allows fullness and room to cut. Bundles naturally thin out towards the ends. Staggered lengths cause gaps, making it easier to lose length and thin out the install.
[ie: 24’ 24’ 24’ 24’ or 22’ 22’ 24’ 24’]
—> I prefer straight bundles for a layered and curled style. It helps with uniformity, although you are free to bring whichever curl pattern you’d like. If bringing deep wave, you must condition and detangle your bundles beforehand.
—> You cannot achieve a seamless and flowy install with cheap hair. I do not work with low-quality hair at all. No Amazon, TikTok, or cheap Chinese vendor bundles (such as Loxx & BUW or Ashine & Wequeen etc). Certain pack hair is accepted. See hair requirements below. Brand of hair must be verified before deposit is sent.
—> FLIPOVERS: You must have full edges to be able to cover the tracks when the hair “flips.” This is not a minimal leave-out style, the way a curly flipover may be. Leaving too little out does not allow a natural flow of the install, and it creates an unattractive look as if the weave starts too close to your hairline. All other installs are minimal leave-out.
—> I specialize in layering and curling.This is my niche and my passion. I do not do curly installs, nor do I work with any type of lace. I also do not install half-wigs.
—> I take my time with each client. I will not rush under any circumstances to preserve the integrity of what I promise to deliver. I am also a home-based stylist. Free parking is located on the side of my house. You will receive the address and instructions immediately after the deposit is sent.
—> Located near Washington Park.
—> Recurls are $40, must bring a box of clips.
—> A $15 deposit is required for all bookings.
