FAQ

Good questions, real answers.

Booking, patch tests, how long color takes, keeping it fresh, our nail sanitation, the cancellation policy, and bridal timing.

Booking
  • Book any time through the booking dock at the bottom of the site — pick a service, choose a stylist, and grab a time. Walk-ins are welcome for nails and bang trims by availability; cuts, color, and events are by appointment so we can give you the full chair time.

Color
  • Yes — for any first-time lightening or tint service we require a patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment. It takes two minutes in the salon and protects you against an allergic reaction. Returning color guests are already on file.

  • Plan for 2–4 hours depending on your length, density, and how big a change you want. Balayage and full highlights are on the longer end; a gloss or toner refresh is about 45 minutes. We’ll give you an exact estimate at your consult.

  • Balayage is designed for a soft grow-out, so most guests come in every 8–12 weeks, with a quick gloss refresh in between. We’ll send you home with the right sulfate-free shampoo and an at-home gloss so it stays glossy in the Miami sun.

  • Often, yes. Color corrections start with a consultation so we can assess your hair’s health and set realistic expectations — sometimes it’s one visit, sometimes a few. Priya, our color-correction pro, will walk you through the plan and pricing before anything happens.

Policies
  • Plans change — cancel or move your appointment free up to 24 hours ahead. Within 24 hours, a 50% service fee applies; a no-show is charged in full. If you’re running more than 15 minutes late we may need to adjust or reschedule your service so the next guest isn’t affected.

Nails
  • Every guest gets a single-use file and buffer, and all metal tools are hospital-grade sterilised between clients. Pedicure bowls are sanitised after every use. We are an MMA-free, low-tox studio and use vegan, 10-free polishes.

Skin
  • For brow or lash tinting we patch-test first-time guests 48 hours ahead, the same as color. For facials and waxing we’ll go over any sensitivities, medications, or recent treatments at check-in and adjust products to keep your skin calm.

Bridal
  • For weddings and big events, reach out 2–3 months ahead so we can schedule a trial and hold your date. A deposit secures day-of styling for you and your party; the rest is due the day of. We can come on-site or host you in the salon.
