Start Confidently with a Personalized Consultations Visit
Not sure where to start? A consultation visit gives you and your child a low-pressure introduction to the salon before any hair is cut. It's a chance to meet the stylist, see the space, and talk through goals, preferences, and any sensory needs. It's especially helpful for nervous children and first-haircut milestones, though most clients can book a regular service directly.

Consultations and Appointment Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about consultation visits, booking, and what to expect.
During a consultation you’ll meet your stylist, tour the salon, and discuss hair goals, preferences, and any sensory needs. The stylist will assess hair type, suggest options, and outline a plan and timeline. No cutting is required unless you choose to proceed.
Most clients can book regular services directly, but consultations are ideal for first haircuts, major changes, or nervous children. If you’re unsure about color, perms, or special accommodations, a consultation helps ensure a smoother, customized service when you return for the appointment.
Consultations usually last 15–30 minutes, depending on questions and hair assessment. Color or perm consultations may take a bit longer to discuss history and desired results. We schedule enough time to listen carefully and make a clear plan without rushing.
Yes. We prioritize sensory-friendly options—quiet appointment times, sensory tools, weighted capes, and scent-free products are available. Tell us about specific needs when booking so we can prepare the space and staff, ensuring the consultation is comfortable and low-pressure.
Some consultations are complimentary, while specialized sessions like in-depth color or perm planning may carry a small fee. We’ll note any charge at booking. Fees are typically applied toward the final service if you proceed within a specified timeframe.
Book online, call, or stop by the salon and choose 'Consultation' or 'New Client Meet & Greet.' Tell us your child’s age, sensory needs, and any milestones like a first haircut so we can assign the right stylist and time.
