What the session includes
Our detangling sessions focus on gentle, patient work with children who have knots, tangles, or matted hair. We use kid-safe products and a calm, step-by-step approach to reduce stress and make the process as smooth and tear-free as possible. The stylist adapts pacing to each child’s comfort, prioritizing breaks and reassurance when needed.
Appointments are scheduled for 60 minutes and listed at $60, with final pricing varying by hair length and tangle level. At the start of the appointment the stylist assesses the hair condition and discusses options with the parent or guardian, setting realistic expectations about time and any follow-up care needed for daily detangling at home.
Handling different tangle levels
Not all tangles are the same: severity shapes technique, time and the child's tolerance. The stylist evaluates whether gentle combing can restore smoothness within the 60-minute session or whether the process will need to be paused and continued later. This assessment helps avoid rushing, and explains how severity affects both duration and final price when hair length increases effort.
Because our approach prioritizes calm and patience, stylists build in breaks and simple reassurance to keep the session tear-free. We rely on kid-safe products and a low-stress pace rather than forceful pulling; parents or guardians are welcome to be present for comfort and communication about home care steps after the session.
