+ SALON POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Policies and procedures are agreed upon booking an appointment online. Upon scheduling your appointment, you have agreed to our Salon Policies by checking the boxes. All clients are responsible for reading all salon policies and procedures detailed on this page. If you have any further questions, please email us at info@thecurlsuite.net.

+ How do I prep my hair for my appointment?

Hair prep instructions are included in the appointment confirmation and reminder emails.

IF YOU ARE GETTING A CUT: A STYLED WASH AND GO THAT IS 1-4 DAYS OLD IS BEST. Please make sure your hair is detangled, styled and dry with a moderate amount of product in it to define your curls. Your hair should be styled, displaying its natural curl pattern but without excessive product build up. Please do not come with dirty hair. Your wash and go does not have to be perfect. Please just do your best. Using a FLAKE-FREE gel, styling foam or styling cream after cleansing and conditioning is best. Please DO NOT have any OILS or BUTTERS in your hair. Your curls should “hang loose”. Please do not have it braided, twisted, pulled, clipped or pinned back into a ponytail or bun. If you have to put your hair up to keep it detangled after styling, please take it down at least one hour prior to your appointment.

IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING A CUT: Please arrive with your HAIR DETANGLED. If you are coming out of a protective style (ie. braids, twists, weave), please remove all braids/twists and fully detangle your hair prior to your appointment. Hair that is EXTREMELY TANGLED is subject to a $40 DETANGLING FEE. If you have any questions regarding how to prepare your hair for your appointment, please email us at info@thecurlsuite.net.

+ I like to wear my hair straight sometimes. Is the Curly Cut for me?

This cut is specifically designed for clients who wear their hair curly. The style is not guaranteed to translate well if the hair is straightened. If you straighten your hair more than 3 times a year, this cut may not be for you.

+ I am not sure if I’m ready for a haircut. Should I just book an appointment anyway?

If you are unsure if you are ready for a cut, please email us at info@thecurlsuite.net to discuss your options.

+ I have heat/chemical damage that has ruined my curl pattern. Is there a service/product that will be able to bring my curls back?

There is no service or product that can bring back your curl pattern once the curls have been damaged by heat or chemicals. If you have heat/chemical damage that youare not ready to cut, this services offered at The Curl Suite are not for you just yet. Sheryl does not work with transitioning hair.

+ What is the salon's policy regarding adjustments made to haircut/hairstyle post service

We care about every single one of our client's experiences. During the consultation, there is a mutual agreement. Each step is explained thoroughly regarding what to expect. That mutual vision is discussed and confirmed with each client to deliver quality results within the framework of the service. Our salon works as a team to create the vision we see for our guests. If you are unhappy with your service and feel it needs an adjustment, we require you get in touch with us via email no more than 72 hours post service. It is crucial to reach back out as we want to fix anything that was not part of the mutual vision to make it technically sound and satisfactory to our client's needs. Are services are final sale.

THANK YOU! We look forward to seeing you soon!
