Arrive as you are. To ensure an exceptional color experience, we kindly ask that you arrive with your hair in its most natural, product-free state. Please refrain from using styling products, gels, edge control, or heavy leave-in conditioners prior to your appointment.

Detangled, please. If you are arriving following the removal of braids or another protective style, it is essential that your hair be thoroughly detangled and completely free of knots, mats, or tangles from root to tip. This allows us to work with care and precision, without compromising your time or your results.

Freshly cleansed hair. For those transitioning from a protective style, your hair must be freshly shampooed before your visit. A clean canvas is key to achieving consistent color absorption and luminous, lasting results.

Taking these thoughtful steps ensures we can dedicate every moment to your transformation—seamlessly, efficiently, and luxuriously. Should you have any questions ahead of your appointment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

We know that life can be unpredictable, and delays happen. However, if you find yourself running late for your appointment, please understand that we may not be able to accommodate your service as originally scheduled.

While we will always do our best to fit you in, availability is subject to your stylist’s schedule and the nature of the service booked. In some cases, your appointment may need to be shortened, adjusted, or rescheduled to avoid impacting other guests’ experiences.

To assist us in accommodating you as smoothly as possible, we kindly ask that you contact the salon directly or send a text to 202-743-4509 at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your understanding, and for respecting the time of our team and fellow guests.

We do not accept checks, American Express, or Discover cards.

Tips cannot be added at checkout and must be given directly to your service provider.
