Frequently Asked Questions


​
Should I wash my hair before coming in for my appointment?
Understand that the approach to hair care and preparation before a salon appointment can vary from stylist to stylist is essential. In my case, I generally don't recommend clients washing their hair beforehand. The reason behind this pertains to safety. When you're getting color or bleach treatments, your hair and skin's natural oils play a crucial role in protecting you from the potentially harsh chemicals involved.

However, if you've been camping for a week and bathing in a lake, please feel free to shower and wash your hair before your appointment. We will find a way to make it work.

How much will it cost?
Short answer: Everyone’s hair is different and so are the prices. What a full foil is for one, probably won’t be the same for someone else.

Professional long answer: The prices you see on our website or any other platform are typically average figures. It's important to note that the actual cost of your hair service can vary significantly based on your unique hair needs. We understand that one size does not fit all in the world of hair care.

In certain cases, I charge by the hour, and in some cases, I may add a toner or strengthening treatment. These situations require specialized products, and the price can vary from appointment to appointment as well as from person to person.

I want to assure you that I am not a psychic, and I cannot predict how the cutting-edge chemical makeup in our products will react to any YouTube trend your toddler may have performed on your hair. However, I am dedicated to providing the best care for your unique hair situation.

It's worth noting that prices can change at times, especially during the summer months and holiday seasons. Factors like swimming, sun exposure, travel, and stress can all affect your hair's health, and addressing these changes may involve different services and products.

If you prefer a detailed, itemized price list, please don't hesitate to communicate this with me. I want to ensure that you receive the best care for your unique hair situation, and I am more than happy to provide you with the information you need.
What kind of shampoo should I be using?
The hair and skincare industry is a massive $100 billion-dollar industry that heavily invests in research and development. This ensures that the products you use on your hair and skin are not only safe but also effective. As seasoned professionals, we have tried and tested a wide array of hair care products, and we only endorse those that truly work.

Superior products, often labeled as clean and vegan, are enriched with beneficial ingredients such as Keratin and Bromelain. These ingredients are crucial for maintaining optimal hair health. Unlike lower quality alternatives, these superior products do not contain the same preservatives that can be harmful to your hair.

It's important to be cautious when purchasing hair care products from sources other than your trusted stylist or salon. If you buy a product with identical packaging and labeling from eBay or Amazon, there's no guarantee that the bottles haven't been sitting in a warehouse for an extended period. This can cause the active ingredients to lose their potency, turning acidic and potentially causing damage to your hair. Whatever product your hair professional recommends, be sure to procure it from a source that can validate its expiration and authenticity.

To learn more about the risks associated with buying hair and skincare products from unreliable sources, I recommend reading the article featured on ConsumerAffairs.com. It provides valuable insights into the potential dangers of using knock-off products.
​ Am example of such is as follows:
" 
ConsumerAffairs.com purchased the following:


• A 10.58-ounce bottle of Redken Guts 10 volume spray foam for $30.99;
• A 16.9-ounce bottle of Matrix Biolage normalizing shampoo for $26.99;
• An 8.5-ounce bottle of Paul Mitchell light-hold finishing spray for $20.49.
We discovered these same products would have cost much less at a professional salon.
"Our retail price for that finishing spray is $17.50," says Paul Mitchell's Bresnahan. "You just paid $2.99 more than retail for a product that is diverted.
"When consumers go into Target they think they're getting a product that is cheaper," she adds. "But they're not. And not only are the products not cheaper, they may not be the real thing."
Having been trained by California's finest, I am fluent in the award winning silk and keratin based Pravana - Chromasilk ​color line as well as Framesi of Milan Italy (seriously, they've been around since 1940) as well as Lanza Healing Haircolor - A California based company, this is my choice for Vegan hair restorative color. Other certifications I believe in for overall haircare as well as proactive damage prevention and reversal include Brazilian Blowout, as well as Keratin Complex, smoothing systems.

A central California native, I attended catholic school until Senior year. Mid August 2002 came quickly and I was stressed as I anticipated the move to Los Angeles. Finally, college - The freedom I'd craved.  Being away from the sweltering heat, parents, and the dust not unlike Jesus Christ was also omnipresent.  I hadn't been sleeping well as the excitement and nervousness had kept me awake leading up to my big day. One might assume that after 18 years of dreaming about this moment, I would have planned an extravagant celebration for my first day of college – a day of true independence. However, they would be wrong. I was so consumed by the logistics of the move to Los Angeles I failed to recognize the significance of this landmark day. It was something I had only witnessed others experiencing and now that it was my turn, it had completely slipped my mind.   So on the first day of class I woke up early, showered and got dressed only to take one look around campus to realize - I no longer had to wear a uniform. Khakis, Polo's and a brown belt is what I wore to my first day of freedom because that's all I owned. Going back to school shopping for clothes was not something with which I had been familiarized. While waiting for class to start I was asked only 4 times if I was the professor. Just this year I have decided to start branching out. You may be happy to know I now own gray slacks and a charcoal blazer to go with my jeans because I too am edgy.
