You'll receive guidance on timing, product use, and follow-up care before the work begins. For select services, complimentary maintenance appointments are included to ensure your style stays strong and your scalp stays balanced.

Wonderful experience for my first appointment with Anita yesterday The salon is welcoming and peaceful. During our initial consultation a few weeks prior, she told me what styles would work best for my texture, and she was right. I love my natural coils. Anita also educates on the dos and don'ts and how to care for my hair. I have found my new hair home.
