We have heard both sides of the tale, of the client can not be late, but the stylist sure can make you wait……It has been very hard to keep both sides satisfied In the salon profession, The stylists are not always made aware of hair conditions, processing may take longer than expected, or even having fragile hair. This is usually why a stylist may fall behind. We try to schedule extra time for chemical services, or treatments, but, not always will our estimated times be precise.</span> </p> <ul> <li class="level1"> <span style = "font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Please be sure to leave a contact number when making appointments, so we can call ahead to make appropriate changes for you, as we know your time is important as well.
