Ready for your best hair ever?

• Masks & Sanitizer: Everyone will be required to wear a mask with ear loops (I can provide a loaner mask if you do not have one)

• ​Schedule Adjustments: To allow proper "social distance" requirements, I personally will be changing my workdays to Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. (opposite days from Angela) 

• Appointment Spacing: I will need to schedule 20-30 minutes between all appointments for proper cleaning and to ensure that there are not 2 clients in the salon with me at any time.

• Service Offerings:
  Full-service & Dry Shaping cuts.
  
  • all clients must arrive with hair fully prepared for a dry cut--fully set without sticky, wavy, or oily products--Gels and Foams are fine and products in accordance with my coaching are also fine. (no greasy, waxy, stiff, or sticky products, please. Make sure your hair is can be manipulated.
  • All hair must be fully dry, styled down with no clips, bands, or pins.

• Pricing & Tipping:
  I have altered my pricing structure slightly due to these new guidelines and have disabled "tipping". 

• Rescheduling:
  In the event that the salon is closed once again due to Covid, appointments will all be canceled and deposits will be refunded. Canceled clients will have first priority in booking when the salons reopen.

• Follow-up Appointments: 
  • all appointments will be booked online one month in advance. 
  • I will be blocking my schedule monthly--one month at a time.
    • Scheduling will proceed via emailed booking link starting the 1st of each month for the following month
    • New clients who complete the Wash Day Blueprint will get access the following month after they enroll. 

• New Clients will be required to enroll in my online coaching workshops to learn how to properly set their hair before dry cut appointments.
  • I suggest completing the workshops at least 30 days before your scheduled appointment (I typically require new clients to go through 1-2 full-service coaching sessions with me before graduating them to Dry Shaping Cuts, but these crazy times call for crazy measures. lol.)
  • this option is actually more cost-effective and you get access to refresher material on demand. 

• ​Online Curl Workshops: During this shelter in place, I have been working on my online coaching programs and I am very excited to share them with you.
  • ​New clients will be required to complete the online workshops prior to working with me in the salon,
  • Existing clients--I welcome you to go through these workshops too! Many of you have asked for a refresher course and "what to do" videos and this is your chance! email me for a returning client workshop discount.

• Products: 
  • Products can be ordered through my "shop hair products " tab at the top of the page. 
  • Salon Pickups are available any day the salon is open. If you are unsure if we are open, send me a message to check for the next pickup date. 

• Virtual Coaching Sessions & Consultations; (paused) I offered virtual consultations and coaching sessions--during the covid salon closures. They are perfect for helping you troubleshoot any hair issues you are currently experiencing, product choice, application, or drying... or whatever you need. 

If you are wanting to embrace your natural hair texture (be it S'Wavy, Wavy, Curly, Coily, and Bendy in any way... and wear your hair in its natural state 90% of the time, then this might be the place for you! Why? I won't pull out "thinning shears" or Irons to falsely manipulate your hair nor will I ever say anything negative about your natural texture. In ANY way. I celebrate YOU.... and I ask that you begin to do the same.  

I am happy to alter a cut if it is not quite right--sometimes curly hair behaves differently at home or an odd curl or two may need to be adjusted. However, please be sure to notify me within 7 days of the date of your service (the sooner the better). I will do my best to accommodate getting you back into the studio as quickly as possible for the alternation.

All appointments are scheduled online and require a 50% deposit. Any cancellations or modifications to your appointment time must be made at least 48 hours or you will forfeit your deposit. 

That said, I have a WONDERFUL clientele who, for the most part, understand how hard it can be to get in. to see me and are usually willing to swap an appointment... just give me 4-5 days to attempt a swap. 

At The Cultivated Curl we want to celebrate great hair, so we ask that all clients agree to our photo release of capturing your before and after hair and allowing us to use it on our site, social media platforms, marketing purposes at our discretion. Please let me know if you would prefer to keep your face hidden, I am happy to honor your request.

I work in a very small studio suite with no additional room for guests who are not receiving services. Please make arrangements for childcare or reschedule your appointment. In addition to this normal policy, due to Coronavirus social distancing, only one person is allowed in the studio per appointment.

The Cultivated Curl is now a "Tip Free" salon.

Tipping has been a customary part of the salon industry for as long as I know...however, it's almost always awkward. So I made it go away. 

 Tip-Free begins August 2021. If you REALLY feel like leaving a tip... send me a Starbucks card online to my email. Yeah. That would be cool. No pressure.

Seriously.
