Your Appointment

---

Your appointment at The Beloved Curl begins with you feeling welcomed as you are, who you are.

Therefore...

Although it can be helpful for me to see your curls in their freshly-cleansed, conditioned, detangled, and naturally styled state prior to the start of you appointment... sometimes life happens! If you've been in a bun, or have days worth of product in your curls... no worries at all.  Please come as you are.

Cut Appointments

1. I encourage you to bring any and all photo examples of what you are looking to do, even if it doesn't exactly match your curls or what think is possible.  It's always great to see what inspires you!
2. We will take plenty of time to consult and converse about you, your goals, your desires, and your needs.  If you think you need more time or would like to meet one on one prior to your service, I highly encourage you to book a cut consultation.  It can be a great way for you to "interview" me and see if we are both on the same page in terms of what you want and need.
3. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.  I am always here to answer!

Color Appointments

1. I encourage you to book an in-person color consultation prior to your color service if we have not worked together before.  This helps me see your curl fabric in real life, and talk in-depth about your color history, your desired color goals, as well as pricing.
2. It is recommended that you do not use a harsh clarifying shampoo the day of a color service.  However, having your scalp and curls freshly washed and conditioned with gentle yet thorough products is very helpful to a good color service, as the canvas is properly prepped for the process.  Minimal to no styling products (included leave-in conditioners) is preferred, but do not fret if this isn't possible!
3. Aftercare discussion will be part of your color service.  I will make recommendations that best serve not only the longevity of your color but the overall ongoing health and vitality of your curls.  
4. Beverages and small nibbles will always be available to nosh in the salon space, but feel free to bring food and drink if you have a longer service and want to be covered.

Therepeutic Appointments

1. Therapeutic services are designed to aid in ultimate calm, relaxation, restoration, and curl care.  If you have a special concern or request that will help make these services more comfortable for you, please let me know.
2. Allergies and skin/fragrance sensitivities will be covered, as many of the thereapeutic services involve the use of aromatherapy.  Fragrance free appointments (even down the detergent used to wash linens/towels) will always be an option.
3. If you prefer to not utilize any of the modalities offered (weighted blankets, aromatherapy, etc.), I will make sure your preference is noted.
