What to expect
Reminders and Forms
We use Mangomint for booking and appointment management to keep everything seamless from the start. Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive your New Guest Intake Form. This is where we learn about your hair history and goals so we can begin building a plan that actually works for you before you even walk through the door.
​
About 48 hours before your appointment, you’ll receive a confirmation request via text or email. Then, 24 hours prior, you’ll get your Appointment Customization Form. This is your space to share updated inspiration photos, note any time constraints, and let us know exactly what you’re hoping for so we can show up fully prepared.
