Hair Wash & Prep Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our wash, conditioning, and blow-dry services.
Our basic Hair Wash includes consultation, deep-shampooing with product matched to your hair, targeted conditioning, scalp massage, detangling as needed, and a light towel dry. Upgrade to Wash + blow dry adds professional blow-dry styling and thermal protection for finished looks.
Yes—our stylists specialize in washing locs and braids carefully. We use gentle techniques to remove buildup without unraveling or loosening, apply moisture where needed, and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue that can cause itching or odor.
A Hair Wash alone is usually 30 to 45 minutes depending on hair length and buildup. Wash + blow dry typically takes 60 to 90 minutes to allow for conditioning, careful detangling, and low-heat blow-drying.
