Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy my own hair?

We don’t carry an extensive inventory of hair, so clients have to purchase their own. But we’ve created this guide if you need recommendations.

What age is this service for?

This service is for children ages 3–12. It’s best if your child is used to sitting for at least a couple hours.

How long does the install take?

Timing depends on the length and size, but most installs take 2–4 hours.

How should I prep my child’s hair?

Please make sure their hair is clean, dry, and detangled before the appointment. If you’d prefer for our stylist to detangle and dry your child’s hair, you can book that as an add-on, during the booking process.
