## Policies

### How to come
Clean, dry, product-free hair. I know it sounds fussy, but it's the difference between braids that sit beautifully for weeks and braids that slip in ten days.
- Wash it, dry it fully, and leave the products out — no oils, creams, grease or leave-in on the day.
- I'll blow-dry you out for free when you arrive. That part's on me. Coming clean is the part I need from you.
- I can't braid on dirty or product-heavy hair. If you arrive that way I have to cancel, and the retainer stays with me.
- Hair needs to be around 4–6 inches to hold the style you're asking for.

### Holding your date
A $50 retainer is what turns a date you like into a date that's yours. Until it lands, the slot is still open to everyone else.
- Nothing is confirmed until the retainer arrives — I'll message you the moment it does.
- I hold a requested date for 6 hours. After that it goes back up automatically.
- The retainer isn't refundable and can't be moved to someone else.
- If you cancel, the retainer stays with me. That's what it's there for.
- Rescheduling means a new retainer for the new date.
- The rest is cash, paid on the day.

### If plans change
I get it, life happens. But a late cancellation is a chair I can't fill, and a day I turned other people away for.
- Cancel within 48 hours and the retainer stays with me.
- Same-day cancellation, same thing.
- If you don't show at all, I may ask for the full amount upfront next time.
- Real emergencies are real. Talk to me.

### Running late
Braiding takes hours. If you start late, everyone booked after you finishes late.
- $5 for every 15 minutes past your time.
- Thirty minutes with no word from you and I have to release the slot — retainer stays with me.
- If lateness becomes a habit I may shorten the style or turn the appointment down.

### Be honest about your hair
Not every style suits every head of hair, and I'd rather tell you that now than have you sitting in my chair disappointed.
- Tell me about breakage, thin edges, thinning, bald patches, uneven length or a sore scalp. None of it is embarrassing — it just changes what I'd recommend.
- I might ask for a photo before I confirm.
- If something turns up on the day that I didn't know about, I may need to change the style, charge more, or decline the service.
- If I can't go ahead because of something undisclosed, the retainer still stays with me.
I'd rather send you home with honest advice than braids that damage your hair. That's the whole reason I do this.
