Question 1

Do Silk Presses cause heat damage?

Answer

No. When implemented correctly, silk presses do not cause any damage to one's natural hair texture. By using a number of different techniques, we ensure that no damage is done as a result of our silk press services.

Question 2

I'm relaxed; am I able to book a Silk Press?

Answer

Yes. Although we specialize in natural hair care services, we accept clients with relaxed hair. Note: Relacxer services are not provided by The Slay Experience.

I would like to add a treatment to my service, which treatment is best?

Answer

The Slay Experience offers a number of treatments including a protein treatment, detoxifying scalp treatment, intense moisturizing treatment, etc. However, the needs of every client differ depending on the current state of their hair. To learn which treatment will best meet your needs, please contact us directly. Private in-person consulations are available for First-Time Clients and may be booked online.

Question 4

Do you offer color services?

Answer

The Slay Experience is a chemical free zone and therefore, does not offer color services to clients at this time.

Are the openings listed on the booking site up to date?

Answer

Yes! Available dates and times on our booking site are automatically updated as clients book their appointment. If a date/time is not showing up on the booking site, it is not available. When the monthly calendar says "no appointments are available this month", this means that the month is already booked or has not opened yet.

Are you accepting new clients?

Answer

Yes. The Slay Experience is currently accepting new clients. All new clients MUST book a service under "First-Time Client Services". This enables me to effectively cater to your hair care needs. Note: If you have not received a service from me in over 8 months, you are considered a new client.

BOOKING POLICY

Answer

After booking your appointment, please read over the confirmation email in its entirety. Confirmation emails contain important information regarding your appointment such as the address, preparation instructions, arrival instructions, etc.

Listed prices on our booking site are starting prices for services. Please be aware that there is a possibility that the service price may increase depending on your hair type and hair care needs.

After 15 minutes, the appointment will automatically be cancelled and the client will need to reschedule their Slay Experience as well as pay the late cancellation fee of 50% of the remaining balance. Note: Clients must have entered the studio within the 10 minute grace period to avoid a late fee being applied. Please note that the above policy is for clients who have communicated their reason for tardiness. No shows will be responsible for paying 100% of their remaining balance.

RESCHEDULING POLICY

Answer

Clients may reschedule their Slay Experience using the same booking fee one time after booking their original appointment. If the client must reschedule a second time, they must submit a new booking fee to secure their appointment.
