Frequently Asked Questions

How long do gel nails last?

Gel manicures typically last 2-3 weeks without chipping when properly applied and maintained. Gel pedicures can last even longer, up to 3-4 weeks, since toenails grow slower and experience less wear. To maximize longevity, avoid prolonged water exposure, use cuticle oil daily, and wear gloves when cleaning. We recommend scheduling your next appointment before significant outgrowth occurs.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes, we welcome walk-ins based on availability! However, we highly recommend booking an appointment in advance to guarantee your preferred time slot and technician. Peak times like weekends, evenings, and lunch hours tend to fill up quickly. You can book online through our website, call us at (281) 398-5000, or stop by the salon. Walk-in wait times vary depending on the day and service requested.

What hair color brands do you use?

We use premium, professional-grade hair color brands that deliver beautiful, long-lasting results while maintaining hair health. Our salon carries trusted brands known for their rich pigmentation, fade resistance, and conditioning properties. All our color products are ammonia-free or low-ammonia options. During your consultation, your colorist will recommend the best formula for your hair type, desired look, and maintenance preferences.

How often should I get a facial?

For optimal skin health, we recommend getting a professional facial every 4-6 weeks. This aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle of approximately 28 days. If you’re addressing specific concerns like acne or anti-aging, monthly facials can accelerate results. For maintenance and general skin health, every 6-8 weeks works well. Your esthetician will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.

Is waxing painful?

Waxing involves some discomfort, but most clients find it very tolerable and quick. The sensation is brief – lasting only seconds per area. Pain levels vary by individual tolerance, area being waxed, and hair thickness. Facial waxing (eyebrows, upper lip, chin) is generally less uncomfortable than body waxing. First-time waxing may be slightly more sensitive, but it gets easier with regular appointments as hair grows back finer. Our experienced technicians use high-quality wax and proper techniques to minimize discomfort. We recommend avoiding caffeine before your appointment and taking an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes prior if you’re concerned.

How long does a haircut appointment take?

A standard women’s haircut typically takes 45–60 minutes, including consultation, shampooing, cutting, and styling. Men’s haircuts are usually 30-45 minutes. If you’re adding color services, plan for an additional 1-3 hours depending on the technique (highlights take longer than root touch-ups). Special occasion styling, like updos, can take 60 to 90 minutes. During booking, let us know all desired services so we can allocate appropriate time and ensure you’re not rushed.

Can I bring photos of nail designs or hairstyles I like?

Absolutely! We encourage you to bring inspiration photos. Photos help us understand your vision and ensure we’re on the same page before starting. Whether it’s nail art designs, hair colors, or cut styles you found on Pinterest or Instagram, showing us examples makes the consultation process much more effective. Our stylists and nail technicians can then provide honest feedback about what’s achievable with your hair or nail type and offer modifications if needed.

Do you sanitize tools between clients?

Yes, absolutely. Your health and safety are our top priority. We follow strict sanitation and sterilization protocols that meet or exceed industry standards. All metal tools are thoroughly cleaned and placed in a medical-grade autoclave sterilizer between each client. Single-use items like nail files and buffers are disposed of after each use. We use clean towels and capes for every service, and all surfaces are disinfected throughout the day. You can always see our sanitation practices in action. We’re proud of our clean, safe environment.
