welcome to the salon

before your appointment

a few gentle details so your visit feels easy, calm, and completely about you.

things to do before your appointment

fill out your client forms

Every new service starts with a quick client form. Please fill yours out before your appointment so I have time to review it ahead of your visit, and we can spend our time together on you.

getting here

finding the front door

215 Baldwin St, West Springfield, MA 01089, right across from Memorial Middle School. Our building is home to five businesses, each with its own entrance, so here's exactly how to find the salon.

Can't find us? Call or text 413-654-0774 and I'll guide you in.

arriving on time

your time is reserved just for you.

Every appointment is planned with care, so arriving on time means you get the full experience you booked.

Permanent makeup appointments have a 15-minute grace period. Shorter services like waxing, brow shaping, lamination and lash lifts have a 5-minute grace period. After that, your service may need to be shortened or rescheduled, so every client gets the time they were promised.

Running behind? Call or text 413-654-0774 as soon as you can.

cancellations + changes

48-hour cancellation policy

You'll get a reminder text 72 hours before your appointment, so there's time to make changes if you need to.

48+ hours before

Cancel or change your appointment free of charge.

within 48 hours

Changes or cancellations within 48 hours may require forfeiting your deposit. That's 50% for most services and 20% for permanent makeup.

Life happens, and I always try to be understanding. If something comes up, reach out as soon as you can.

no-shows

if you miss your appointment

A missed appointment holds a spot another client could have had, so no-shows work a little differently.

consultations

A $50 fee is required before booking again.

services

The full service price is charged before booking again.

questions before you come in?

Appointment texts are sent from an automated system, so replies may not reach me right away. If you have a more immediate concern, call or text the salon directly at 413-654-0774. I'm happy to help.
