Hallelujah, yes we can! We have a two waitlist – one for new guests and one for regular guests.

New Guest VIP List

We have a new guest waitlist which is also referred to as the New Guest VIP List. Sign up for email and/or text notifications on our New Client Booking Page.

New guests who have already been seen for their New Client Consultation may request to be placed on the Regular Guest Waitlist.

Regular Guest Waitlist

We also have a regular guest waitlist reserved for guests who need to reschedule due to illness or unforeseen circumstances. Life happens. It is our top priority to get loyal guests a rescheduled appointment as soon as possible!

• This is your chance to get to know us and our chance to get to know you. 
• If we are/are not a good fit for each other we narrow that down right away. 
• We want to see, touch, feel your hair and make any recommendations regarding how you can start preparing it BEFORE your appointment.  
• We reserve the right to decline services at any time, if we do not feel that we can serve you well as future client or if you are resistant to our professional advice/directions.

It varies with each stylist depending on their availability and the demand for their services. We encourage our returning guests to re-book at the end of each appointment. We maintain a VERY active Regular Guest Waitlist used exclusively for returning guests who may have gotten off cycle due to unforeseen circumstances.

For New Guests, you will be booked with Andrea about 2-4 weeks after your New Client Consult is complete. Consults are released the first week of each month but can be booked on a rolling basis if any remain unbooked after the monthly release. Andrea opens New Client Appointments for online booking the first week of every month. There are usually about 30+ people actively trying to book her 4 New Client openings each month. Those who sign up for the New Guest VIP List tend to respond and get in faster. If you have been trying to book for more than 3 months, please reach out to Parlour directly via email.

In short, rarely.

• Exceptions may be available for clients referred from other curl specialists within our network
• We reserve the right to require a consultation.
• Exceptions will not be made “because you have already had a curly dry cut at another salon” or because “you are already using [a particular brand of] professional hair products”.

An average of 2hr. This includes consult recap, dry cut, sink time, styling lesson time, and dryer time.

In general for any CURLY DRY CUT, we need to be able to get our hands through it in order to cut it. 

• For Wavy and Classic Curlies:
  • Clean, Day 1 or Day 2 curls that still have spring and are not overly stretched out are ideal. 
  • In general, please come to your consultation with your hair set/parted as you would normally wear it.
  • Curls need to be DRY, down, and the tightest version of the way you wear your curls.
  • Curls need to be free of any heavy products or oils. Light gel or cream is OK. 

• For Tight Curls, Coily, Tight Wavy, or Fractal (aka Kinky):
  • Day 2,3, or 4 curls are acceptable
  • Curls must be pre-detangled (not matted)... Why? Intensive sink detangling adds time, which in turn adds unnecessary price increases. 
  • Curls must be free of heavy oils & creams 

• Budget to purchase and take home some products, as we may make some recommendations at your consult and/or at your hair cut appointment.

We ask that you come prepares with clean, dry hair. A very light product application is OK.

For all hair types:
It is ideal to do a deep cleanse using a clarifying or “detoxifying” shampoo a day or 2 before you get a color. This will improve how long the color lasts.

For Curly Hair Getting Dimensional Color:
Shampoo as directed above.
WEAR YOUR HAIR styled curly or blown out based on the
way you predominantly want to wear your hair.

WHY?
Dimensional color placement (a variety of shades on the same head) is based on the movement and growth patterns of the hair. We want it to look it’s best when you
style. So, for example, if you want the look of melty, seamless highlights on blown-out waves, DO NOT come in with your tightest curls that day. In this example, you
would wear your hair somewhat smoothed out so we can properly place your color to look good on smoothed out hair.
