Here's exactly how a private suite appointment works
Pull into our parking lot. Dedicated spots near Carla's private entrance.
Send a quick text: "We're here!" Stay in your car where your child is comfortable.
Carla sets up the suite exactly how your child likes it.
You'll receive a text: "All ready! Come on in through the private door."
Walk straight from car to suite. No waiting room. No surprises.
Leave directly through the same door. Back to your car in seconds.
Total exposure to unfamiliar environments: Minimal
Control over the experience: Maximum
For families comfortable with a traditional salon environment, or when siblings need haircuts too, our main salon offers a fun, kid-friendly experience.
