Eccentric Illusions Studio

What every client needs to know

I work by appointment only for hair extension services. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment you may have to reschedule or your wait may be longer than normal.
Please be courteous. I will not respond to any request regarding hair after business hours. If you are prone to hair emergencies then I recommend findng a stylist who is salaried and on call to assist you. If you are having problems with maintaning your hair then a weave many not be a good choice for you. I don't have a magical cure for your hair issues. You must learn to experiment with different products to find what works for you....do your research.
I will give options during your consultation, however, there are no shortcuts. Although I can create a great "illusion" I am not a magician. I can only do what I tell you I can do. Consultations are FREE but are limited to 10 minutes.
Remember, you will get what you pay for. If you choose to purchase the cheaper hair option it is possible that you will end up disappointed in the end. I'll give the pros and cons of each, but ultimately it is your decision. I will not make the decisions for you.
Allow 4 hours for a new install and 2 hours for a shampoo and style appointment. A rushed stylist will deliver a rushed job.
Closures can be added to an existing weave but they cannot be removed once installed on a new weave. Be sure a closure is what you want prior to the install.
All weaves feel tight at first. Usually it loosens after a few days. There is a difference between tightness and pain. All weaves itch a bit. The itching will come and go. If you are going to wear a weave you must recognize that there may be some slight discomforts associated with it.
I will not tolerate inconsiderate rude clients. I'm here to service you, but I will not be disrespected or talked down to. I adore a pleasant person and its my desire to have a beautiful client stylist relationship with you. Disagreements and misunderstandings can always be worked out rationally.
No children under the age of 12 are allowed in the salon unless being serviced. A salon should be a place of relaxation. Some children will sit quietly while others are a disturbance. If you are lacking childcare you must reschedule or cancel your appointment.
Contrary to popular beliefs, I am able to sew in wefts on any hair type. Frequent shampooing plays a huge part in the longevity of a sew in weave. Those who are used to shampooing everyday must learn the correct way to shampoo to avoid shortening the lifespan of the install. During your consultation I will explain how to properly care for your hair extensions.
Lace frontal application will be applied using my choice of adhesive. Body chemistry determines how long the adhesive will hold. Sweat and oil will soften the bond. It's possible that you may need a stronger adhesive. If this is the case you are responsible for purchasing your own adhesive. I will be happy to assist you with providing an alternative. (These applications require alot of maintenance.)
Please understand that I only guarantee the install. There is no way for me to control how the hair acts once installed. I do not warranty any hair because I am not a hair manufacturer. Deep condition treatments, hot oil and detangling rinses may help to tame your weave when experiencing problem. Purchase hair at your own risk. All hair purchases are final.
Pictures speak a thousand words. It's hard for me to understand a verbal description of a hairstyle. Without a picture you may end up with my idea of what you described and not yours.
You will be charged for additonal services such as adding tracks and hair cuts once you leave the salon. This simply means even if you return the same day you will be charged for the services, unless I tell you otherwise.
No wet sets are done on the same day of a new install.
There is an extra charge for taking down an install and reinstalling on the same day. (see pricelist)
If you are reusing hair from a previous install, the hair must be washed conditioned, detangled and dried when you arrive for your appointment. (see pricelist)
Biweekly maintenance appointments are recommended.
There is an extra charge for a sew in when the clients natural hair falls past the collar. (see pricelist)
If you are going to take down your own install, please, have it fully taken down washed and dried prior to your appointment. Showing up with a partial takedown and unwashed hair causes me to do extra work that was not taken into consideration when you scheduled your appointment. (see pricelist for takedown/shampoo)
