Booking & Consultations

Appointments

All services are by appointment only.

Same-day and after-hours appointments are available with an additional fee.

Travel services must be approved before booking to ensure availability.

All appointments must be booked under the name of whom is being serviced.

Booking multiple services for multiple people under one name, unless for an event, will cause your appointment to be cancelled at the full cancellation fee.

Appointments booked on StyleSeat.com/nicelocs will be honerd but the preferred booking site is nicelocs.as.me/

New & Transfer Clients / Consultations

All new or transfer clients are required to complete an in-person or virtual consultation for all services.

A form submission is an inquiry about services and does not replace the consultation.

Same-day consultations may be available if time allows, but must be scheduled with the service you are requesting.

This process helps us understand your hair history, goals, and any special care needs.

State board-required consultation questions will be asked; however, the notes remain confidential, and information is used solely to better cater to you during your hair service.

Existing clients must complete consultations for advanced care services, bridal, and event services.

⸻

Cancellations, No-Shows & Overlapping Appointments

Timeliness

A 15-minute grace period is given for late arrivals. Traffic can be a bit intense due to the downtown location, so this grace period works both ways.

After 15 minutes, your appointment is marked as a no-show, and a fee will apply. See policy about stylist cancellations for more information.

If you arrive after the grace period, the late fee will be charged.

Same-day rescheduling is treated as a late cancellation.

Failure to pay late/no-show fees may result in being blocked from booking.

No-Call / No-Show Policy

The fee is 100% of the cost of your service.

One no-call/no-show will result in being blocked from future bookings.

Communication is appreciated and helps maintain a respectful schedule.

Cancelations / Last Minute Appointments / Outside of Regular Hours

Cancelations are honoerd without a fee if cancelled at least 24 hours before the appointment start time.

Appointments made 24 hours or less than the appointment time will incur Last minute fee of $10.

Services must be completed within 1 hour after business hours close.

The outside of business hours fee is $30 and will be charged to any appointment started or completed outside of business hours.

Overlapping Appointments

Sometimes, services run over due to unexpected client needs. Your patience is appreciated.

You may be rescheduled later the same day or the next day, depending on availability, or asked to wait up to 15 minutes inside the building but outside the suite.

To maintain flow and space, you may also be asked to step aside so the next client can begin.

This is due to limited space, and late cancellations due to overlaps will still incur a fee.

Stylist Cancellations

At Nice Locs, we deeply respect your time and are committed to maintaining reliable scheduling. However, in the rare event that the stylist must cancel an appointment:

Cancellations only occur due to medical or personal emergencies.

In such cases, the appointment will be rescheduled to a later date based on mutual availability.

If the client chooses not to reschedule and cancels the service altogether, they will lose the deposit and incur the cancellation fee.

We appreciate your understanding when life happens. These policies ensure fairness for both client and stylist in every situation. As a thank you, a discount of $5 will be given for the inconvenience.

Stylist reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for behavioral reasons or hair health concerns (e.g., severe scalp conditions or head lice).

No guests or children are allowed due to limited space.

The stylist reserves the right to end a service at any time to protect the peace and professionalism of the environment.

A safety liability waiver will be requested tobe signed if you go against this policy.

The salon is not responsible for accidents if a child is brought in against policy, and you will be responsible for any damages they cause.

The salon is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items (like jewelry removed during a service or clothing stained by color if a gown was provided) or any parking tickets incurred due to improper parking.

Salon parking in the parking deck is free with registration of the license plate and is required to be re-registered every three hours. Salon is not responsible for this registration.

Wellness Policy

If you’re feeling unwell or have been exposed to illness, please reschedule.

Wearing a mask is permitted, but the stylist must be made aware of the need for the mask.

Mask wearing does not override illness, and it must be discussed with the stylist to keep the salon environment safe and disinfected.

The stylist reserves the right to refuse service if signs of illness are observed.

Help keep our space safe for all.

Hair Prep Policy

Please arrive with all previous styles fully taken down.

Avoid shampooing your hair before services, as it can cause dryness and irritation.

Any extensions not provided by the salon must be dropped off at the salon the day before.

Failure to do so may result in rescheduling or additional charges.

If hair is in need of deep cleaning or detox, please allow the salon to do this to avoid causing an unwanted reaction or improper completion.
