What the service involves
Before removal we perform a focused assessment of your extensions and your natural hair to plan a careful removal that prioritizes your hair’s integrity. This assessment determines how much time the appointment will require and whether the removal can proceed as booked or needs extra time. Removing extensions applied elsewhere may add complexity and time.
Shampoo is not included with the K‑Tip removal and must be added as a separate service if you want cleansing or conditioning after the process. If previous extensions were applied by another stylist, expect possible additional fees or scheduling adjustments—the final price is determined by removal complexity, which we confirm during the initial assessment.
How complexity shapes pricing
The listed price for this service is $210 with an estimated duration of 105 minutes; that estimate is not an exact booking time. Complexity of attachment, how extensions were applied, and condition of natural hair all influence how long the removal actually takes. We provide a time estimate during check‑in and update you if more time will be required.
Removals performed by another provider often require extra attention because we must carefully work with unknown methods or materials. That can increase service time and may result in additional fees to cover the added complexity. We recommend allowing flexibility in your schedule, especially if you commute via Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland‑CUA Metro stations and need after‑work appointments.
Preparing and aftercare expectations
Because shampooing is a separate add‑on, decide before booking whether you want cleansing or conditioning included so we can allocate the correct appointment length. Bring notes about previous extension appointments—where and when they were applied—so we can anticipate any complications. Clear communication up front speeds the removal and reduces the chance of unexpected delays or additional fees.
Local climate in Washington—humid summers and cooler winters—affects post‑removal styling and care choices; we can discuss product and maintenance options during your visit. If you’re planning a weekend trip to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market, consider scheduling removals earlier in the day and adding shampoo to leave with freshly cleansed hair.
