Consultation and client preparation
Before the chair, we start with a consultation to confirm your desired look, parting, hairline and lifestyle needs. We also verify that the service is for a full lace unit only, and schedule timing that suits commuters from Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood or Brookland-CUA Metro stations with flexible early-morning or evening options.
In preparation we inspect your unit and natural hair, discuss any necessary adjustments, and outline the steps for achieving a flat, blended edge. This planning phase establishes the fit and the finish targets so the stylist can allocate the full 240 minutes needed to complete the install and customization without rushing.
Customization and hairline refinement process
Customization begins with careful shaping of the full lace unit so it matches your hairline, part choice, and desired density. The stylist makes measured alterations—trimming, contouring, and setting the part—while keeping the unit's structure intact, ensuring changes are reversible where possible and aligned with the look you requested during consultation.
Hairline refinement focuses on how the lace sits against your skin and how the hair frames your face. The stylist evaluates edge blending and part placement, then finalizes the hairline so the unit lays flat and reads as natural hair from close range and normal daily movement, mindful of humid Washington summers.
Placement, secure fit and finish
Placement and securement aim to make the unit comfortable for everyday life while keeping it discreet. The team focuses on smooth edges, even tension across the cap, and a final check of part alignment and hair direction so the unit blends with your natural growth pattern and moves naturally during normal activities.
The final stage includes styling, a wearability review, and personalized aftercare guidance to help maintain the result between visits. Expect the full appointment to take about 240 minutes and be priced at $600; specific follow-up recommendations and maintenance timelines will be provided during checkout and after a practical wear assessment.
