LITTLE MOMENTS AT RIAH
BEFORE YOUR VISIT
All new color clients need to book a consultation first. We’ll review inspiration photos, your current hair health and products, and the appointment and timing needed. New haircut clients should book a consultation alongside their haircut. Hair extension consultations are also available.
Please respect that an appointment time has been reserved for you. We are looking to have clientele who understands we do not desire to have to rely on cancellation fees for clients to keep their appointment commitment.
We understand life happens and requires flexibility on both our parts. We do not charge cancellation fees unless it becomes a habit or frequent occurrence, where we will personally reach out to discuss the fee. Clients who consistently want to move appointment times/dates around on short notice (within a week of the scheduled appointment) may find we are not a good fit as our schedules are often booked out 2–4 weeks.
If you no-show no-call an appointment or display a habit of last minute cancelling a deposit will be required for any future booking.
Thank you for your support and if you have any specific timing needs/requests please reach out to see if they can be met.
We have a waitlist you can join online or personally request by texting (863) 658-6415. We’re happy to let waitlist clients know of last-minute openings. Please text about additional weekly head spa availability.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU
