FAQs

Every first appointment starts with a consultation, where your stylist or esthetician asks about your history, your routine, any allergies or medical conditions, and what you actually want out of the visit. Arrive about ten minutes early so you have time without cutting into your service. Learn more about our salon story before you come in.

Book online any time through our scheduling system, or call us at 319.688.5077 during business hours. Online booking shows live availability by stylist and service, which is the fastest way to find an evening or Saturday slot. You can easily schedule your appointment online to reserve your spot.

We ask for 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule, because missed appointments cost our stylists real income. Guests who cancel without notice will be asked to keep a card on file for future bookings, and appointments more than ten minutes late may need to be rescheduled. Read our full cancellation guidelines on our salon policies page.
