01
Before your appointment
A little prep keeps your appointment on schedule and gives the finished set a cleaner, longer-lasting result.
- Wash, condition and fully dry your hair before you arrive.
- Detangle from the ends up so the sections part cleanly.
- Skip heavy creams, gels and oils on the scalp on appointment day.
- Message Chass in advance if you're unsure how to prep for your chosen style.
02
What to bring
Bring only what your style and your comfort actually need.
- Your hair, if your style requires added hair — confirm the type and amount with Chass when booking.
- A charger, headphones or anything that makes a longer appointment comfortable.
- Snacks and a drink for longer sets.
- Your inspiration photos saved and ready to show.
03
How to choose your style
Narrow it down before you message so availability and pricing come back faster.
- Browse the gallery and the hairstyles page and save two or three looks you love.
- Decide on a length — shoulder, mid-back, waist or extra long.
- Decide on a size — small, medium or large braids.
- Not sure? Use the style consultation on the homepage and send the result to Chass.
04
How to send inspiration
Clear references are the fastest route to the look you actually want.
- Send photos of the finished look, not just a close-up of the parting.
- Include a front and a back view where you can.
- Say which parts you want copied — the length, the size, the colour or the parting.
- Mention anything you do not want, so nothing is assumed.
05
What to expect
Appointments are one-on-one and paced so the finish stays precise.
- Time varies by style, size and length — Chass confirms an estimate when you book.
- A 15-minute grace period applies; 30+ minutes late may require rescheduling.
- Cash, Cash App, Zelle, Apple Pay and card are accepted.
- Final pricing is always confirmed with you before the appointment is finalised.
