To ensure a comfortable, unhurried experience, we offer the option to extend your appointment to 30 minutes for an additional $25.00. Providing extra time for breaks, communication needs, emotional regulation, & tailored grooming without rushing the process.

Please note:

 Because therapeutic sensory appointments are designed to be flexible & responsive to the individual needs of our clients, service times may occasionally run longer than expected. This means that if the appointment before yours is a sensory session requiring extra care, your appointment may be slightly delayed.

 A text will be sent to notify you 60-90 mins prior if this occurs.. Please watch for updated notifications. 


The goal is to ensure every guest receives focused attention.

Curated Sunday Therapeutic Services


Quiet atmosphere, extended time, and sensory-safe care by appointment only.

Note: All sensory services for minors or adults requiring assistance must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or caregiver to ensure the safety of the guest and the professional providing the service.

Sundays are reserved for quiet care — no buzzing tools in the background, no strong salon scents, and no walk-ins. This environment helps build trust, reduce anxiety, and create a consistent, comforting experience for neurodiverse clients, trauma survivors, and those who simply need peace with their grooming. 

WHAT TO EXPECT……..

~Toddlers 

Goals: Desensitize to environment, gain trust, normalize touch and sound.

Steps:

1. Pre-Visit Prep:

• Ask parents to play with pretend scissors/clippers at home.

• Send photos/videos of the stylist and salon.

2. First Visit:

• No cut expected; focus on exploration and comfort.

• Sit in parent’s lap, show tools, let child touch them.

3. Next 2–3 Visits:

• Gradually introduce touch on head/shoulders.

• Allow them to hear clippers/scissors without cutting.

4. By 4th–5th Visit:

• Begin micro-cuts: 1-2 snips or clipper buzzes.

• Use distractions like bubbles, mirrors, or singing.

5. Ongoing Progress:

• Work up to full haircut slowly over months.

• Use consistent language, smells, and faces.

~Children 

Goals: Build autonomy, predictability, reduce sensory triggers.

Steps:

1. Consult and Assessment:

• Ask about triggers (clippers, sounds, lights, pressure).

• Create visual schedules or social stories.

2. First 1–2 Visits:

• Start with washing or brushing only, or just a small trim.

• Reward systems (sticker chart, token, etc.) introduced.

3. Visits 3–5:

• Consistent stylist, gentle introductions to tools.

• Start small trims, praise small wins.

4. Visits 6+:

• Encourage more involvement (e.g., choosing cape, tools).

• Begin styling, shaping haircuts based on comfort.

5. By 6 months+:

• Should be able to tolerate a full appointment with breaks.
