What to expect

Every appointment at AMIA is calm, unhurried and run to time. You’ll be greeted, talked through the plan for your hair, and looked after from start to finish. Knowing a few things in advance helps the day run smoothly — for you and for us.

Coming prepared

Pick whichever of these suits you — each gets your hair ready for the style you’ve booked.

1. Book a wash & blow dry with us

• ·Easiest option — we handle the wash, treatment if needed, and the blow dry so your hair is prepped exactly the way the style needs.

• ·Recommended for sleek styles (silk press, sleek ponytails, sew-ins with leave-out) where the finish depends on a proper salon prep.

2. Book a takedown

• ·If you’re coming out of braids, locs, a wig install or any protective style, add a takedown to your booking.

• ·Combine with a wash & blow dry so your hair’s ready straight after.

3. Come pre-washed & blow dried (minimal product)

• ·Hair washed, free of build-up and heavy oils.

• ·Heat protectant and a light leave-in are fine — anything heavier coats the hair and makes the style harder to set.

• ·A thorough blow dry with a comb attachment the day of, or the day before, gives the best result. If your hair reverts quickly, come with 2–4 loose cornrows to keep it stretched.

• ·Not recommended for sleek styles — those really do need a salon wash to land properly.

03

Bringing your own hair

• ·Bring your own hair, or ask us to source it. Message us on WhatsApp before booking if you’d like a recommendation or a quote.

• ·Braids: bring pre-stretched extensions only.

• ·Wigs & frontals: deliver to the salon at least 5 days before your appointment so we can prep the unit properly.

04

Frontal & wig aftercare

• ·Allow glue to fully dry for 24 hours before exposure to moisture (including sweat). Failure to follow aftercare may affect results.

• ·Adjustments may be requested within 7 days of your appointment. Refunds are not provided for aftercare-related changes.

05

Bringing guests

• ·To keep the salon calm and comfortable, only clients receiving services should attend appointments.

• ·If you require a parent, guardian, or essential companion for legal or medical reasons, please let us know in advance.

• ·Children under 12 must be supervised at all times.

06

Running late?

• ·Life happens — if you’re running behind, call or WhatsApp us as soon as you can.

• ·The more notice we have, the more likely we can keep your appointment on track.

• ·We don’t charge late fees, but a very late arrival may mean shortening the service or rescheduling, at the stylist’s discretion.
