Pricing Update • Effective September 1, 2026

Choose the experience that's right for you.

Appointments booked before September 1, 2026 will be honored at the pricing that was in effect when your appointment was reserved.

We've simplified our pricing so you can book with confidence. Every first-time appointment is now offered at one transparent, flat-rate investment based solely on the Smoothologist you choose.

Transparent Pricing

Taking the guesswork out of pricing.

We know investing in your hair is a big decision, and we never want you wondering what your final total will be. That's why we've simplified our pricing for first-time guests.

Your investment is based solely on the experience level of the Smoothologist you choose—not your curl pattern, hair length, density, or the amount of product used during your appointment.

Our goal is simple: you should know exactly what you'll pay before you ever walk through our doors.

Every first-time appointment is a flat-rate investment.
Optional haircut add-on: $50.

Special Booking Types

Booking for children or Type 4C hair.

Some appointments require additional training and longer appointment times. To provide every guest with the best possible experience, only Smoothologists who are currently trained and accepting these appointments will have these booking options available.

Children's Appointments

Children's appointments require additional patience, timing and specialized training. If you don't see the Children's Appointment add-on when booking with a particular Smoothologist, it simply means they are not currently accepting children's appointments.

Please choose a Smoothologist who has the Children's Appointment add-on available.

Type 4C Hair

Our Type 4C appointments require advanced training and additional appointment time. If the Type 4C Hair add-on isn't available for the Smoothologist you'd like to book with, that team member is not currently offering that service.

Please choose a Smoothologist who has the Type 4C Hair add-on available.

What happens after your first appointment?

Once we've worked with your hair, there's no more guessing. Your Smoothologist will document exactly what your hair requires and provide you with a personalized maintenance quote for future appointments.

01 Time

How long your appointment actually required.

02 Product

The amount of professional product your hair consistently uses.

03 Customization

Any additional detail or specialty work unique to your hair.

Most returning guests remain very close to their original investment. Guests with exceptionally long, dense or highly customized hair typically see maintenance adjustments of approximately $25–$75 when additional time or product is consistently required.
Before You Book

A few important things to know.

01

Book under your correct hair type.

Hair type determines how much appointment time we reserve—not your price. Booking under a different hair type to access unavailable appointment times may result in your appointment being rescheduled if there isn't enough time reserved to safely complete your service.

02

Don't see your preferred price point?

Each Smoothologist books independently. If you don't see someone within your preferred investment level, it simply means that stylist is already booked during those appointment times.

03

We all perform the same treatment.

Every member of our team performs the same signature SMOOTHED method. Pricing reflects experience, availability and demand—not a different smoothing treatment.

Your Long-Term Investment

Future appointments are personalized to your hair.

Your first appointment is intentionally simple. Once we've worked with your hair, your Smoothologist can provide a maintenance quote based on your unique needs—not estimates.

We believe your first appointment should come with complete peace of mind. Rather than asking you to estimate how much product your hair may require or how long your appointment may take, we've simplified your first visit into one transparent investment.

After your first visit, your Smoothologist will know exactly how much appointment time, product and customization your hair consistently requires. They'll provide a personalized maintenance quote before you leave your appointment.

No. Many guests remain at or very close to their original investment. Only appointments that consistently require significantly more time, product or customization typically see an adjustment.

Haircuts remain an optional $50 add-on for both first-time and returning appointments.

A Small Note

Our flat-rate first-time pricing applies to the overwhelming majority of guests and is designed to eliminate surprises. In the rare event that a service significantly exceeds our maximum reserved appointment time of approximately 3½ hours due to exceptionally long, dense or unusually time-intensive hair, additional charges may apply. Whenever possible, we'll discuss this with you before moving forward.

Questions We Hear Often

Still have questions?

No. Your hair type helps us reserve the correct amount of appointment time, but your first-time investment is based solely on the Smoothologist you choose.

Absolutely. Every member of our team performs the same signature SMOOTHED method. Pricing reflects experience, availability and demand—not a different treatment.

Yes. If future appointments consistently require less time or product than expected, your Smoothologist may adjust your maintenance investment accordingly.

How Pricing Works

You only pay for the time we actually use.

Reserving additional time protects your appointment and helps our schedule run smoothly. If the additional time is not needed, you will not be charged for unused time.

$50 per 15 minutes for appointment time beyond the included three hours

Your first three hours

The standard $500 team starting price includes up to the first three hours of your service.

Type 1–2 hair

Many Type 1–2 appointments take approximately two and a half hours. An optional complimentary time-extension may be available during booking so we can reserve enough time without automatically increasing your price.

Type 3–4 hair

Some Type 3–4 appointments are completed within three hours, while denser, longer, thicker or highly textured hair may require additional time.

Type 4C and children's appointments

Please select the required additional-time option when booking. This reserves enough time for a comfortable appointment. Your final total is based on the actual time used.

Future maintenance pricing

Once your Smoothologist understands how much time, product and customization your hair typically requires, future maintenance pricing may be adjusted at their discretion.

Founder Pricing

Kaylie typically sees each guest for their first one to three appointments. Ongoing maintenance may then be thoughtfully transitioned to a Senior or Established Smoothologist.
