Squeeze-In Appointment Policy
At BraidssByCiCi LLC, I strive to accommodate as many clients as possible, especially during busy periods when my availability is limited. When squeeze-in appointments are posted, please note the following:
Squeeze-ins are intended for clients who have not been able to secure an appointment due to my current booked schedule. This policy ensures that everyone has a fair chance at booking a time that works for them.
If you already have a pre-existing appointment, I kindly ask that you honor that booking. Allowing clients with existing appointments to switch to a squeeze-in slot creates an unnecessary gap in my schedule, causing additional back-and-forth and making it difficult to manage my time effectively.
By keeping your original appointment, it helps me maintain an organized schedule and provide the best possible service to everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping me make the process smoother for all clients!

• Come Prepared: Please arrive with your hair thoroughly washed and blow-dried straight. This ensures a smooth and efficient braiding process.
• Shampooing Service: If you prefer, a shampooing service is available as an add-on. Be sure to select this option when booking your appointment.
• Unwashed Hair Policy: If you arrive with unclean hair and have not selected the shampooing add-on, I will need to perform the shampooing service for an additional fee. This is mandatory, as I cannot work on unclean hair for both your health and mine.
• No Exceptions: If you choose not to proceed with the required shampooing service, the appointment will be canceled, and you will be asked to leave.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. These policies are in place to maintain a professional, hygienic, and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Your hair WILL be oiled towards the end of services.
