The VIP appointment experience
Choose the VIP early-appointment upgrade when you need priority access to our signature silk press. Early-morning slots are reserved for clients whose schedules require morning service—commuters, parents, and shift workers. We coordinate convenient appointment times with nearby transit options like Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations for efficient arrival and departure.
The upgrade means focused timing and full stylist attention during early hours without changing the core silk press steps. Expect a targeted consultation, careful preparation of the hair, and an emphasis on a polished finish so you leave promptly with the elevated result associated with our premium service.
Step-by-step silk press process
The service follows a consistent sequence: an initial consultation to confirm desired outcome, cleansing and conditioning to ready the hair, and expert heat styling that creates straightness and shine. Each decision—how the hair is sectioned, the order of preparation, and finishing steps—shapes how the style sits and how manageable it is between appointments.
Because Washington experiences humid summers and cooler winters, the stylist will consider local climate when planning finishing steps. Seasonal adjustments and finishing choices are discussed during your consultation so the technique used reflects both your hair and the regional conditions that influence how the style behaves.
Practical care and results
Aftercare focuses on practical steps that preserve the silk-pressed look between visits: protective wrapping while commuting, minimizing heavy moisture exposure, and following stylist guidance for morning routines. For clients traveling to or from Union Market or the U.S. National Arboretum, we suggest a brief plan to limit humidity exposure immediately after styling.
Pricing for the VIP PREMIUM Silk Press - EARLY Appointments Upgrade is transparent: Starting at $185. Your stylist will confirm the final cost during the consultation. The price reflects priority scheduling and the premium attention provided during early-morning appointments at our Washington location.
