What the charge covers
The extra long hair charge is an additional $20 applied when a service requires handling substantially more hair than standard lengths. That fee helps cover the extra materials, product usage and handling complexity that go into styling very long hair so the final look stays polished and secure for events and daily wear.
Clients often choose long-hair styling for weddings, parties and special dates, which increases styling needs during our busiest months of May, June and December. The fee supports careful finishing and durability that clients mention when they return describing long-lasting, confidence-boosting results after their appointments.
How we determine extra long
Our stylists make a practical determination at consultation or when your service begins to decide if the extra long charge applies. This on-site check lets us account for actual length and volume rather than an estimate, and it fits into quick confirmations for clients booking around LIRR schedules or rush-hour traffic in the Syosset area.
The assessment focuses on how much additional work a style will require — more braiding, pinning, layering or product — not on arbitrary categories. We discuss the decision with you so choices for event looks or everyday wear are clear, whether you live nearby in Plainview, Jericho or travel from Oyster Bay.
What to expect at appointment
At check-in or during your consultation the stylist will note whether the extra long charge applies and explain any adjustments to the styling approach. Expect a brief explanation of how the charge affects your final bill and of any technique changes needed to achieve a durable finish, particularly for humidity-prone summer days or formal-event styling.
To make the most of your time, arrive with detangled hair and reference photos if you have a specific look in mind. Consider our early-evening or weekend slots if you’re syncing around Northern State Parkway traffic or the LIRR commute; those times are popular with families and professionals balancing busy schedules.
