Your visit

How long is a service?
Treatments run 30, 45 or 55 minutes. The signature Alter Escape includes 55 minutes of treatment time plus a 5-minute welcome, so plan on about an hour.
Is this a haircut or a blowout?
No. It is a specialized scalp treatment focused on scalp health and relaxation. We finish with a leave-in conditioning treatment and no heat styling, so your hair air-dries naturally and the treatment keeps working.
What should I bring?
Just yourself. We handle everything else.
Can I come in with extensions?
Extensions need to be removed before your visit, because the treatment works directly on the scalp. It's a great fit between extension appointments. Reach out if you're unsure whether your style is suitable.
Can I book with friends?
Yes. With ten private suites, groups can be treated at the same time, each in their own suite.
What's your cancellation policy?
We require 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment, and no-shows, are charged the full service amount.
Do I need to tell you about allergies or scalp conditions?
Yes, please. Let us know about any allergies, sensitivities, or skin or scalp conditions before your service so we can adapt your treatment.

Memberships

What does a membership include?
One treatment of your chosen tier every month (Reset, Ritual or Escape), member pricing on the Alter retail line, and a monthly rate that stays the same for as long as your membership is active.
Do unused visits roll over?
Yes. Unused visits roll over month to month for as long as your membership is active.
How do I cancel?
After a 3-month minimum, cancel any time with 30 days' notice.
Can I share my membership?
Memberships are personal and can't be shared or transferred.
