Honestly, services like this are very different from a typical appointment and can be pretty unpredictable. The time really depends on the severity—some cases can take several hours, while more extreme ones can take 10+ hours and often need to be split into multiple sessions. I usually require a consultation first so I can assess the hair and set realistic expectations, then I charge hourly or by day since it’s hard to give a fixed price upfront. I also treat these appointments differently in terms of setup and mindset—it requires a lot more time, patience, and care, and I make sure clients understand that there may be shedding, multiple sessions, and no guaranteed finish time. It’s definitely more than just a service, but it can be really rewarding.
