ABOUT US

Because I run my business completely on my own (without an assistant or receptionist!), I truly appreciate you taking a few minutes to read through the information below - it helps keep things running smoothly and allows me to spend more time behind the chair. Thank you so much for your understanding and support! 🫶🏻 ⸻ FOREVER FOOD DRIVE - WIN A FREE HAIRCUT! I’m running a low-key, forever food drive to benefit the Somerville Community Fridges (and local animal rescues/pet pantries). Neither of my studios are in Somerville, but it’s where I’ve called home for nearly two decades. Our community fridges are often nearly empty, with people waiting outside for donations. I can’t stand it. 😭 So, for as long as I live here… or for as long as the community fridges are open… this food drive will live on. ❤️ The goal is longevity, so I’m hoping to encourage small, consistent donations over time rather than big donations all at once. Just $5 or a couple of non-perishable items can make a real difference when we all keep showing up and donating consistently. Here’s how it works: 🥫 Bring any non-perishable food items to your appointment. 🐕 🐈‍⬛ I’ll also accept pet food and donate it to a local shelter/pet pantry. 🎟️ For every appointment you bring food to, you’ll get one raffle entry for a FREE haircut. ➡️ Bring food to five different appointments? That’s five different entries. ➡️ Ten appointments? Ten entries. Keep ’em coming. ‼️ SHIT! You forgot to bring non-perishables but still want to be entered into the raffle? I got you! Just send $5 to me on Venmo (@torriedwyer) with the caption FOOD DRIVE, and I’ll use those funds to do grocery runs. Do this at every appointment for a new entry! ALSO: This option is open to anyone! If you’re not my client but want to participate, please leave your name + phone number in the Venmo note as well so I can contact you if you win. (My Venmo is private!) I’ll draw a winner twice a year: ✨ January 1 ✨ July 1 The winner will be contacted by text. Times are so, so tough… let’s take care of each other. ❤️ *This raffle is not affiliated with Geist or Textured Petite. ⸻ BUSINESS HOURS Tuesday + Thursday: 11:30 AM - 8 PM ⸻ CONTACT You’re welcome to text/email me anytime, day or night! My business line is off outside of active business hours, and I’ll see all messages once it’s back on. Personal Business Line (please text): 508-251-9321 Email: torriedoesmyhair@gmail.com Please don’t use the ‘Contact’ button on the website, as it goes into my spam folder - email or text me directly instead. NOTE: I handle all of my own client communication. Please do not contact the studio. ⸻ MANAGING YOUR APPOINTMENT View, adjust, reschedule, or cancel via the text/email you received when you made your appointment. ‼️PLEASE SAVE THESE‼️ • Regular cancellations are only accepted via the booking site - not by text, email, or social media. • If you cancel after the online window closes, text me. Late-cancellation fees apply. • All changes must be made at least *48 hours* in advance or you’ll be charged for the full reserved time. ⸻ BOOKING My time is reserved exclusively for you. My online schedule shows my availability for the next 90 days. • I do not guarantee appointments booked more than 90 days in advance. RETURN CLIENTS: A form will be attached to your booking request. Please take a moment to look it over before your appointment. NEW CLIENTS: Upon submitting your appointment request, you’ll be prompted to complete my haircut consultation form. Please complete it immediately, or your appointment request will be declined. You’re welcome to submit a new request when you have time to complete the form. ⸻ WAITLIST Spots open up frequently, and you’ll be notified automatically. • To add yourself, select the service(s) you’d like, then tap the “Join Waitlist” button at the bottom of page. NOTE: If you’re able to book an appointment from my waitlist, please remember to cancel any other appointments you no longer need, so that space can be made available for other clients. ⸻ TIME ADJUSTMENTS Appointments may shift up to 30 minutes later to help optimize scheduling. You’ll receive an automated update if any changes are made. ⸻ IN A RUSH? Anyone who knows me knows I am never, ever running early. So if you need to be out by a certain time, give me a heads-up BEFORE we start! I do need [at least] most of the appointment time, but I will move faster if we skip the yapping. NOTE: My schedule is heavily influenced by the flow of the day, so I recommend leaving some flexibility between commitments. ⸻ QUIET APPOINTMENTS Need some quiet time? Just let me know! I want your appointment to be what you need. ⸻ PARKING We have a pretty large, FREE parking lot directly across from the front of the salon, and there’s also a good amount of street parking available! ⸻ TRAIN We’re diagonally across from the Green Street stop on the Orange Line. ⸻ PAYMENT I love cash, but may not always have change, so please bring exact cash if needed. I also accept Apple Pay and card. Gratuity not accepted. ⸻ STUDIO ETIQUETTE • Phones: Please silence your phone. • Children, friends, etc.: Please arrive alone unless you are accompanied by your own parent, guardian, or caretaker. If you arrive with someone who does not have an appointment, we will be unable to honor your appointment, and the full cost of the scheduled service(s) will still apply. • Animals: Only trained service animals allowed (per state board regulations). • WiFi: Available if you’d like to work while your color is processing. ⸻ HAIRCUT / COLOR ADJUSTMENTS I want you to love your hair!
