​​

Don’ts

Don’t wear your most lovely blouse - we are exceptional at paying attention to detail, but we want to ensure there is no room for an unintentional error.Opaque robes are provided to all our guests.

Don’t wash your hair with hot or warm water. The more hot water you use the faster your hair color will rinse out. 

Don’t forget to book your next appointment with us before you leave. We are a small boutique salon so our books fill very quickly and we want to make sure everyone who wishes to come to see us gets the opportunity. 

Appointment and Cancellation Policy

Please call to cancel your appointment at 512-551-3958

For after-hours; please email to cancel your appointment at contact@ardeocolorstudio.com

When you book with us, that time is set aside just for you — your colorist is reserved, and the chair is yours. Because our team is paid for the time they spend creating with you, a last-minute cancellation or no-show isn't simply an empty slot; it's income they can't recover, and a spot we weren't able to offer someone else who was hoping to get in.
To protect the livelihood of the artists behind the chair, we ask for at least 48 hours' notice to change or cancel, and we keep a card on file to reserve your time. Changes or cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice — and no-shows — are charged 50% of the reserved service. Many salons charge the full amount; asking for half is how we care for our team while still being as fair to you as we can.
Your signature below means you understand and agree. Thank you for treating our time with the same care we'll pour into your hair. We can't wait to have you in the chair.

Sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary; therefore, we respectfully request a 48-hour notice for all cancellations or you will be charged a booking fee.

The same care applies to consultations. Though a consultation is complimentary, it still reserves a colorist's time and holds a place on the calendar that another guest was hoping for. A no-show, or a cancellation for a consultation appointment made with less than 48 hours' notice, will be charged a $25 consultation fee to the card on file, and we may ask for a deposit to reserve any future bookings.

What Hair Products Does Your Salon Use?

Being a hair color specialty salon it is imperative that all our hair care products are color-safe and the absolute healthiest for your hair. We are an Oribe-exclusive salon - yes, we’re also obsessed. Known for forward-thinking technology built with a passion for the finest quality, Oribe’s product aligns with our own values.

“I’ve been a hairdresser for most of my life. Hairdressing is what I do, it’s what I love.”

What Hair Color Line Do You Use?

Here at Ārdeō, we pride ourselves on being able to achieve any color service our guests want. With this in mind, ārdeō carries a number of different color lines including Goldwell, Wella, Joico, and Schwarzkopf. As leaders in our industry, we stay on top of cutting-edge trends, creative techniques, and exceptional new products, 

How far in advance should I book my appointments?

We are open to walk-in consultations but there is no guarantee we’ll be able to serve you the same day. Typically, guests should expect to book 2-4 weeks in advance. 

Do you provide confirmation calls?

Once you’ve booked with us you should receive an automatic confirmation text. A second confirmation text will be sent asking you to confirm your appointment 3 days before your appointment. If you haven't been confirmed prior to 48-hours before your appointment, our Coordinator will also give you a courtesy call to confirm your appointment.

In the Salon:

• All of our Oribe products are safe for hair color and contain SPF to protect your hair further
• We will always educate you on the best products and practices for your hair

At Home:

• Using hair color-safe shampoo and conditioners
• Use heat-protectant products when styling your hair 
• SPF is just as important for your hair as it is for your skin. Use products that contain SPF or cover your hair when in direct sunlight. 
• Washing your hair with cool water helps significantly to preserve color to ensure it lasts as long as possible
