Consultation + Additional Services in North Nashville: Salon Add‑Ons Guide
By Experience This Hair Salon & Barber Shop | August 24, 2026
I hear this all the time: you came in for a Silk Press, a cut, color, Sister Lock installs, or Micro Lock maintenance and transfers, and you also want the little details handled so you leave feeling finished. Additional Services are salon and barber add-ons, like scalp treatments, conditioning support, consultation time, and scheduling options, that let me match your main appointment to your real life. Here in North Nashville on the Jefferson Street corridor, most add-ons add about 10 to 40 minutes and run roughly $15 to $60 depending on what you’re adding and how much time it takes.
Below I’ll break down what my add-ons mean at Experience This Hair Salon & Barber Shop, how they affect timing, and how to choose the right ones for humid Nashville summers and busy event days near Germantown dining and Nissan Stadium.
Add-ons are for tight schedules, humid hair days, and “I need it done right” energy
If you’re searching “consultation” in North Nashville, you’re usually trying to avoid two things: wasted time and disappointing results. Add-ons help me solve both. They give us space to talk through what you want, set expectations, and handle the practical pieces that can make or break your appointment.
These extras are especially helpful if you commute in from Downtown Nashville, Germantown, Salemtown, East Nashville, Berry Hill, or Donelson and you’re building your visit around a shift or an event. And in Nashville humidity, a little added prep can be the difference between smooth hair that holds and hair that starts fighting back before you even get to your car.
Quick reality check: an add-on isn’t “extra for no reason.” It’s usually the part that protects your hair health, protects your time, or protects the final look.

These are the most common add-ons people ask about. I’m writing these in plain language so you can plan without guessing.
Credit Card fee 5%
If you pay by credit card, there’s a 5% fee. I mention it here because I’d rather you know up front than feel surprised at checkout.
Best for: anyone planning payment ahead of time.
Holiday appointment add $20please read
Holiday, same-day, or Sunday appointments include a $20 add-on fee. Those are high-demand spots on the Jefferson Street corridor, especially when the city’s calendar is packed.
Best for: last-minute event prep and busy weekends.
Mobility add on
This one is only booked with a prior consultation. I use it to make sure your setup is comfortable and we’ve planned the pace of the service appropriately.
Best for: anyone who needs accessibility planning before a longer service.
Products
Sometimes you’ll want an extra product added to support your service, especially when we’re thinking about hold, moisture, or protecting your hair between visits.
Best for: maintaining results at home after color, Silk Press work, or loc maintenance.
Deposit (for color or extensions)
For sew-ins, crochet, locs, faux locs, braids, and color services, you’ll call to make a deposit payment. It’s non-refundable. I treat this as a commitment on both sides so I can reserve the right amount of time for your hair.
Best for: larger services that need dedicated time blocks, especially color.
Consultation please read
I do haircut and styling consultations. Color, loc, and wedding consultations require a separate appointment and a deposit. This is where I ask the questions that protect your outcome, like your hair history, your goal photos, and what your schedule can realistically support.
Best for: first-time visits, big changes, wedding hair and makeup planning, and new loc starts like Sister Lock installs.
Twilight fee Please read***
Late appointments after 8pm are $20 per hour. If you need an evening slot because of work, I can sometimes make it happen, but I price it honestly because it’s outside normal hours.
Best for: after-work schedules and hospitality shifts that run late.
**Late Fee
If you’re 15 minutes late, expect to pay. At 39 minutes late, it’s $20 and you may not be able to get your service done. I run on time because it protects the next person’s appointment and protects your full service time too.
Best for: anyone building an appointment around traffic, events, or a tight schedule. Plan a cushion.
Early Bird / Twilight Fee Please read**
Early appointments before 6am are $20 per hour. For same-day or weekend appointments, you’ll call to verify availability. These time slots are a lifesaver for some schedules, so I keep it clear and simple.
Best for: early shifts, travel days, and event mornings when you want to be done early.
New customer $20 deposit
All new guests require a $20 deposit at booking. It’s non-refundable and non-transferable. This helps me hold your spot and keep the day running smoothly.
Best for: first-time visits when you want a set time and a clear plan.
The results people talk about: healthier hair, consistent loc work, and color that hits the goal
People don’t come to me just to “get something done.” They come because they want the kind of work that holds up when you get back into Nashville heat, a busy week, and real life. I focus hard on hair health, and I’m direct about what your hair can handle right now and what takes a little time.
I’ve had clients tell me they’re happier after they trusted the process, especially with loc repairs and long-term maintenance. I also see a lot of loyalty around consistent loc services, like sister locs and interlocks, where the goal is neat work that keeps your foundation strong. And for color, I’m listening for the exact vibe you want, like roots touch-ups plus a pop of highlights, not a generic “something different.”
“Amanda is the best stylist ever!! I love the way my hair feels and looks everytime I leave. She has you covered for every color, style and look!”

When you sit down, this is how I handle your appointment time
When you’re in my chair, the first thing I do is get clear on the goal. If you brought pictures, I want to see them. If you have a hard stop because you’re headed to work or you’re getting ready for a game or a concert, tell me at the start so I can plan the service around your time.
Then I look at what your hair is doing today, not what it did six months ago. That’s where add-ons matter. A consultation appointment gives us room to talk through bigger plans like color changes, loc starts, or wedding hair and makeup timing. Deposits hold the space for services that need it. And fees like early-bird or twilight are there when your schedule needs something outside normal hours.
I also run on time. I’m serious about it, because it respects everyone in the shop and it keeps your service from feeling rushed.
13 years in, I still care about the details that protect your hair
I’ve been doing hair in Nashville for 13 years, and what keeps people with me is consistency. I’m big on education, too. Clients have told me they appreciate leaving with real guidance on how to care for their hair, not just a finished style.
If you’re new, start with the consultation add-on so I can see your hair, hear your goal, and tell you what makes sense next. If you already know you need color, loc work, or a wedding plan, I’ll point you toward the right consultation type and make sure we book the correct time block.
Ready for a clean plan? Call me at +16153354835 or email abandlanderson1@gmail.com. If you’re coming into the Jefferson Street corridor from Downtown, Germantown, or East Nashville, tell me what you’re trying to get done and how much time you’ve got. I’ll help you pick the right add-ons.
FAQ: Additional Services on Jefferson Street (timing, pricing, and frizz help)
What are the most common Additional Services at a salon or barber shop?
Most people use add-ons to lock in the details around a main service. In general, that includes things like beard trims, brow shaping, deep conditioning, scalp treatments, express blowouts, conditioning gloss, and makeup touch-ups. In my shop, you’ll also see practical add-ons like consultations, deposits for color or extension services, and scheduling options like early-bird or twilight time.
How much does a beard trim cost in North Nashville?
Around North Nashville, a basic beard trim add-on commonly falls in the $15 to $30 range, depending on detail work. If you want a beard service paired with a haircut, plan for a little extra time so the line-up and finishing work don’t get rushed.
Will adding a scalp treatment make my appointment take much longer?
Usually not. In most salons, a scalp treatment add-on adds about 20 to 40 minutes. If you’re already booking a longer service like color or loc maintenance, I’ll help you decide if it fits your time window or if it’s smarter to schedule it on a separate day.
Can I book a brow wax as a standalone service at a barber shop on Jefferson Street?
Some shops do offer brow waxing as a standalone service, and some keep it strictly as an add-on to another appointment. If brows are the only thing you need, call ahead and ask if they’ll book it solo so you’re not wasting a trip.
Which add-on is best for humid Nashville summers to reduce frizz?
In humid Nashville summers, the best anti-frizz add-ons are usually moisture support and smoothing prep, like deep conditioning or a scalp and hair treatment that helps your hair hold onto hydration. If you’re wearing your hair out and you want it to last, ask for moisture and smoothing support when you book so I can plan the time.
Planning your add-ons in North Nashville: the three things to tell me first
If you want me to nail it on the first visit, come in with three pieces of info. First, show me pictures and say what you like about them. Second, tell me your hard stop time if you have one. Third, let me know about scalp sensitivities, recent color, relaxers, or anything that changes how your hair behaves.
I’m right here on the Jefferson Street corridor in North Nashville, and I work with a lot of people coming in from Downtown, Germantown, Salemtown, East Nashville, Berry Hill, and Donelson. If you tell me your goal and your time, I’ll help you choose add-ons that make sense for your hair, not just for a menu.
