When the fee applies
This add-on applies to appointments scheduled for holidays, same‑day requests, or Sunday services. It covers the additional administrative and staffing steps associated with booking and preparing a slot outside standard demand patterns; processing or recording the add‑on during booking typically takes about 15 MINUTES in our system.
Demand peaks in November, December and May, when holiday travel and local events drive short‑notice bookings. Nashville's hospitality and live‑music schedules, plus pre‑event appointments near Nissan Stadium and Germantown, create concentrated demand that the surcharge helps manage to keep appointments reliable during those periods.
How it affects scheduling
Same‑day and Sunday appointments are limited in number to preserve service quality and schedule integrity. Adding this fee flags the booking for staffing so our team can prepare; clients who commute from downtown or nearby neighborhoods benefit from our location near major interstates and bus routes when they need late or weekend appointments.
The add‑on does not change the service itself or its expected duration; it simply offsets extra operational steps required for out‑of‑normal‑hours bookings. Clients should weigh the convenience of securing a specific slot against the additional fee, especially during the busiest months when availability is constrained.
What to expect at checkout
At checkout the surcharge appears as a separate line item labeled for holiday/same‑day/Sunday booking and is included in your confirmation. If the add‑on seems incorrect or you have questions, contact the salon before your appointment so our front desk can adjust the booking and prevent delays on arrival.
When possible, book in advance to avoid the add‑on during high‑demand windows, but if you need a last‑minute slot this fee helps guarantee staffing and timing. Our North Nashville location on the Jefferson Street corridor makes late or Sunday appointments practical for many clients coming from Germantown, Donelson, or downtown.
