What to know before your Shampoo & Blow Dry Appointment

The experience begins with a thorough consultation followed by a stress-relieving shampoo and a professional blow dry.

Our Shampoo Blow Dry includes a professional blow dry with a blow dryer and round brush. Timing and cost depends on the texture and thickness of your hair.

If you need additional heat styling with a flat iron or curling iron, please alert us in advance so we can adjust your appointment time.

In addition, if your hair takes longer than 30 minutes to style, please let us know so we can schedule you for the appropriate service.

Tipping & Gratuity
Ruiz Salon is a gratuity based salon. All tips are added to your salon ticket at checkout and managed according to federal income laws. We do not accept cash tips given directly to our service providers.
Admin Fee
Due to the impact of rising costs of labor, employee benefits, professional supplies and sundries on our small business, each ticket will be assessed an administrative fee of $5.00. This fee goes directly to offset the rising costs of doing business and is in lieu of an across-the-board price increase on all services and products. Thank you for your patronage and we appreciate your trust!
What is your cancellation policy?

If you are unable to make your scheduled appointment we ask that you contact us by closing of the day prior to your appointment to alert us that you will be unable to make the scheduled day and time.

Should you give us less notice than required or simply not show up for your appointment, the full service will be finalized with the credit card you keep on file with us for reservations.

We understand that emergencies and scheduling conflicts happen so if you miss your appointment or simply no show….if we fill the scheduled appointment time, you will not be charged for the missed appointment.

Please allow 24 hours for cancellation and rescheduling requests. If you cancel with less notice or simply do not show for your appointment, the service(s) will be charged to your credit card on file. Texting after hours is not considered proper notice for a cancellation. You must cancel during our operating hours noted here.

Why do I reserve my appointments with a credit card?

ALL SERVICES MUST BE RESERVED BY A CREDIT CARD.

Credit card numbers are kept securely in your client file to reserve all appointments. Often appointments can be held for a client for weeks, sometimes even months in advance and should someone not show up for one of these appointments it creates great cost to the business and stylists. Therefore we ask for a small window of advance time to re-offer the appointment(s) to someone else.

When you arrive for your appointment you are able to pay with any payment method you’d prefer.

Service Animals

Texas law and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guarantee the right of a person who has disabilities to be accompanied by a trained service animal or a service animal in training in all public places.

Please note the Customer is responsible for damages caused by their service animal and must keep the animal properly harnessed, leashed, and controlled. If the Customer’s disability does not permit the use of a harness, leash, or tether, the animal must still be under control. A handler may be asked to remove the service animal if control cannot be maintained. If this happens, Ruiz Salon will still allow you to obtain goods or services without the service animal including the use of other reasonable accommodations.
