Question 1

How do I contact you?

Accepted Answer

The best way to reach me is by email: jessica@jessicafunk.com.(mailto:jessica@jessicafunk.com) I do my best respond to all messages within 48 business hours. However, I'm human and running 100% of this show totally solo. If you think I missed your message, I apologize in advance, and please send me a nudge!
To maintain a healthy work-life balance, I keep my phone for personal use only. All appointments can be conveniently booked and managed online through Square.

Not sure what to book? No worries! Just send me an email—I’m happy to help guide you.

Question 2

What are your hours?

Accepted Answer

I'm in the salon Monday-Wednesday with the following hours:
 
Monday 12am-6pm
Tuesday 10am-4pm
Wednesday 11am-6pm

Question 3

I can't find a time that works for me online!

Accepted Answer

All of the times listed on Square are what I have available - there are no appointments hiding! I no longer take appointments in the evenings, so my last service is typically available around 3-5pm depending on the length of the service. I hope your schedule can allow you a morning or afternoon appointment so we can get together.

Question 4

Why do service prices say "starting at"?"

Accepted Answer

Every head of hair is beautifully unique—which means every service is too. At Aura Curl Studio, all appointments are tailored to your specific hair type, texture, and desired outcome to ensure the best possible results.

Extra-long or ultra-thick curls may require more product and time to shape properly. More transformative color services usually need additional bowls of color to achieve the result you’re envisioning.

Any additional charges will simply reflect the extra time and product needed to give your hair the love it deserves and will be discussed prior to the service.

If you have questions about what to expect, I’m always happy to chat before your appointment.

Question 5

How should I wear my hair to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Whether you're receieving a Curly Haircut or color service, I'll be able to provide you with the best results if you've washed your hair recently. Day 1-2 hair is optimal, and please make sure your hair is completely dry when you arrive to your appointment. Pease refrain from wearing your hair in a ponytail, pineapple, bun, clips etc to your appointment. Light product in your hair is completely fine.

Question 6

Do you work on straight hair?

Accepted Answer

I am currently only taking new clients who have wavy, curly, or coily hair. Your straight hair is beautiful! But my passion lies with cutting, styling, and educating those with curls and I choose to focus my time on those services. 
 
If you need a recommendation for a stylist that is great with straight hair, let me know.

Question 7

Do you cut hair curl-by-curl?

Accepted Answer

It depends! Every curly haircut I do is fully customized to you—your texture, your goals, and your comfort level.

While I love and often use curl-by-curl cutting, it’s not always the best approach for every hair type or desired result. Some textures respond better to other techniques, and I’ll always choose the method that supports the health and shape of your curls.

Question 8

Can I go blonde in one appointment?

Accepted Answer

Maybe—but it truly depends on your hair and its history.

Previous color (especially dark or box dye), heat damage, product buildup from silicones, shea butter, or drugstore brands, as well as color-depositing products like Overtone, SPLAT, or Manic Panic can all impact what’s realistically achievable in a single session.
I’ll always be honest with you about what we can safely accomplish, because protecting the integrity of your hair comes first. While I love a dramatic transformation, I’m not here to give false promises, and I definitely won’t compromise the health of your hair just to go faster.
In some cases, going lighter may require multiple sessions, not only to keep your hair healthy, but also because I personally limit appointments to around 4 hours at the most. This helps me give you my full energy, focus, and care, without burning out.

We’ll create a game plan that works for both of us, and your hair will thank you for it.
