Why Kindred Doesn’t Take Phone Calls (And Why You’ll Love That)

Ever called Kindred and heard our voicemail?
Here’s why we don’t pick up—and why it’s all about giving you the best experience possible.

Doing things differently is at the heart of what we believe, and our no-phone policy is just one of the ways we ensure your salon experience is calm, intentional, and focused on you. Curious why we’ve taken this step? By the end of this post, we think it will make perfect sense.

What Happens When Salons Do Answer the Phone Mid-Service

Imagine this: a stylist is carefully applying color when the phone rings. They rush to grab it, trying to handle the call while keeping focus on the service at hand. Meanwhile, timers beep, other clients wait, and the front desk is a flurry of activity.

Sound chaotic? It is.

For you, the client in the chair, it means:
✔️ Interruptions
✔️ Distractions
✔️ A loss of the focused attention you deserve

You didn’t endure Northern Virginia traffic to feel like just another task in a busy salon. You came to unwind, feel cared for, and enjoy a professional, seamless experience.

That’s why Kindred takes a different approach.
By eliminating phone calls, we stay fully present with you—so every moment of your appointment feels intentional and undisturbed.
