ᏙᎩᏯᏍᏗ

(To Ki Ya Sdi)

noun
the place where they race

We at COSMoS want to take time to acknowledge that for thousands of years, the Cherokee flourished in ᏙᎩᏯᏍᏗ (To Ki Ya Sdi), which translates to “the place where they race,” now known as Asheville. Today, Asheville sits on the ancestral land of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The city’s main water source originates in Black Mountain, located in eastern Buncombe County. From there, pure mountain springs and streams feed into lakes, forming the North Fork and Bee Tree Reservoirs.

Frequently asked questions
.....

We understand your time is valuable, and so is ours. Out of respect for our stylists and clients, we require at least 24 hour notice should you need to cancel/reschedule an appointment. Failing to give 24 hour notice will require a 100% payment of your service(s). Any no-shows will require a payment of 100% of their service amount.   

Please note that if you are over 15 minutes late for your appointment we may have to reschedule your service if it cannot be completed in the remaining time frame. All attempts to reschedule in a timely manner will be made. If we do not hear from you 15 or more minutes into your scheduled appointment time it is considered a “No-Show” and a required payment of 100% of the service scheduled.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and cash. We do not accept personal checks.

The safety of our staff and our clients is our top priority. As such, the salon reserves the right to refuse service to anyone if we feel that they pose a health or safety risk. This includes but is not limited to lice, skin infections, open wounds, contagious illness (such as a new, continuous cough or a fever), or rude/obnoxious behavior. 

Thank you for your understanding.
