Connections: Common Questions and Answers
Answers to frequently asked questions about our Connections networking services.
Coffee Connect is a relaxed 30 to 60 minute meetup at the salon where attendees enjoy coffee, guided introductions, and light conversation. It’s designed for quick networking, informal consultations, and discovering local professionals and services. RSVP is recommended due to limited space.
Sip and Sample focuses on product demos and hands-on trials, often featuring several brands and guided sampling. Sessions are longer and more product-centric than Coffee Connect, offering expert tips, mini-demonstrations, and the chance to purchase samples or book follow-up services.
Yes—you can invite colleagues, partners, or clients. Please inform us in advance so we can accommodate group sizes and manage seating. Some events have limited capacity, so we recommend registering all guests when you RSVP.

Fees vary by event: many Coffee Connect sessions are complimentary or cover a drink, while Sip and Sample may have a small participation fee that can include product samples or credit toward purchases. Details are listed for each event.
Register online through our booking page, call the salon, or stop by in person. Space is limited for each event, so we recommend reserving your spot at least a few days in advance to ensure availability.
