Visiting The Studio 04

Where is Hotscope and when are you open?

We are a beauty and fashion studio in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The studio is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 7pm, Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and closed on Sundays.

Do I need an appointment?

For services, yes. Call (341) 188-0757 and we will find you a slot, usually within the same week. For shopping, walk in any time we are open. No appointment, no pressure to buy.

How should I arrive for a beauty appointment?

Come five to ten minutes early with clean skin and no heavy product in your hair. Bring a photo if you have a look in mind, and bring the makeup you already own if you want us to work with it.

Can I bring someone with me?

Of course. There is seating beside every chair, and plenty of people bring a friend or partner for a second opinion, especially for wedding and event bookings.

Services And Pricing 06

What exactly does Hotscope do?

Two things under one roof. On the beauty side: makeup application, skincare treatments, brow shaping and hair styling. On the retail side: clothing, accessories and beauty products our team has personally tested.

What makes Hotscope different?

We tell you what we are putting on you and why, in plain language. We will say when a product is wrong for your skin, even if it is on our own shelf, and we never add a service you did not ask for.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing is based on the time your appointment takes and the products used, with no hidden fees. Every price is confirmed with you before we start, so nothing on the final bill is a surprise.

What if I do not know what suits me?

That is the most common reason people book. We work out what fits your face, your skin and the life you actually live, then show you how to repeat it. Plenty of clients arrive unsure and leave knowing exactly what to ask for next time.

Do you work with all skin and hair types?

Yes. Products and technique are chosen for your type, not for a general recipe. That covers sensitive and reactive skin, deeper skin tones, textured and curly hair, fine hair and color-treated hair.

Do you teach makeup?

Our Make Sense Makeup sessions are one to one, taught on your own face with your own products. You hold the brush and leave with a routine short enough to actually do on a weekday morning.

Shop And Community 04

What brands do you carry?

Only what our team has tested and kept using. We stock by how a product performs, not by how well known the label is, so the shelf is smaller than most and everything on it has a reason to be there.

Can I return something?

Come and talk to us. If a product or piece is not working out, bring it in with your receipt and we will sort out an exchange, a swap for something better suited, or a refund.

Can I book two services in one visit?

Yes, and it is worth saying so when you call. We will block the full time in one booking rather than splitting it across two visits, which usually works out shorter than booking each one separately.

Do you offer any free services?

Every month we run free styling sessions for people preparing for job interviews, donate services to clients referred through local support groups, and hold open community workshops at the studio.

Still Have A Question?

Call the studio during opening hours, or send a note to the team and we will answer within a day.
