A hair consultation is an important part of any salon service. In order to give you the best experience, your hair stylists should be providing a consultation before every service.
The Two Goals of A Hair Consultation
1. Sets expectation
A consultation ensures you can create a realistic plan to achieve your ultimate hair goal. Some looks may require multiple services to achieve without compromising the health of your hair.
2. Respects budget
A consultation helps your hair stylist give you an accurate quote for the time your service will take, and the cost of the products required to achieve your hair goal. Your stylists should also suggest what products you will need for home use to maintain your look at home.
Hair Consultations Will Vary Depending On
- The type of service you are seeking; cut or color
- If you are seeing a new stylist
- If you are a returning guest
Your Stylist Will Asses
- Your current hair health
- Your skin tone
- Your hair type
- Your face shape and bone structure
- Can your goal be achieved in one appointment or if it will be a journey.
How You Can Prepare For Your Consultation

Cut Consultation

- What tools do you use to style your hair?
- What do you love about your hair?
