Consultation Questions Answered for Clients
Everything you need to know before booking your consultation with our salon.
During your consultation, your stylist will discuss goals, examine hair texture and condition, review past treatments, and recommend options and timelines. We'll outline expected results, maintenance needs, and products so you leave with a clear, personalized plan before any service.
Consultations typically last 20 to 45 minutes depending on complexity. Simple trims or styling plans may be shorter, while major color, extensions, or corrective services require more time to evaluate and plan thoroughly. We schedule accordingly to avoid rushing your appointment.
While not always required, we strongly recommend booking a consultation before major treatments. It ensures safety, realistic expectations, and accurate pricing. For first-time clients or complex changes like color corrections or extensions, a pre-service consultation helps prevent surprises.
Absolutely. Inspiration photos are helpful to convey your desired look and discuss feasibility. Your stylist will evaluate how those ideas suit your hair type, face shape, and maintenance level, then suggest adaptations to achieve a flattering, realistic outcome.
Yes. After assessing your hair and goals, we provide transparent price estimates and outline any staged appointments required. Exact pricing may vary with color complexity, product use, or additional services, but you'll receive a clear cost range before booking.
Bring photos, a list of recent chemical treatments, and questions about upkeep or allergies. Arrive with clean, dry hair if possible so we can assess natural texture. Honest history helps us plan safe services and accurate results.
