Consultations: Common Questions Answered Here

Answers to common consultation questions about color, extensions, pricing, and preparation.

Bring photos of desired styles, a list of current products, your hair history including chemical services, and any inspiration. For extensions, bring a close-up of your current length and texture. This helps stylists recommend options and accurate pricing during the consultation.

Most consultations last 20 to 45 minutes depending on complexity. Color consultations may take longer if strand tests or in-depth color mapping are needed. Extension consultations include hair assessment and matching, often requiring more time for thorough planning.

We may charge a nominal consultation fee that is applied toward the final service when booked. Fees cover professional time, color analysis, and planning. Extensions consultations may require an additional deposit for custom matching or scheduling.

Yes. Our stylists evaluate hair condition, previous color, and lifestyle to set realistic expectations. We'll discuss achievable shades, potential stepwise processes, and maintenance needs so you understand timelines, upkeep, and whether multiple sessions are required.

Patch tests are sometimes required, especially for new color clients or certain extension adhesives. We’ll advise during your consultation if a patch or strand test is necessary to ensure safety and optimal results, and schedule it ahead of your service if needed.

Arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products for accurate assessment. Avoid fresh color within two weeks and bring photos or inspiration. For extensions, wear hair down so texture and length can be evaluated properly during consultation.
