Consultation Questions We Commonly Receive

Answers to common questions about booking, format, preparation, and what to expect from consultations.

Yes. For new color clients we require a consultation to assess hair history, porosity, and underlying tones. This lets us create a safe, achievable color plan, discuss expectations, and provide an accurate price and timeline before any chemicals are applied.

Yes. We offer virtual consultations for many services, especially initial discussions and planning. Virtual sessions include video review, photo analysis, and color swatch previews. Some situations still require in-person assessment for accuracy, which we'll advise during the virtual meeting.

Consultations usually run 20–45 minutes depending on complexity. Color or extension planning may take longer for strand analysis, measurements, or detailed styling conversations. We'll reserve adequate time when you book so your stylist can thoroughly evaluate and prepare.

We may charge a consultation fee, which is applied to your service if booked within a set timeframe. Fees cover time, assessment, and prep. Our booking policy explains refund conditions—contact us before your appointment to confirm specifics.

Bring photos of desired styles, a list of previous chemical services, and any hair product details. For virtual consultations, send clear photos and note your routine. Sharing concerns and maintenance preferences helps us recommend suitable, realistic options.

Consultations provide an accurate estimate based on assessment, desired results, and hair condition. Final pricing may change if additional work is needed on the day. We'll outline expected timeframes and variables so you can plan confidently.
