Bring clear inspiration photos, a list of recent chemical services, current hair-care products, and any concerns or allergies. Photos of your current hair from multiple angles help us assess texture, length, and realistic color possibilities quickly.

Typical consultation lasts 20-45 minutes depending on hair length, complexity, and discussion depth. We analyze density, porosity, and texture, review inspiration, then outline a safe plan including steps, timing, and recommended treatments for optimal results.

Often dramatic changes require staged sessions to protect hair integrity. Your consultation will determine if a single appointment is safe or if gradual lifting, toning, and treatments across multiple visits are recommended.

Yes. We evaluate hair health, elasticity, breakage, and previous chemical history. Based on findings we may recommend bond-repair treatments, trims, or a preparatory protocol to strengthen hair before any color service.

Absolutely. Your consultation includes a personalized maintenance plan outlining home care, recommended products, touch-up timelines, and salon service intervals to keep color vibrant while minimizing damage between visits.
