Colour Consultation – What To Expect
When you visit Combers for a hair colour consultation, you can expect a comprehensive and personalised experience. Our goal is to ensure that you leave our salon feeling confident and delighted with your new hair colour. Here is a guide to help you prepare for your consultation and make the most of your visit.
A hair colour consultation at Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing is a detailed process designed to understand your unique preferences and needs. Our highly trained colour specialists will take the time to get to know you and your hair. The consultation typically includes:
Discussion of Your Hair History:
Your stylist will ask about your hair’s history, including any past colouring, treatments, and general hair care routine. This helps us understand your hair’s current condition and how it may react to new colour treatments.
Understanding Your Goals:
It’s essential for us to know what hair colour you desire. Whether you’re looking for a subtle change, a bold transformation, or something in between, sharing your goals helps us create a plan that aligns with your desires.
Assessment of Your Features:
Our specialists will consider your skin tone, eye colour, and natural hair colour to recommend shades that will enhance your features. This ensures that the colour you choose will complement your overall look and make you feel your best.
Hair Analysis:
We will analyse the texture, thickness, and health of your hair. This analysis is crucial in determining the best colouring techniques and products to use.
What Your Stylist Will Discuss with You
During the consultation, your stylist will cover several important topics to ensure you are well-informed and comfortable with the process:
Colour Options:
They will present different colour options and discuss how each will look on you. This includes discussing highlights, lowlights, balayage, ombre, and other techniques.
Maintenance and Care:
The stylist will explain how to care for your new colour, including recommended products and treatments to keep your hair healthy and vibrant.
Expected Results:
They will set realistic expectations about what can be achieved in one session and whether multiple appointments might be necessary for more drastic changes.
Cost and Time:
Your stylist will provide an estimate of the cost and time required for the colour treatment. This helps you plan accordingly and ensures there are no surprises.
What to Bring with You
To help your stylist understand your vision and create the perfect look for you, consider bringing the following to your consultation:
Photos of Desired Colours:
Bring pictures of hair colours you like. Visual references are incredibly helpful in communicating your preferences to your stylist.
List of Hair Products:
If possible, bring a list of the hair care products you currently use. This can help your stylist understand your hair’s condition and make recommendations for aftercare.
Previous Hair Colour Details:
If you’ve coloured your hair before, bring any information you have about the dyes or treatments used. This can help avoid any adverse reactions or complications.
Questions and Concerns:
Write down any questions or concerns you have so you don’t forget to ask them during your consultation. Most, if not all, of these questions will be answered during your consultation but, just in case, here are some questions you might consider asking:
- What colours will complement my skin tone and eye colour?
- What maintenance will this colour require?
- How often will I need to touch up my roots or refresh the colour?
- What kind of hair care products should I use to maintain my new colour?
- Are there any potential risks or side effects associated with the colour treatment I want?
- Can I see examples of your past work or look at colour samples?
- How much will it cost?
- How many appointments will it take to get to my desired colour?
At Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing Salon, we strive to provide a thorough and enjoyable consultation experience. Our aim is to make sure you feel confident in your choice and excited about your new hair colour. We look forward to helping you achieve the look you desire!
