The Consultation Experience
A thoughtful, one-on-one moment to plan your next look.
Whether you’re dreaming of a major change or just want to feel more confident about your next appointment, a consultation is your first step. These 15–30 minute appointments are easy to fit into your day, and if you’re in the mood for a little extra care, add on a blowout and make it a whole vibe. This is your space to share goals, ask questions, and get expert guidance tailored to you.

Select Your Consultation
Not sure where to begin? Start with the type of service you’re considering. Each consultation is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward—whether you're seeking a bold change, exploring color, or curious about extensions.
Haircut Consultation
For major chops, reshaping, or finding a cut that fits your lifestyle, let’s talk through what you’re envisioning before we pick up the scissors.
Hair Color Consultation
Making a shift or considering something new? We'll talk shades, timing, and what kind of maintenance fits your lifestyle.
HAIR Extension Consultation
Whether you're looking for added length, fullness, color or a hair loss solution, we'll walk you through all your options—custom to you.
What to expect
Bring the Vision
Show up with clean, dry hair and a few inspo pics. We’ll chat through your goals, lifestyle, and hair history to get the whole picture.
Hair & Scalp Assessment
We assess the current state of your hair and scalp, considering texture, density, and overall health, to recommend the best cut, color, or extension plan tailored to your needs.
Personalized Plan
Together, we map out what’s possible: techniques, upkeep, maintenance cycle, and realistic timing—so there are no surprises, just a confident step forward.
Ready to Book?
Want to book right away? Amazing, we’ll get you on the calendar. Need a little time? No pressure. We’ll keep your personalized plan on file until you’re ready.
Why a consultation matters
A great appointment starts long before the cape goes on. Our complimentary consultations are a low-pressure way to explore your options, ask every question, and create a plan that puts the health of your hair (and scalp) first.
HAIR HEALTH COMES FIRST
We assess your hair & scalp to be sure any service—color, cut, or extensions—is truly right for you. If there’s a healthier alternative, we’ll recommend it.
CUSTOM, NOT COOKIE-CUTTER
Your lifestyle, budget, and inspo photos guide us toward a solution made just for you.
TRANSPARENT & NO PRESSURE
We map out maintenance, timing, and investment up front, so you can decide when (or if) you’re ready to book the service.
