Short answer: A consultation is a relaxed chat with Sarah about your hair, your goals and your routine. She looks at your current color, condition and texture, talks through options, and gives you a realistic plan, including how many visits it may take and what upkeep looks like.

What happens

  1. Your goals: bring photos of hair you love and hair you don’t.
  2. Hair history: past color, box dye, lightening, keratin, extensions and medications that may affect your hair.
  3. A look at your hair: color, condition, density, texture and scalp.
  4. Options: what is possible today, and what might take stages.
  5. Upkeep: how often you’d come back and how to care for it at home.

How to prepare

  • Come with your hair styled how you usually wear it.
  • Bring 2 to 3 inspiration photos.
  • Know roughly how much time you want to spend on upkeep.
  • For extensions, think about your favorite styles: up, down, curly or straight.

Good questions to ask

  • Can we get there in one visit or will it take stages?
  • What will this look like as it grows out?
  • What should I use at home?
  • Is my hair healthy enough for this now?

Every hair type is welcome

Blonde, brunette, red, gray, fine, thick, curly or coily: Sarah plans color and extensions for all of them.
