What to bring
- Two or three photos of color you love, and one you do not.
- Your color history for the last few years, including box dye, henna and keratin.
- A recent photo of your hair in daylight if you are booking from home.
- Your routine: how often you wash, heat style and swim.
Questions to ask
- Is this look realistic for my hair in one appointment, or will it take a few?
- What will it cost, and what is included: toner, treatment, blowdry?
- How often will I need to come back to keep it looking fresh?
- What should I use at home to make it last?
- Will this suit my skin tone, or would you adjust the shade?

What a good colorist will ask you
Expect questions about your history, your routine and the feeling you want, not just the shade. Clients often say the best colorists listen closely and match the look to their personality, which is exactly what a consultation is for.
