The First Step to Your Hair Transformation? A Consultation
You've been pinning images, watching YouTube tutorials, and you're buzzing with excitement at the idea of transforming your hair. Yet, there's a crucial step you may be overlooking: the consultation with an experienced hair stylist who cares for your hair type and lifestyle.
At Fringe Collective, we place the utmost importance on this initial step. More than just a time to talk about the various looks you like. It's a chance for us to get to know your hair and lifestyle better — whether it’s your first time in our salon or your 100th maintenance appointment.
And if we become best friends along the way – even better!
The Purpose of a Consultation
If you've ever had a hair disaster, you probably wish the stylist had given a more thorough consultation. This essential step allows your stylist to get to know your hair’s history, discuss your desired outcomes, and set realistic expectations. Beyond that, a consultation helps in tailoring services like hair color, texture management, and extensions to your specific needs.
For example, if you’d like a major hair transformation, your stylist can recommend the right services and products to support your goals. Or, if you're dealing with an issue like dryness or breakage, they can help diagnose what's really going on and create a haircare regimen to get you back on track.
Ultimately, consultations are designed to provide trust between the client and stylist so that each service visit is an opportunity for beautiful results. With the right advice from your stylist, you can be sure that each treatment will bring you a step closer to achieving your ideal look.
The Fringe Collective Approach to Consultations
Consultations at Fringe are always included in every single service, every single time.
Our goal is to help you determine the best course of action to take and the right products to use so that you can maintain your look between appointments. And the consultation ensures that we are both on the same page before we get started. We will also provide tips on hair care, styling techniques, and product recommendations tailored specifically to you.
Why Are Consultations So Important?
At our salon, consultations are not just a 'nice-to-have'; they are like GPS for appointments and here’s why:
All hair services are complex and require a deep understanding of your hair’s condition, history, and how it will respond to different treatments. The consultation ensures that you and your stylist are on the same page, ensuring the likelihood of desired results. The most important thing to every member of our team is ensuring your happiness with your experience and final result.
The consultation is our way of gathering the information needed to create a plan of action that will give you the look you desire while also keeping your hair healthy for longer.
What to Expect When You Come to Your Appointment at Fringe.
When you come in for your appointment, you'll be engaged in a two-way conversation. Your stylist will ask about your hair history, the products you use, and your daily hair care regimen.
They'll also want to know more about what you're hoping to achieve with your hair transformation. Feel free to ask any questions you have—your stylist is there to guide you. Throughout the process, they'll explain what they're doing every step of the way.
Our goal is to ensure that you feel informed and confident in the plan we create for you. We want the best outcome possible, so be sure to voice any concerns or hesitations you have about the services being discussed!
FAQs about Consultations
What should I bring to a consultation?
Pictures can be helpful. This gives the stylist a visual cue of what you're looking for. Even if you aren’t sure exactly what you want, bringing a few inspirational pictures can help get the conversation started. Pictures of your hair are extremely helpful. Especially if you have pics of times you loved (or hated) your hair.
How should I prepare?
Come with your hair in its natural state so the stylist can assess its texture and health. Also, have an idea of the style you'd like and be candid with your stylist about your home maintenance routine and what you are and aren’t willing or able to do.
What if I don't know what I want?
That's okay! The stylist can recommend styles for your hair type and suggest products to help you achieve and maintain healthy hair. We’re all about helping you find the look that’s best for you. It’s important to consider all the factors (like lifestyle, maintenance, or feasibility) that you and your stylist discuss that could potentially affect how a particular style/color/length/texture might end up looking on you.
What else should I know?
Don't hesitate to be honest with your stylist—their job is to help you get the look you want while considering your hair's health. They might also suggest treatments depending on your hair and scalp condition and any concerns or challenges you’ve been having at home.
