Call to Book

A consultation is a short, focused chat to make sure your next cut, curl service or colour appointment is the right fit. We’ll clarify your goals, look at how your hair behaves day to day, and agree a clear plan so you can book with confidence and avoid guesswork.

More information

What your consultation covers

A practical overview of your hair and your goals, with clear next steps.

  • Your end result: shape, length, finish and how you want it to grow out
  • Hair type and behaviour: curl pattern, density, porosity and shrinkage where relevant
  • Colour history and current condition, plus what’s realistic in one or multiple sessions
  • Lifestyle and maintenance: how often you style, time you have, and preferred upkeep
  • Service recommendations: the best appointment type and timing for your outcome
  • A clear booking plan, with guidance on frequency for ongoing shape or colour

This is ideal if you

  • Want a change but are not sure what will suit your face shape, curl pattern, or routine
  • Need a plan for blended, low maintenance colour that still looks polished
  • Have curly, textured, or Afro textured hair and want a cut and styling approach that respects your pattern
  • Are correcting an old colour, growing out previous work, or aiming for a cleaner refresh
  • Prefer to agree the details before committing to a longer appointment

What happens during your 15 minutes

You’ll talk through your goal, hair history and what you like and dislike about your current look. We’ll assess your hair in its current state, discuss options, and agree what to book and how to prepare for the main service. If your goal needs staged sessions or extra time, we’ll explain why and map out a practical route.

After the consultation

You’ll leave with a clear recommendation for your next appointment and how to maintain it between visits. If needed, we’ll suggest a schedule for reshaping curls, keeping textured hair looking intentional, or maintaining colour without frequent full reworks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a consultation before booking colour?
If you are changing your colour, want balayage, or have a complex colour history, a consultation is strongly recommended. It helps confirm what’s achievable and ensures the right timing is booked.
Can I use the consultation for curly or Afro textured hair advice?
Yes. We can assess your curl or coil pattern, shrinkage, and how your hair responds to moisture and styling, then recommend the right cut and finishing approach.
What should I do before I come in?
Arrive with your hair as you normally wear it day to day, and be ready to share what products and tools you use. Photos of looks you like are helpful, especially for shape and colour tone.
Will I get an estimate and a clear plan?
You’ll get a recommended service plan and what to book next, plus guidance on how often you may need maintenance. Where possible, we’ll also give an expectation of appointment length and overall cost range.
Can I book my main appointment straight after the consultation?
Yes. If you are ready, you can book your cut, curl service, or colour appointment right away based on the agreed plan. This helps ensure the correct time is reserved for your hair goals.
