Whether you are brand new to color services or an OG, it’s essential to consult with your stylist prior to your appointment to ensure excellence.
[salon]718 offers a complimentary consultation service for clients to get to know their stylists, share inspirational images, and discuss the execution of the perfect color. Here are some ideas to keep in mind while walking into a color consultation at [salon]718.
Whisper with natural highlights Talk with subtle fantasy color Scream with full-on fantasy color
- The maintenance of my desired color
- The integrity of my hair
- Whether I want my hair to whisper, talk, or SCREAM
Understanding the maintenance of your desired color will not only make it easier to schedule your services but also help you budget correctly. If coming in every month for a double process service does not agree with your monthly finances than this should be communicated with your stylist before performing the service. That way you’re able to agree on maybe a balayage service that requires less frequent salon visits.
