What to Expect at a Hair Extension Consultation
A consultation is the foundation of every successful hair extension experience. It sets expectations, protects your hair, and ensures the method you choose fits your lifestyle—not just your aesthetic goals.
Here’s exactly what happens during a professional hair extension consultation.
STEP 1: HAIR & SCALP ASSESSMENT
Your stylist evaluates:
Hair density
Strand thickness
Scalp health
Existing damage or breakage
This determines which methods are safe—not just possible.
STEP 2: LIFESTYLE QUESTIONS
You’ll be asked about:
Styling habits
Workout routines
Maintenance tolerance
Desired longevity
Extensions should fit your life, not complicate it.
STEP 3: METHOD RECOMMENDATION
Based on your hair and lifestyle, your stylist recommends:
Tape-ins
Sew-ins
K-tips
Custom wigs
This is guidance—not pressure.
STEP 4: MAINTENANCE & TIMELINE EDUCATION
You’ll learn:
How often maintenance is required
How long the style lasts
What aftercare looks like
Transparency prevents disappointment.
STEP 5: PRICING & EXPECTATIONS
Clear pricing and realistic outcomes are discussed upfront so there are no surprises.
FINAL THOUGHTS
A consultation isn’t an extra step—it’s the most important one. It ensures your extensions enhance your look without compromising your hair health.
Education doesn’t end with learning — it shows up in how you’re serviced, supported, and styled.
