A hair colour consultation is the easiest way to get clear on what will suit you, before you commit to a full colour appointment. If you are thinking about a change, want softer grow out, or you are not loving your current colour, we will talk through your options in plain English. You will leave with a practical plan for shade, placement, and upkeep, based on your hair condition and your day to day routine.

More information

What your hair colour consultation covers

A short, focused appointment designed to remove the guesswork and set you up for a colour you can live with.

  • A chat about what you like and do not like about your current colour, plus your ideal end result.
  • A quick look at your hair condition, previous colour, and how your hair behaves.
  • Shade guidance that suits your skin tone, natural depth, and how often you want to be in the salon.
  • Technique options explained simply, for example highlights, balayage style softness, all over colour, or a refresh.
  • A realistic plan for maintenance, fading, and how the colour will grow out.
  • Clear next steps for booking, timing, and anything needed beforehand, such as a patch test.

A hair colour consultation for changes, corrections, and low maintenance colour

This is ideal if you are going lighter or darker, covering greys, blending regrowth, or moving away from banding and uneven tones. It is also helpful if you have had box dye, colour build up, or mixed results elsewhere. We will be honest about what is achievable in one appointment, and what might need a staged plan.

How the 10 minute hair colour consultation works

We start with a quick conversation about your hair history and your goal, then look at your lengths, ends, and regrowth in natural light where possible. You can bring a couple of photos, but we will translate them into something that works for your hair now. If you are unsure, we will narrow it down to two or three clear options.

After your consultation, a clear colour plan you can follow

You will know what to book, what the end result should look like, and how to look after it at home. If a patch test is required, we will explain when to do it and how it fits around your appointment. You will also have a better idea of how often you will want a refresh, so your colour stays wearable between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a hair colour consultation before booking?
If you are booking a simple root tint or a regular refresh you may not need one. If you are changing tone, going significantly lighter or darker, or you are unsure what to book, a consultation keeps things clear and avoids surprises.
What should I tell you in a colour consultation?
Let us know about any previous salon colour, box dye, henna, or colour removers, even if it was months ago. It also helps to mention heat styling, swimming, and any sensitivities, so we can plan safely and sensibly.
Can you help me choose between highlights, balayage, and all over colour?
Yes. We will talk through the look you want, how you wear your hair, and how often you want to maintain it. Then we will recommend the option that best matches your hair condition and your preferred grow out.
Will I need a patch test for hair colour?
Sometimes, yes. If it is required, we will let you know during your consultation and explain exactly when to pop in for it. It is a simple step that helps keep colour services safe.
What if I do not know what shade I want?
That is exactly what the consultation is for. We will use your natural colour, skin tone, and the level of upkeep you want to guide the decision. Bringing a couple of inspiration photos can help, but it is not essential.
