Think your stylist already knows exactly what you want? They probably know your hair pretty well—but your hair, lifestyle, and preferences can change. That’s why a quick consultation before your service is always a good idea.
At LaDonna Marchiano’s Salon, we believe great hair starts with great communication.
What Should You Talk About?
What Do You Love About Your Hair?
Tell your stylist what you want to keep. Maybe it’s your length, color, highlights, or the way your hair moves.
What Isn’t Working?
Is your color fading too quickly? Are your highlights too light? Is your haircut difficult to style? Be honest about what you’re experiencing.
What Are You Envisioning?
Bring inspiration photos if you have them! Photos are a great way to communicate color, tone, length, or overall style. Your stylist can then help adapt the look to your hair.
What Fits Your Lifestyle?
How much time do you want to spend styling? How often do you want to visit the salon? Do you want something low-maintenance, or are you comfortable with more upkeep?
What Has Been Done to Your Hair?
Previous color, highlights, lightening, smoothing treatments, or at-home color can all affect what is safely possible.
Let Your Stylist Be Your Guide
A consultation is a conversation—not just a list of instructions.
Your stylist can assess your hair’s condition, explain what is realistic, recommend what will work best, and create a plan to keep your hair healthy.
Sometimes the best plan is a gradual one. Protecting the integrity of your hair is always part of achieving beautiful results.
Even Long-Time Clients Need a Refresh
It’s easy to say, “Just do what you did last time.” But maybe you’re ready for something softer, brighter, richer, or simply different.
Before your next appointment, ask yourself:
- What do I love?
- What do I want to change?
- What isn’t working?
- What would make me feel amazing when I leave the salon?
Then tell your stylist!
Because even after years together, a fresh conversation can lead to your best hair yet.
