The Secret to a Perfect Consultation? Knowing These 3 Things About Yourself
We love a good transformation moment - but the magic really starts before the scissors or the colour bowl comes out. It starts with the consultation.
A great consultation isn’t just about showing us a photo and saying “like this.” It’s a two-way conversation. One where we get to know your goals, your lifestyle, and what makes you feel most like you. Whether you’re visiting our hair salon Brisbane for the first time or you’re a regular, this step is key.
So how do you make the most of it? Know these three things about yourself - and you’re halfway to hair that truly works for you, not just on you.
1. How You Actually Style Your Hair Day-to-Day
Let’s be real - there’s how we want to style our hair, and then there’s how we actually do it.
Do you:
Air-dry and go?
Love your Dyson but only when you have time?
Pull it back 90% of the week?
Only style it when there’s an occasion?
Knowing your real-life styling habits helps us recommend a cut and colour that’s practical, not just Pinterest-worthy. We’ll guide you toward looks that work with your effort level - whether that’s 20 minutes every morning or 2 minutes once a week.
2. What You Love (and Don’t Love) About Your Hair
This is the golden insight we always ask for.
Tell us:
What feels easy?
What drives you crazy?
What’s your favourite way your hair has ever looked?
What are you hoping to avoid?
You don’t need the technical terms - just be honest. Whether it’s “I hate how it flips out here” or “I loved it when it was more golden,” it helps us shape a style or tone that feels like you.
Pro tip: Bring photos of yourself, not just inspo models. Seeing what you loved in the past is way more helpful than a one-size-fits-all trend.
3. How You Want to Feel
This one’s big - and we always ask it in some way.
Are you looking to feel:
More polished?
More powerful?
More effortless?
Like a new version of yourself?
Hair is personal. Your consultation hair dresser Brisbane should be too. When you share how you want to feel walking out of the salon, we can bring that energy into the result.
