Your colouring goals
The decision to colour your hair is personal–and often exciting! Maybe you know exactly what you want. Maybe you’re keen to try something completely different. Perhaps you'd love to enhance what you already have. All of these will produce beautiful results.
When you come in for a consultation to our hair colour salon in Kitsilano, we’ll discuss your ultimate colour goals. We encourage you to bring pictures or other visual indicators to this appointment.
Of course, it’s also important to know what you don’t want or like about colours, and the process itself. Perhaps we can make it better! We want you to have a great experience. This information helps us be on the same page and ensure you get exactly what you’re looking for.
Your hair - colour, texture, porosity, health, past treatments
A number of factors affect the colouring process and determine what products to use. For example, hair texture impacts how quickly colour absorbs. Fine hair absorbs colour quickly. Coarse hair takes more time but holds onto colour longer, afterwards. Curl pattern matters too. We’ll ask about previous treatment to better understand your hair. We may do a strand test to see how your hair and skin respond.
The colouring appointment
Once the colourist understands your goals and hair, they can give you details like how long it will take and how much it will cost. They’ll discuss how you can prep your hair before you come in, as well as how to maintain and care for your hair afterwards.
We hope this helps you know what to expect during a consultation with one of our professional hair colourists. Hope to see you soon!
