A more thoughtful start

Your first appointment is designed to give us the time and space to do it right- from consultation to finish, without rushing decisions or details. This allows me to understand your hair, your habits, and what actually works for you day-to-day.

During your first visit I will go over with you how to actually wash you hair at home (YES, your not doing it right), how to detox the hair, what steps you can take at home to get the best results. Because of how I teach my clients to care for their hair, products last longer, scalps stay healthier and at the end of the year you spend less than you would in a traditional luxury salon.

“No“ maintenance, “low” maintenance, and “high” maintenance all have the same “maintenance”. Even with a great cut hair does not do it self.

Most importantly we go over what not to do. Having great hair is not complicated, trying to figure out what order to do everything in can be. SO, lets make it clearer for you.

WHY FIRST VISITS ARE DIFFERENT

New clients naturally need more time. Additionally returning client’s who have not have not been back to the salon in the last 12 months or more; just need more time. Clients can go longer between services because the hair will grow out beautifully. Through 10 years of being open it’s taken a long time to refine the booking process. This is to ensure we have time to talk, and it’s not going over into an existing clients appointment time. When you become a regular client you wouldn’t want a new clients time taking away from your appointment. So let’s slow it down and do it right.

Timing is everything.

Not because things are complicated- because clarity matters.

We’ll Cover :

• A proper consultation (lifestyle, maintenance, past challenges)

• Hair assessment ( texture, density, growth patterns)

• Have a look at your scalp health

• A refined cut tailored to how you actually wear your hair

• Styling guidance you can realistically recreate

• What order to apply your new hair care routine at home

• Product recommendations only if they make sense to you

• Using professionally recommended professional hair care at home does save money. You just have to use it correctly. Use it wrong and you’re washing your hard earned money down the drain.

NO GUESS WORK. NO RUSH.
