Is there anything I should or shouldn't do with my hair before my appointment??

For any new a little preparation can make such a difference! Our colour stylist Niamh has made a few notes that she would recommend .

"Here's what I'd recocolmmend before we meetโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

๐ŸคŽ ๐—•๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—ฌ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฅ ๐—œ๐—ก๐—ฆ๐—ฃ๐—ข!
Save those Pinterest photos and screenshots. Even if we've talked about them at the consultation, it's helpful to have them on the day and any other inspo you may have found

๐ŸคŽ ๐—ฌ๐—ข๐—จ ๐——๐—ข๐—ก'๐—ง ๐—›๐—”๐—ฉ๐—˜ ๐—ง๐—ข ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ฉ๐—˜ ๐—ช๐—œ๐—ง๐—› ๐—™๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—›๐—Ÿ๐—ฌ ๐—ช๐—”๐—ฆ๐—›๐—˜๐—— ๐—›๐—”๐—œ๐—ฅ. In fact, having a couple of days of natural oils on your scalp can help provide a protective barrier, especially when bleaching. So don't worry about freshly washing your hair before you arrive! ๐Ÿซถ
We'll make sure your hair is thoroughly cleansed with a lovely colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner.

๐ŸคŽ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—”๐—ฆ๐—˜ ๐——๐—ข๐—ก'๐—ง ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ฉ๐—˜ ๐—ช๐—œ๐—ง๐—› ๐—ฌ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฅ ๐—›๐—”๐—œ๐—ฅ ๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ ๐—ข๐—™ ๐—ฃ๐—ฅ๐—ข๐——๐—จ๐—–๐—ง๐—ฆ.
That being said arriving with a full head of product whether it's root spray , gel or hairspray can be a problem . Too much can mean we have to wash your hair first as these products cause a barrier and will affect our colouring process

๐ŸคŽ ๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐—˜ ๐—ฃ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—˜๐——
Some colour lour appointments can take a good few hours, so make sure you're comfy and ready for a little salon day! โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฑ Bring a drink, snacks, your phone charger and anything else you might need so you can sit back and relax .

๐ŸคŽ ๐——๐—ข๐—ก'๐—ง ๐—จ๐—ฆ๐—˜ ๐—” ๐—›๐—ข๐— ๐—˜ ๐—ง๐—ข๐—ก๐—˜๐—ฅ ๐—ข๐—ฅ ๐—–๐—ข๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฅ ๐—•๐—˜๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜ ๐—ฌ๐—ข๐—จ ๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐—˜ ๐—œ๐—ก!
Tempted to give your colour a little refresh before your appointment? Hold off! Purple shampoo, colour-depositing masks and at-home toners can affect how your hair looks and how your stylist approaches your colour. Let us work with your current canvas!

๐ŸคŽ๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐—˜ ๐—ช๐—œ๐—ง๐—› ๐—ฌ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฅ ๐—ค๐—จ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—œ๐—ข๐—ก๐—ฆ! Feel free to ask any more questions that we didn't cover on your consultation day

Ultimately, my goal is to create a colour that you LOVE, while keeping your hair's condition, your lifestyle and your long-term hair goals in mind. ๐Ÿค"
