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 meetโฆ ๐๐ผ

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

We'll make sure your hair is thoroughly cleansed with a lovely colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner.

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

Some colour lour appointments can take a good few hours, so make sure you're comfy and ready for a little salon day! โ๏ธ๐ฑ Bring a drink, snacks, your phone charger and anything else you might need so you can sit back and relax .

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!

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. ๐ค"
