IN CHAIR / 23A reference. A conversation. A direction.
Your goalYour routineYour next chair
01

Choose a few references you can explain.

You do not need a perfect description of the technique. Bring images that show the shape, tone or movement you like and point out the specific detail in each. A photo of something you want to avoid can also help clarify the conversation.

02

Be ready to describe your starting point.

Think through your previous services, home colour, treatments and everyday styling routine. Tell the stylist what you enjoy about your hair and what feels difficult. Ask the salon whether there are any preparation instructions before your consultation.

03

Talk openly about time and budget.

Explain what you are comfortable spending and how often you want to return. Ask the stylist to describe the recommended first step and what it involves. IN CHAIR helps organise the consultation and, when you are connected to your stylist, gives you a place to revisit your shared hair plan.

Good questions

A little clarity.

Do I need to know the service name?

No. Describe the result and the details you like. Your stylist can explain the appropriate service after assessing your hair.

Should I mention home colour?

Yes. Share relevant colour and treatment history so your stylist has a more complete starting point.

Where can I find a stylist?

Use IN CHAIR’s directory to search available published profiles by service and location, then confirm details through the stylist’s booking process.
