Virtual Consultation

Q: Who should book a Virtual Consultation before a chemical service?

A Virtual Consultation is ideal for first-time guests seeking chemical services—color, blonding, balayage, corrective color, or keratin smoothing. We review photos or live video, hair history, goals, and maintenance to create a tailored plan and recommend next steps.

Q: What should I prepare for my Virtual Consultation appointment with stylist?

Prepare clear photos from multiple angles, inspiration images, a list of recent chemical services and products, and any questions. Natural lighting and a quick video of hair texture and length help your stylist assess condition and recommend realistic options.

Q: How long does a Virtual Consultation typically take with your stylist?

Most consultations run 15–30 minutes depending on complexity. Corrective or multi-step plans may need more time. We’ll discuss goals, suggested services, approximate timing, and a preliminary estimate to help you decide about booking an in-salon appointment.

Q: Can I get accurate pricing from a Virtual Consultation before booking services?

We provide ballpark pricing and session estimates based on your goals and hair condition. Final cost depends on length, density, and complexity. A precise quote is given after an in-person assessment when your stylist can evaluate hair health and needs.

Q: Will the Virtual Consultation include a haircut assessment or only chemical services discussion?

Virtual Consultations focus exclusively on chemical services—custom color, blonding, balayage, corrective work, and keratin treatments. Haircut consultations are completed in person during your scheduled haircut appointment at the studio.

Had a wonderful experience! As a brown guy with curly hair, it was my first time getting a proper stylist to cut, style, and color it, and Raul was very empathetic and great at talking me through different considerations and styles. Very happy with the experience and results, hope to come back soon....more

It has taken me many years to find a stylist that can work with my hair as a guy. I have very straight soft hair. It does not hold a shape well. It is very difficult to style at medium or long length. Most male hairstylist do not have the experience or breath to go beyond a taper fade, which does not work for my hair and desired look. Here I am able to get a haircut that makes me feel like my hair could actually be on a European runway. I feel like my hair goals and whims are always entertained, and I am very personally respected when I come into the shop. Often times I’m able to relax and start dozing off or zoning out in the middle of a Stressful workday . 6/5 stars....more
