How to Succeed in a Professional Color Consultation

A structured consultation avoids the majority of color disappointments. Here is the framework we teach in training.

Start with the technical history

Coloring, lightening, smoothing treatments, home products: the history determines the feasibility of the project.

Observe before listening to the visual reference

Analyzing the base, porosity, and distribution of lengths allows for reframing unrealistic inspiration with concrete arguments.

Formulate a proposal in stages

An ambitious goal is often planned over several appointments. Announcing it during the consultation protects the relationship of trust.

Document and validate

Note the formula, times, and the result obtained. Reproducibility is a powerful professional argument.
