The consultation lasts about 30–45 minutes; we assess hair condition, discuss goals, perform color matching, evaluate suitable extension methods, and create a customized plan including estimated timeframes and pricing. Bring photos and any concerns for a focused discussion.

We evaluate hair density, texture, scalp health, lifestyle, and desired maintenance level. During the consultation we recommend tape, fusion, sew-in, or clip-ins based on those factors and show samples so you can choose confidently.

Yes. Color matching is a key part of the consultation. We compare extension shades to your natural hair, use swatches under different lighting, and may recommend color services to ensure flawless blending before installation.

Consultation fees vary; many salons charge a modest fee that may be applied toward installation services. At Shades of Color Salon we discuss pricing after assessment and provide a transparent estimate for extensions, installation, and recommended maintenance.

Expect 30–60 minutes depending on complexity. Simple color matching and recommendations are quicker; detailed planning for bespoke installations or multiple method options may require more time. We allocate enough time to answer your questions and outline a clear plan.

Bring photos of desired styles, list of current hair products, and any extension history. Arrive with dry, unstyled hair so we can assess natural texture and length. Sharing lifestyle and maintenance preferences helps us recommend the most suitable options.
