Get answers to common questions about Color Consultation.

A Color Consultation evaluates your hair's condition, porosity, and color history, then recommends techniques and products suited to locs and natural textures. It minimizes damage risk, sets realistic expectations, and creates a tailored plan for achieving and maintaining your desired color.

Consultations typically run 45–75 minutes depending on hair length, density, and complexity of goals. Time includes texture assessment, color mapping, swatching, and a maintenance plan. If you plan to proceed with a color service, we’ll schedule or estimate additional salon time.

We provide informed previews using swatches, photos, and experience, but natural hair variables like porosity and previous treatments affect outcomes. The consultation minimizes surprises by recommending realistic shades and processes, and a strand test or patch test can confirm final results.

When done correctly and with healthy hair, color need not permanently alter texture. We select gentle techniques, monitor processing, and recommend conditioning and protein protocols. The consultation identifies risks and proposes alternatives, reducing long-term damage and preserving loc integrity.

Bring photos of color ideas, recent dye history, and current product lists. If you wear extensions or have loc accessories, bring samples or photos. Sharing your maintenance routine and lifestyle helps us recommend realistic, sustainable color plans and product selections.

Our consultation fee varies based on complexity but reflects the expertise and customized plan you receive. Fees start at $40 and are applied toward your color service when booked within a set timeframe. Contact us for exact pricing and scheduling.
