A good hair colour result starts before any product touches your hair, it starts with a clear, honest consultation. If this is your first time booking a colour service with us, here is how to prepare so we can give you the most accurate advice and outcome.
Quick Answer
Come with reference photos, be honest about your hair’s colour and chemical history, avoid washing your hair the day of your appointment, and allow extra time in case a strand test or patch test is recommended.
Bring Reference Photos, Not Just Descriptions
Colour names and descriptions mean different things to different people. A photo of the tone, depth and dimension you like helps your colourist understand exactly what you are picturing, and helps set realistic expectations if adjustments are needed for your hair type.
Be Honest About Your Hair’s History
Previous box dye, keratin treatments, or chemical straightening can all affect how new colour processes. Always mention any treatments from the past six months, even if you think they are unrelated, since this genuinely changes how we approach your service.
What to Expect During the Consultation
- A look at your hair’s current condition, porosity and previous colour history.
- A conversation about your desired tone, maintenance preference and lifestyle.
- A strand test if you are making a dramatic change or have chemically treated hair.
- A clear explanation of the process, timing and starting price before we begin.
A Note on Pricing
Global hair colour starts from AED 400, but final pricing depends on hair length, density, condition and the amount of product required. We will always confirm this with you clearly before starting any service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the consultation free?
Yes, consultations are complimentary and are the best way for us to recommend the right colour, treatment and pricing for your specific hair.
How long should I allow for a first colour appointment?
We recommend allowing extra time beyond the colour service itself for consultation and, if needed, a strand test, especially for first-time clients or significant colour changes.
