What is one of the objectives of a hair consultation?

One of the primary objectives of a hair consultation is to set realistic expectations regarding results. During a consultation, it is essential for the cosmetologist to communicate what is achievable based on the client's hair type, condition, and desired outcome. This helps to ensure that clients have a clear understanding of what they can expect from the services being provided, thereby fostering trust and satisfaction in the hairstylist's abilities. Setting realistic expectations can also prevent potential disappointment and encourages open communication about the client's preferences and needs.

While determining hair color, analyzing scalp health, and selling hair products may be components of a consultation, they are secondary to the fundamental need to align client expectations with professional capabilities. This alignment ultimately contributes to a successful hair service experience.
