How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
Before your appointment, there are a few steps to help make the experience smoother. First, bring in inspiration photos showing colors you love, along with any you want to avoid. This makes it easier for our stylists to understand your vision. It's also wise to discuss any previous color treatments and share your everyday lifestyle; this helps us recommend the best options for you.
