Colour Consultation & Skin Test

What the Colour Consultation & Skin Test includes

This appointment is designed to turn “I fancy a change” into a clear, bookable colour plan.

• A discussion of your current colour, previous colouring, and any sensitivities or reactions
• A check of your hair condition and any factors that affect colour results (porosity, banding, regrowth, previous box dye)
• Guidance on the most suitable colour service for your goal (for example, all-over colour, highlights, balayage, or a refresh)
• A realistic plan for the end result and the maintenance involved between appointments
• A skin test application, where required, recorded against your client profile
• Clear next steps for booking your colour service at the right time
• A £30 payment taken at the appointment, added to your account and deducted from your colour service total

Colour Consultation & Skin Test is most useful if you are new to salon colour

This is the right booking if you have not had a colour service here before, or you are planning a noticeable change. It is also recommended if you have a history of sensitivity, or you are unsure which colour service to choose. This service is for clients aged 16 and over.

Skin test timing: why it needs doing 48 hours before colour

The skin test must be completed at least 48 hours before your colour appointment. If you have had a colour service here within the last 6 months, call before booking so the salon can confirm whether a new skin test is required.

After the appointment: booking your colour service

Once your consultation and skin test are complete, you can book in for your colour service with a clear plan in place. If you have inspiration photos or notes about what you like and dislike, bring them along as it helps confirm tone and placement. Cancellation charges may apply if you need to change your appointment.
