Start by asking what the client likes about the photo: the shape, fringe, color, volume, or finish. Explain the difference that matters for their hair, offer an adaptation that preserves their favorite feature, and agree on the result before starting.
Consultation Phrase
What do you like most about this look? Let's use that as our starting point and talk through how we can adapt it for your hair and styling routine.
Step-by-Step Practical Workflow
- Step 1: Understand the Client's Requirements: Ask what they want to achieve, what they want to keep or change, and how much daily styling they want to do. Use the client's inspiration photo to clarify which features matter most.
- Step 2: Assess the Starting Point: Assess the client's hair in person. If using Coiffa, provide client photos together with the requirements discussed; add the Inspo photo as supporting context. Explain relevant differences in density, length, growth patterns, or styling.
- Step 3: Offer an Adaptation: Suggest a version that preserves the feature the client values most. Coiffa can help you explore differences and possible adaptations for you to review.
- Step 4: Agree on the Plan: Explain what you propose to change, what the result may look like, and the home styling involved. Ask the client whether that matches what they want before starting.
Illustrative Consultation Example — Adapting a Full Fringe
- Reference Request: The client likes a thick, full fringe in an inspiration photo.
- Observed Difference: During the consultation, you find that the client's front section is less dense than the reference appears to be.
- Adapted Option: Discuss a lighter fringe that keeps the face-framing effect, and explain how its fullness would differ from the photo.
- Consultation Wording: The face-framing shape is the part you like. Your front section has less density, so the fringe would look lighter than this photo. Would you like to explore a softer version with that same framing effect?
