Yvonne's Tips, Tricks, & FAQ

July 2012

Color Talk

"Many colorists fall into the Fast Food Hairdressing trap--they skip the consultation, grab the swatch book, tell clients to pick out their color, and they put it on. What happens when the client is unhappy with the outcome? You hold up the book and say, 'Well this is the color you picked out. See it's exactly the same color as the swatch.' We need to get rid of the Fast Food Mentality and enter the Fine Dining. 'Let me walk you through our specials. May I suggest the fish?' Clients are looking to you to know what's best."

EXTENSIONS

Get an Extension
Hair extensions are a great option for adding low-commitment, trendy styles to clients. Want your extension work to shine brighter than a Fourth of July firework? Follow these tips from Hair Locs Specialist Yvonne:
Talk it Through—Extension consultations are critical and they must be thorough. This is often an emotional decision and a significant investment. Be sure your client
understands the service and care completely, and be sure you understand exactly what she wants and expects.
Color First—Hair Locs are custom matched extensions before you apply them to the head. No damage to you own hair!
Pick Your Pattern—Extensions are always placed in a pattern, i.e. a triangular pattern. Determine the pattern you will follow before you begin applying the extensions.
