What’s the most important part of your hair appointment? The heavenly head massage or the glossy finish? Both are great, but it all starts with the consultation. The conversation between stylist and client that happens before we step anywhere near the colour bar. It’s the make or break of beautiful hair.

As a stylist, it’s our job to do the asking and at MANE consultation skills are central to our education - but consultation works best when it’s a two-way street. We’ve broken down some key questions for you to consider, why we ask what we do and what you can bring to the conversation. Together we can make sure we’re on the same path to the hair of your dreams.
