Refresh Your Consultation Skills

Why is a thorough consultation so important for every extension client?

A great extension service starts with a great consultation. This is your opportunity to assess your client’s natural hair and scalp, understand their lifestyle and hair goals, manage expectations and recommend the most suitable method, shade and result.
Allow around 20–30 minutes for a thorough consultation, giving you enough time to complete the necessary assessments and make an informed professional recommendation.

Start with a Hair & Scalp Assessment

Before discussing methods or shades, assess the condition of your client’s natural hair and scalp. This should include elasticity and porosity checks and a pull test, alongside manually and visually assessing the scalp.
Record your findings on the client’s consultation form so you have a clear record to refer back to throughout their extension journey.

Understand Your Client

Use the consultation to find out more about your client’s lifestyle,

Your Clients’ Ultimate Summer Hair Survival Guide

How Can You Help Clients Protect Hair And Extensions During Summer?

Sunshine, sea and pool days may be part of your clients’ summer plans, but they can take a serious toll on both natural hair and extensions. UV exposure, chlorine, salt water and heat can leave hair feeling dry, dull and harder to manage - often leading to increased tangling, dehydration and loss of shine.

For salons and stylists, summer is the perfect opportunity to educate clients on preventative haircare. The key is focusing on two things: protecting the hair before damage happens and restoring hydration afterwards.

The Beauty Works Solaré Sunshield Collection has been designed as a complete before-and-after summer system, helping clients maintain softer, smoother and healthier-looking hair all season long.

Why Does Summer Cause Damage To Hair And Extensions?

While hair doesn’t burn like skin, prolonged UV exposure can still weaken the hair fibre and strip moisture
