Who needs additional consultation time
This add-on is for clients facing complex services such as color corrections, major transformations, or multi-step treatment plans that require detailed planning. The Additional Consultation Time is a 30 MINUTES session priced at $45 and gives both client and stylist space to evaluate goals without taking time from the booked service.
Clients who commute along Rivers Avenue or work variable shifts often use extra consultation time to align salon planning with their schedules. Whether you live in Park Circle, travel from Joint Base Charleston, or are visiting before a flight from Charleston International Airport, the session helps set realistic steps and timing for each stage.
What happens during the consultation
During the 30 MINUTES consultation we focus on understanding your hair or beauty history, reviewing reference images, and mapping out the sequence of services needed. For color corrections or layered transformations this means discussing possible appointment stages, timing between services, and any trial sessions needed for events like weddings or performances at the North Charleston Coliseum.
The session is practical and scheduling-minded: we determine whether a single appointment will suffice or if multiple visits are required, and identify potential constraints such as evening or weekend availability for shift workers. This planning helps minimize time in the chair and coordinates follow-ups for clients across North Charleston, Ladson, Summerville, and surrounding areas.
Booking and preparation tips
When you add Additional Consultation Time, note the $45 fee and the 30 MINUTES duration so you can plan travel and work breaks accordingly. Bring photos, a list of past salon services or color formulas if available, and be ready to explain any previous at-home treatments — those details materially affect the recommended plan and sequencing.
After the consultation you’ll leave with a clear next-step outline: recommended services, approximate number of appointments, and scheduling suggestions. The goal is to reduce surprises during service days by clarifying scope up front and making it easier to coordinate around commuter schedules, event dates, and evening or weekend availability.
