Mastery in color services takes time
I have had color corrections that can take hours one process after another to fix the mistakes that someone either did to themselves or worse some inexperienced stylist had made horrible decisions either in their choice of product, amounts of chemicals, or flat out rushed the process to try and wrap the service up timely. The results were a disaster. I let clients know a realistic idea of the time involved 3 hours, 6 hours, and yes even sometimes 9 hours depending on the corrective measures that need to happen. Nobody wants to be in the chair that long but to get the most amazing results you need to spend the time !
Sometimes client indecisions can be costly
I have had decades of clients that want something but don’t know exactly what it is. This can be costly as a client goes home lives with their hair for a while, and then decides they need to change it again. With lots of experience I have honed my skills in trying to read the tea leaves of what a client is trying to achieve, and I help them make better decisions. This helps them not fall into the pitfalls I have seen over and over, when someone comes to me after not getting the results they were looking for from some other stylist that didn’t guide them correctly. I pride myself in achieving the dream scenario for my clients, but remind them that they need to spend the time it takes in the chair !
