Consultations at Mint Hair Crafting
Clarity + guest care.
At Mint Hair Crafting, every service includes a thorough consultation at the start of your visit.
However, we also understand that sometimes you need more time, more clarity, or more guidance before booking a big change or a major service — especially when it comes to color corrections, extensions, non surgical hair replacement, gray blending, vivid transformations, and other significant changes.
That’s where our dedicated consultation comes in.
When Should You Book a Consultation?
A 30-minute consultation is recommended if:
You’re making a big change (dark to light, light to dark, long to short)
You’ve had previous box dye or unknown color history
You’re considering vivid or fashion colors
You’re unsure what to book and want guidance first
You feel anxious about timing, maintenance, or investment
You want to explore a long-term hair goal with a clear plan
This dedicated time allows us to slow down, assess properly, and create a realistic, healthy strategy for your hair.
What Happens During a Consultation?
We reserve 30 minutes of focused time with your stylist to:
Assess your hair’s current condition, density, and texture
Test strands (see below)
Review your color history (including chemical treatments)
Discuss inspiration photos and expectations
Talk through maintenance and home care
Provide a realistic timing and investment estimate
Build a plan for your first service and long-term results
This appointment is about clarity and confidence — for you and your stylist.
What Is a Test Strand?
A test strand is a small, controlled section of hair that we color or lighten before committing to a full service.
This is especially helpful when:
There is box dye or heavy previous color
You are lifting significantly lighter
Your hair’s integrity is a concern
You’re correcting banding or uneven tone
A test strand allows us to evaluate:
How your hair lifts
How long it takes
How your hair’s integrity responds
Whether adjustments are needed
If a test strand is recommended, we will discuss that during your consultation.
This protects your hair, ensures more accurate timing, and allows our stylists to approach your service with greater precision and confidence.
