Hair extensions: the most common questions from clients
Have you been asked this?
The client will definitely ask a lot of questions before deciding to have extensions, coloring or a haircut. And the master must always be ready to answer everyone.
HJ Magazine has identified 4 questions that clients often ask before getting hair extensions. And the experts answered them. It's worth taking note.
“I'm concerned about how to care for my hair extensions and keep them clean between salon visits. Do you have any advice?"
“Good home care is essential, but more importantly, you need to advise the client on how to properly care for their hair,” explains Victoria Lynch, founder of Remi Cachet. – This should be done not only because of the beautiful appearance, but also so that the extensions can be worn for as long as possible. Give specific, practical tips on how to use hair care products, how to comb your hair, or how to style it before going to the gym and before going to bed. Discuss and plan a complete care program with the client and tailor it to the individual's lifestyle. The new year has just begun, and this is the perfect time to instill the right habits in our clients.”
“I will be getting hair extensions for the first time. How do I choose the right density and length?”
One of the most common questions from those thinking about getting hair extensions is about their natural look. How to explain to a client that it is possible to achieve the most natural effect with hair extensions?
Charlotte Boyes of Hairdreams Salon says: “First, take your client to a consultation with a qualified extension specialist who will explain in detail how many sections and what length they will need.
If you do not choose the correct weight that is attached to each strand for lengthening, then the hair will be very pulled, and the client will experience tension and discomfort.”
“How do I choose the right extension method that suits my hair type and lifestyle?”
Once your client has decided on extensions, the next question will be about the best option to choose. The market for materials and products for extensions is wide, and there will definitely be a suitable option for a specific client. Louise Jenkins, creative manager and trainer at Great Lengths UK, comments: “Make sure your staff can choose the right extensions, the right hair density and all the necessary nuances.”
“Can you choose the right extensions for my dyed hair?”
Choosing hair color is one of the most difficult tasks, and it becomes more complicated if you add extensions to the coloring. Therefore, it is not surprising that the client is worried about this. Balmain CEO Liane Hoskyns-Brown says: “We select color using the Balmain Color Ring during the consultation. If there is no suitable match, then we ask the client to send us a photo of his hair color taken in natural light. Then the Balmain technical consultant recommends a suitable color from our range of paints. If the match is not close enough, the hair extensions can be dyed to match the shade as closely as possible by mixing dyes.”
