Frequently asked
Quick answers about consultations, timing, and booking.
Do I need a consultation for colour correction?
Yes. Zara checks your colour history, porosity, hair strength, and the safest next step before any colour is mixed.
Can I have a fixed quote before the colour is mixed?
Yes. Zara checks the hair first, then confirms the quote before colour is mixed. If the safest plan is staged, she explains that before you commit.
Can all correction issues be fixed in one visit?
Not always. Banding, brass, colour build-up, and fragile ends can need staged correction. Zara will explain what can safely happen now and what should wait.
What if my hair is too fragile for immediate correction?
Zara will pause and choose the gentler first step. That may mean toning, treatment, or booking the correction across more than one appointment.
What should I tell Zara before the consultation?
Tell Zara about box colour, toner, lightener, henna, colour remover, keratin, or smoothing treatments. Photos of your current hair and goal colour also help.
Book the safest next step.
Book the consultation first. Zara checks what your hair can handle, explains the safest plan, and confirms the quote before colour is mixed.
