Pre-salon prep

Before your salon appointment

Salon decisions involve cut, color, and time. Previewing the visible result before sitting in the chair makes the consultation faster and the result closer to what you actually want.

Use RegretCam to preview cut and color direction at home, narrow the decision, and walk into the salon with a calm brief.

How to test it

  1. Preview the cut direction first, then the color direction.
  2. Decide whether you are doing cut, color, or both this visit.
  3. Save the strongest preview as your visual reference.
  4. Write a one-line brief about length, fringe, and color contrast.

Decision checks

  • Do you know the length and fringe you want?
  • Do you know the color direction and contrast?
  • Is the appointment realistic for both cut and color?

FAQ

How do I prepare for a salon appointment?

Preview cut and color on your face, narrow the decision to one or two options, and bring a one-line brief.

Can I do cut and color in the same appointment?

Sometimes. Check with your stylist - cut and color often work better in sequence if the change is dramatic.

What should I tell my stylist first?

Describe the cut goal first (length, fringe, shape), then the color goal (tone, contrast, maintenance).
