What should you do to prepare for a client consultation?

Reviewing the client's service history is essential for preparing for a consultation as it provides valuable insights into their previous services, hair type, preferences, and any specific concerns they might have had. This information allows the cosmetologist to tailor recommendations based on what has worked well or not in the past. Understanding the client's history can help build trust and rapport, and ensures that the stylist can offer customized solutions that take into account any unique needs or previous experiences the client has had.

While asking for their favorite products, preparing tools, or checking salon promotions can be useful, these actions do not provide the same depth of understanding of the client’s personal history and specific needs. Engaging with the client's service history fosters a more personalized approach, enhancing the overall consultation experience.
