Why Great Hair Always Starts With a Consultation

By Nichares Hairdressing, Taunton

If you’ve ever sat in your car outside a hair salon wondering “What if they can’t do what I want?” or “What if I book the wrong thing?” - you’re not alone.

At Nichares Hairdressing in Taunton, we see it all the time. New colour and extension clients often come in carrying a mix of excitement and nerves. They’ve saved inspiration photos, followed stylists for years, and yet still feel unsure about taking that first step.

That’s exactly why we believe great hair always starts with a consultation.

Not a rushed chat.
Not guesswork.
But a calm, honest, no-pressure conversation that puts you first.

The biggest mistake clients make before booking hair colour or extensions

One of the most common things clients say to me is:

“I didn’t think my hair could ever look like that.”

Many people walk into salons believing:

  • Their goal hair isn’t realistic

  • They need to know exactly what to book

  • Asking questions will make them look silly

  • A consultation means committing to a full appointment

The truth? None of that is true at Nichares.

Our free hair consultation in Taunton is designed specifically for:

  • First-time colour clients

  • Blonde and balayage clients

  • Anyone considering hair extensions

  • Nervous or unsure guests who just want clarity

There is no obligation and absolutely no pressure to book.

Why a consultation is essential for colour, balayage & extensions

Hair colour and extensions are never one-size-fits-all.

Balayage, blonding and extension work depend on:

  • Your natural base colour

  • Your hair history

  • Hair density and condition

  • Lifestyle and maintenance preferences

  • Budget and long-term goals

Skipping a consultation often leads to:

  • Unrealistic expectations

  • Unexpected costs

  • Results that don’t suit your lifestyle

  • Hair that doesn’t last or feel manageable

A consultation allows us to make informed, professional decisions - together.

What happens in a Nichares consultation?

Our consultations are relaxed, welcoming and completely judgement-free.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. We listen first
You don’t need the right words. You don’t need to know the difference between balayage and highlights. We’ll guide the conversation and help you articulate what you love, what you don’t, and how you want your hair to feel.

2. Honest, expert advice
Whether you’re considering blonde, balayage or hair extensions (tapes, bonds or wefts), we’ll explain:

  • What is achievable

  • What may need a phased approach

  • How to protect the health of your hair

3. A personalised hair road map
You’ll leave knowing:

  • The best service for your hair

  • How many appointments it may take

  • How to maintain your colour or extensions

  • What results to realistically expect

4. Transparent pricing
No surprises. No vague estimates.
You’ll receive an accurate quote so you can decide in your own time.

5. You choose what happens next
If you’re ready, you can secure a booking.
If not, you leave informed, empowered and confident, with zero pressure.
