What to Expect from Your Consultation at Arena Creative Hair

At Arena Creative Hair, we believe that a thorough consultation is the key to achieving your dream hair. Our in-depth process ensures that we understand your unique features, hair history, and goals before beginning any colour or style transformation. Here’s what to expect when you come in for a consultation at our salon.
Preparation – Please Arrive Makeup-Free
To get the most accurate assessment of your natural skin tone, we kindly ask that you arrive at your consultation without makeup. This allows us to determine whether you have a cool or warm skin tone, which plays a crucial role in choosing the most flattering hair colour for you. After your consultation, you are welcome to use our mirrors or bathroom to reapply your makeup if needed.
What We Cover in Your Consultation
During your consultation, we take a holistic approach to finding the perfect hair plan tailored to you. Here’s what we will cover:
✅ Skin Tone Assessment – We determine whether you have a cool or warm skin tone to guide our hair colour recommendations.
✅ Hair Condition Evaluation – We assess the health of your hair to ensure it can withstand colouring or other treatments.
✅ Hair History (Last 2-3 Years) – Understanding your hair’s history helps us make informed decisions to achieve your goals safely.
✅ Photo Documentation – We take photos of your current hair as well as your inspiration images to ensure we’re aligned on your vision.
✅ Face Shape Analysis – We discuss how different haircuts and styles can enhance your facial features.
✅ Hair Tests – This includes:
  • Porosity Test – To check how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture.
  • Strand Test – To see how your hair reacts to colour.
  • Skin Test – To ensure there are no allergic reactions to hair dye.
    ✅ Aftercare Recommendations – We suggest the best products and treatments to maintain your hair’s health post-salon visit.
    ✅ Expected Timeline & Process – We provide a realistic guideline on how long it will take to achieve your hair goals.
    ✅ Answering Your Questions – We are here to address any concerns and ensure you feel confident in your choices.
Next Steps
Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we may not always be able to provide a final quote immediately. However, we will pass the consultation details to our receptionist, and we can then:
  • Book your appointment that day, if everything is in place.
  • Conduct additional tests if needed and get back to you with results before proceeding.
  • Discuss a tailored plan and move forward based on your preferences and hair goals.
Additionally, we will send you personalised links to skin tone-based hair colour recommendations and face shape haircut suggestions to help guide your decision.
At Arena Creative Hair, we are committed to helping you make the best choice for your hair while ensuring the process is smooth and enjoyable. If you’re ready to start your hair transformation journey, book your consultation today! ✨
