The Hair Brief

A clearer place to start

What does your hair need?

Tell us what you want to change and how much upkeep fits your week. This guide suggests where to start; Rachel checks your hair before confirming the plan.

Start with the goal

Dimensional brunette balayage created by Rachel Charles

Bring the goal and the hair history.

Goal first. Formula second.

Why clients choose Rachel

Tell Rachel how you wear your hair.

The air-dry days count. So do the mornings you have ten minutes, the color you used last year, and how often you want to return.

The formula

Tell Rachel what you like about the photo

Is it the bright pieces around the face, the soft root, or the shape? Rachel uses those details, your hair history, and your routine to plan the work.

The boundary

Healthy hair always wins

Your hair's condition sets the pace. A big color change may need more than one visit, and Rachel will explain that before starting.

At home

Know how to care for it at home

Rachel explains the color choices and home care. Ask how to style it on a wash day and when to come back.

Prefer less small talk? Ask for a quiet appointment. We’ll discuss your hair and check in as needed, then give you room to settle in. Plan your first visit

The service edit

Find your next appointment.

Compare services and prices, then request a time. New color clients start with a $20 consultation, credited toward the service if you book.

The working principle

Color + Dimension

Color that has a plan after the appointment

Gloss, custom color, balayage, roots, platinum, and corrective work. The right starting point depends on your history and how much change you want.
