Why does a new color guest complete a consultation first?+

The consultation collects the hair history, goals, and photos needed to identify the appropriate next step before an appointment is chosen.

What should I include in my consultation?+

Provide your contact information, current color, recent color history, your goal, and clear photos of your current hair. You can also add an inspiration photo.

Do I need an inspiration photo?+

No. An inspiration photo is optional, but it can help communicate the direction you are considering.

The form is designed to be completed in a few minutes when your current-hair and inspiration photos are ready.

Where are uploaded consultation photos stored?+

Photos submitted through the consultation form are stored in private Cloudflare R2 storage used by the website backend.

Where can I see live appointment availability?+

Kelly’s live availability is managed in Square. The consultation is the first step for new color guests; returning guests can open Square directly.
