The hair extension consultation is an extremely important part of getting successful hair extensions. You need to come to your appointment with a list of questions to ask the stylist.
The consultation is also a great time to get a feel for the hair stylist. Does he or she answer your questions? Does he or she communicate well with you? These are all very important factors since hair extensions are a rather big financial investment, not to mention the affect they will have on your natural hair.
We have put together 10 suggestions for you to prepared for your hair extension consultation. There is a more elaborate list in our E-Book: Hair Extensions-The official consumers guide to getting hair extensions.
