A successful hair transformation starts with one fundamental step: a professional hair consultation. Whether you’re dreaming of a color change, a Brazilian Blowout, or a complete style refresh, skipping this crucial conversation can leave you disappointed.
Far too many people leave the salon feeling let down, not because of poor technique, but because the stylist didn’t understand their vision. Miscommunication, rushed decisions, or unclear expectations lead to unwanted results.
A hair consultation is designed to prevent that. It’s a personalized conversation where you and your stylist align on your hair goals, past treatments, lifestyle, budget, and more. This step ensures realistic, stunning results that suit you.
At Haste Urban Hair Spa in Medford, we offer in-depth, judgment-free consultations to get your hair journey started right. We listen, advise, and guide you with professional insight and care. Keep reading to learn what to expect and how to book yours.
The result? No more surprises. No more stress. Just hair that reflects who you are, and makes you feel amazing every day.
What is a Hair Consultation

A hair consultation is a dedicated conversation between you and your stylist to discuss your hair goals, expectations, past treatments, and overall vision. Think of it as your hair planning session, a chance to align on the outcome before any scissors or color touch your strands.
Whether you’re exploring a low-maintenance balayage, booking a Brazilian Blowout, or coming in for a transformation, this step ensures that the stylist can evaluate your hair’s condition and provide expert guidance.
💡 Tip: Be honest about your hair history. Even that boxed dye from 8 months ago matters.
What Happens During a Hair Consultation?

At Haste Hair, a consultation is relaxed and friendly. We’re here to listen and help. Here’s what you can expect:
- A stylist welcomes you and examines your current hair
- We ask about your goals, likes, and dislikes
- You’ll be asked questions like:
- Are you maintaining or making a change?
- What do you love/hate about your current look?
- What treatments or colors have you done in the past year?
Once we understand your hair’s story, we recommend services tailored to your needs. This is also your time to ask questions, like:
- How long will this take?
- What products will be used?
- What’s the maintenance like?
- How do I communicate my vision effectively? For tips on speaking with your stylist confidently, check out our guide on How to Talk to Your Hairstylist.
💡 Tip: Bring photos of what you love and what you don’t want; both help clarify your vision.
How to Prepare for a Hair Consultation

Preparation is essential for your hair consultation. While we can help you figure out what you want to achieve with your hair, it always helps if you already have a vague idea.
Access your current hair: Think about how your hair behaves. Is it dry? Color fading quickly? Grows out unevenly? Write down any issues so nothing is forgotten.
Define your hair goals: Want something dramatic or just a refresh? Be specific. Notes in your phone can help keep your thoughts organized.
Do some research: Check out our hair services page or blog to understand the options available. This helps manage expectations and the budget.
Gather Inspo Pics: Pinterest boards and Instagram saves are perfect. Here are some places to look:

Share your hair history: List treatments you’ve had in the last year, color, bleach, keratin, etc. This helps us plan safely and effectively.
💡 Tip: Don’t forget to let us know if you’ve used any DIY or box dyes. This affects our approach.
