Hi David, thanks for seeing me today! I'm ready for a change, but I'm not entirely sure what I want.
No problem, Sarah! That's exactly what I'm here for. Let's take a look. Have you considered a bob, or perhaps something with more layers?
I'm open to a bob, but I'm worried it might be too severe. I was also thinking about getting some highlights, maybe a warmer tone for summer.
A warmer tone would look great on you! We could do some subtle balayage; it's very natural-looking and low maintenance. As for the bob, we could soften it with some face-framing layers.
That sounds perfect! What about a deep conditioning treatment? My hair has been feeling a bit dry lately.
Absolutely, we can definitely add that on. We have a fantastic hydra-therapy treatment that would be ideal for dry hair. It will leave your hair feeling soft and shiny.
Wonderful! So, a softer bob with face-framing layers, subtle warm highlights, and the hydra-therapy treatment. Does that cover everything?
That sounds like a plan! Let me confirm the pricing with you before we start. The total for everything will be...
