What is the primary goal of a color consultation?

The primary goal of a color consultation is to determine the client's desired shade and any possible allergic reactions. Understanding what the client wants is crucial in providing a satisfactory outcome that aligns with their expectations. This includes discussing the specific color shades they have in mind, their skin tone, and any previous coloring experiences, which can all influence the final choice.

Additionally, addressing potential allergic reactions is vital for the client's safety. Many hair coloring products contain chemicals that can cause adverse reactions in some individuals. Therefore, assessing allergy history ensures that the chosen products will not pose a health risk to the client, making it an essential step in the consultation process.

While discussing trends or selling products may have their place in a client’s overall experience, they do not represent the fundamental purpose of the initial color consultation. The focus should always be on client safety and satisfaction regarding their personal preferences for color treatment.
