Color is priced per technique: single process, partial highlight, or full highlight. Travel fees often add a flat amount based on distance. Ask for a written quote that breaks down labor and products.
A professional hairstylist carries sharp scissors designed for cutting, not household shears, plus thinning shears and texturizing razors. They should use clips, combs with fine teeth, sectioning clips, and a professional blow dryer with at least 1800 watts. Good products matter, so ask if they bring sulfate-free shampoo, quality conditioner, and heat protectant before confirming the appointment.
The hairstylist should disinfect tools between clients using hospital-grade sanitizer or Barbicide solution. Capes, towels, and cap covers must be clean or freshly laundered. Sharp tools like razors should be single-use or properly sterilized. If you see dirty implements or reused cotton pads, cancel the service to avoid scalp infections or cross-contamination from previous clients.
Expect professional scissors, clippers, foils, brushes, and a hoodless dryer or diffuser. They should carry ammonia-free or low-ammonia color, developer 10 to 40 volume, toner, and heat protectant. Ask which brand they use. If you have sensitive skin, request a patch test with the exact product 24 hours before.

A standard cut with wash and blow-dry runs 45 to 75 minutes. Color application plus processing adds 30 to 90 minutes depending on technique: global color, highlights, or balayage. Add 15 to 20 minutes if bleaching is involved. Ask for a written timeline so you can plan your day around it.

Show reference photos and describe your daily styling routine, including how much heat you apply. Ask which products the hairstylist recommends for your hair type and how often you should trim.

Clear communication prevents mismatched results and protects your hair from unnecessary chemical stress or over-processing.
