Choose one detail to build around
Bring a reference and name the part that matters most: the color placement, contrast, texture or outline. Compare it with a real portfolio example, then discuss your starting hair and the time you want to spend on your routine. An illustration can communicate a mood; it cannot predict your service result.

Choose the details you want to keep
Save two or three references and explain a specific detail in each: a sharp outline, a bright color panel, a soft fringe, or a strong contrast. Include something you do not want. This gives a consultation more direction than asking for an exact copy of a photograph taken under different lighting.
Goldie’s Stafford portfolio includes custom color, cuts, locs, braids and accessories. For an alternative look, compare the magenta panel, white-and-blue cut and geometric mohawk examples. You may like the color from one image and the shape from another; discuss that combination rather than assuming the same process will suit every head of hair.
Describe your starting point honestly
Share recent photographs in ordinary light, approximate length, previous color or lightening, and any extensions you currently wear. Mention home color and earlier transformations even if they are no longer obvious. Goldie can discuss the service scope and whether a staged approach needs to be considered; do not assume a dramatic change fits into one appointment.
Match the look to the time you have
Think about your typical morning, workplace requirements and how often you want to return for upkeep. A style you enjoy maintaining can be very different from a look chosen only for a single photograph. Ask what styling, refresh appointments and home products would be appropriate for the particular plan.
If the main goal is vivid color, use our color-maintenance planning guide to make a list of questions. If you prefer a removable change, explore hair accessories for everyday wear and cosplay.
