Sample input
Client goal: Move from repeated permanent black home color to a dimensional neutral brunette with brighter pieces near the face before a wedding in four months. History: Three black box-color applications during the last year. Highlights about two years ago. No reported henna, relaxer, or smoothing service, but the product brands are unknown. Canvas: Level 4 regrowth, nearly black mids, warm porous ends, a dark band behind the ears, dense medium-coarse hair, and fragile hairline pieces. Limits: No lightener overlap on fragile ends, five-hour appointment maximum, $700 first-visit budget, and appointments no more often than every eight weeks. Options: Dimensional brunette correction, slow highlight transition, or deposit-only blend. No all-over platinum service. Pricing: $125 per hour, possible added product charge, and $200 deposit. Priority: Protect condition.
