Sample input
Appointment: 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Service: dimensional blonding correction with uneven artificial pigment through the mids and fragile lighter ends. Goal: improve blend and brightness without sacrificing length. Plan: begin in the resistant back band, isolate the hairline and porous ends, test zones separately, rinse according to readiness, reassess before toning, and dry fully before refinement. Constraints: assistant available 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, one shared shampoo bowl, and another client at 3:30 PM. Stop conditions: weaker elasticity, loss of integrity, product limit reached, or a reaction requiring attention. The client understands staging may be necessary but strongly prefers a same-day finish.
