Use this when
Use this after gathering a client's color history and goals but before quoting, scheduling, or promising a result. It's especially useful for corrections, major lightening, box color history, compromised hair, tight deadlines, and clients expecting low-maintenance results from high-maintenance color.
You'll need
- Target result
- Color and chemical history
- Current canvas and condition
- Photos or visual notes
- Lifestyle and maintenance tolerance
- Budget
- Timing
- Service constraints
You'll get
- One documented service direction, the evidence supporting it, any tests or conditions required before booking, clear stop points, realistic fallback options, and talking points that explain the decision without promising an outcome.
By the end of this playbook
You will have:
- One documented service direction, the evidence supporting it, any tests or conditions required before booking, clear stop points, realistic fallback options, and talking points that explain the decision without promising an outcome.

Her budget is $400 per visit, she can attend twice, and she prefers appointments every 12 weeks.
