- Sharing how I do a thorough consultation with my hair clients to make sure we're on the same page! Consultations are THE MOST important step during a service, in my opinion. So it's crucial that you do a good job so the rest of the appointment goes smoothly and everyone is happy in the end! Is there anything you do differently during your consultations that I didn't mention? Let me know in the comments! :)

Girl you're gonna make such a badass business woman! I definitely see you owning your own salon and being very successful at it!!
Ahh wow thank you! :)
Just wanted to let you know I’m currently in cosmo school and our instructor uses your videos as assignments where after we watch we write a paper on things in your video we would implement in the salon. Thank you for such helpful info ❤️
I'm a hairstylist from Russia. Your videos help me to work with English-speaking clients
You should do a video talking about good hair shampoos/conditioners at the drugstore, and the ones that are really harmful to your hair! I would love to see that since im not too informed on the topic, and you must have an interesting and professional approach to the topic 💕
Girl this was so helpful! Consultation is definitely my weekness😳
Saaame especially being so new 😭
Hi Sam Vay, thank you for your TH-cam hair consultation! What I learned from you is: 1. You and your clients time and money is mutually valuable. 2. Hair consultation is an art and a systems process of mutual relationship development. 3. Learn from each client everyday. Excellent communication and approachable advice for cosmetologist and barbers! Thank you again.
omg every hair salon needs you!! 😭
Lollll thank you!
You should teach classes in the future! You are so good at giving advice and as a future cosmetologist I know your tips will help me.
Thank you!

Laura Orozco thank you! That means a lot 😊
Thanks so much I go back to work tomorrow from lock down so a quick brain cap works well thanks Sam :)
New subscriber! Literally binge watching your videos 😍 I start beauty school in 3 weeks! So excited
That's awesome! Good luck :)
can you do a more in depth draping tutorial for all the different services on yourself or your friend? Love your videos girl!
I wish I could’ve came in for consultation!!!! But the over the phone one was just as good 😂 can’t wait to see you this month & have you slay my hair!
Yesss! Can't wait! :)
Ty so much today is my first day on the salon floor at my beauty school 🤝🤞🏼
Thank you for this video really great info .👌
I would love for you to do my hair.
I definitely get a better/ more personal consultation if I'm gace to face with them. I'm still in school so I'm pretty much just verifying what they told the front desk but I feel like the client really appreciate s a face to face consultation vs a tall through the mirror approach
New subscriber found you the other night and binge watched your videos 😂 I start beauty school on September 2nd girl and I’m so nervous 🤯
Phoenix Parenteau congrats!!! Don’t be nervous!
How is school going so far ?
Hi, this is great you’re great at explaining why you ask certain questions. Do you have a list of questions that you would ask the client when you’re doing a colour consultation?
Love it ❤️
Ty for this this is gonna solve ny problem in tle
Thank you for this video!
I love your videos! They help me grow to become a better cosmetologist! Any tips on taking amazing pictures of your clients hair? Your Instagram pictures are stunning
I'm planning on filming that very soon!
Love your videos. Can you please recommend different shampoos and conditioners?
Thank you I had a consultation and she needs your help on how to conduct an appropriate consultation.
Hi there! what kind of salon products/brands would you recommend for heavily bleached hair??
You are a smart and hard worker. You do hair so lovely. 😊
Kate Sally thank you so much!
I seriously wish you were in Chicago because bible anytime I’ve been to a hair stylist I’ve had bad experiences to where I haven’t even been since my wedding in 2017
How do you determine if they are using good hair products?
When do I do the strand test?
I always ask if their occupation limits what can be done or limits what they’re asking for. But that’s mainly because I focus on lifestyle hair, hair for specific occupations and lifestyles.
Shampoo conditioner brand is soooooo important
Thank you
Hi Sam It is great informative. I am still learning colour theory. I need some help from you.Jamie Melbourne Australia
What if they refuse take home product
have you ever had anyone walk out because the price was too much and then later come back with botched hair color? if so can do you do a video about these situations and how you dealt with it.
I haven't had that happen to me personally yet (although I have had new clients come in that previously went somewhere else and had botched work). I can do a video on that, but my best advice is
1) don't trash talk the other stylist/salon to the client, regardless of how bad it actually is lol
2) stand your ground on the price. explain that it is going to be even MORE expensive now that it's a correction and that they may not leave with their goal hair during this first appointment because a correction takes time and sometimes requires multiple sessions.
@@styledbysamvay the woman who corrected my color pretended that she knew the stylist from the previous salon I went to and I fell for it.. she didn't disclose the price of what my hair would cost.. end result was 600$ and my scalp is in pain. This was May 2019.
Love your videos! But i think there is nothing wrong with suave ,I actually think is better then the expensive brands . It does wonders on my hair . Expensive doesn"t mean the best you know = )
Cheaper products are cheaper for a reason. Suave is actually really harsh on the hair, which especially isn't good if your hair is color processed. I'm all for drugstore products when it comes to makeup, hairspray, dry shampoo, etc. But for shampoo/conditioner and heat protectants, majority of the cheaper stuff isn't good. If Suave is working for you though, do your thing! I just don't recommend it to my clients. :)
Not only is suave harsher but it has a higher ph value jacking open the cuticle layer of your hair ever time you wash. Adding color on top of this and your expensive salon color will surely was out.
How can we undersell them? Can you cover that? Thanks 😊
Yoly M do you mean upsell? Just keep it honest. I never try talking my clients into something that they don’t really need. The second someone feels like you’re trying to sell them things just to make more money, you’ve officially lost their trust. When you’re asking them about their hair and what they would like to change - actually listen. And take a look for yourself and see what stands out to you. Is their hair dry? Could it use a treatment? Do they need a haircut? And when you’re suggesting additional services, explain and educate them on why you feel they need it and what difference it’ll make for them.
Good to see you. I guess you have to check your sound system or microphone for better sound. I'm just guessing.
Thanks! Yes I've been slowly working on trying to have a better overall set up.
You look/sound like Kendall Jenner!
