Walking into a hair topper consultation for the first time can feel overwhelming. I get it—it's vulnerable, it's new, and you probably have a hundred questions swirling in your head.

That's exactly why I've designed our consultations to be the opposite of overwhelming.

Before You Arrive

There's nothing you need to prepare. Truly.

Some clients like to bring photos of their hair before thinning started—that can be helpful but isn't essential. Others bring pictures of styles they love. And some arrive with nothing but questions, which is perfectly fine.

What matters most is that you come as you are.

What Happens When You Walk In

First things first: you'll be greeted and shown to our main salon floor—it's a quiet, comfortable space where we can talk without interruptions.

I'll start by asking about your hair journey. Not to pry, but to understand:

  • When did you first notice changes in your hair?
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What's your daily routine like?
  • What does your ideal outcome look like?
These questions help me understand not just what solution might work, but what will fit seamlessly into your life.

Exploring Your Options

Once I understand your situation, we'll look at different topper options together. This isn't a high-pressure sales pitch—it's education.

You'll learn about:

Base types — Different constructions work better for different levels of thinning Hair lengths and textures — From short styles to long, straight to wavy Colour matching — This is where the magic happens. Getting the right colour blend is crucial Attachment methods — Understanding how toppers stay secure

The Try-On Experience

This is usually the moment everything changes.

For many clients, trying on a topper for the first time is emotional. Seeing yourself with volume again—with the hair you remember—can be quite powerful.

We'll try different options so you can see what suits you. There's a mirror, of course, and we'll take our time. No rushing.

Questions Welcome

Throughout the consultation, ask anything. Seriously.

Common questions include:

  • How long do toppers last?
  • Can I style it with heat?
  • What about swimming or exercise?
  • How do I care for it?
  • What happens as my own hair changes?
I'd rather answer twenty questions than have you leave with uncertainties.

No Pressure, Ever

Here's what won't happen: I won't pressure you to buy anything.

If a hair topper isn't right for you, I'll tell you. If you need time to think, take it. If you want to come back with your partner or a friend for a second opinion, brilliant.

This is your journey, on your timeline.

What Happens Next

If you decide to move forward, we'll discuss:

  • Custom ordering vs. ready-to-wear options
  • Timeline for fitting
  • Care kits and maintenance
  • Ongoing support
If you decide to wait, that's equally valid. The door is always open.
