Extension Consultation Guide — Stylist Framework

A complete consultation framework designed to help stylists deliver high-level, structured extension consultations that lead to better installs, better clients, and better long-term results.

This guide walks you through the full consultation process — what to ask, what to observe, and how to translate that information into a clear plan covering placement, method, maintenance, and expectations.

Built as a step-by-step system (outlined from page 2 onward), it ensures every consultation is intentional, thorough, and aligned — before you ever pick up a tool.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify realistic client goals and prevent expectation mismatch

• Assess hair history, scalp health, and contraindications

• Analyse lifestyle factors that affect longevity and maintenance

• Map bond placement based on density, parting, and wear habits

• Confidently close consultations with clear pricing and commitment

This isn’t a checklist — it’s a framework for running consultations that protect your work and elevate your results.

Designed for stylists who want consistency, clarity, and higher-level installs — every time.
