7 Things to Prepare Before Your First Salon Visit

A little preparation helps your stylist understand the result you want. Use this checklist before visiting Craft Collective in North Hills or Canonsburg.

  1. Choose the correct location

    Check the address and travel time for North Hills or Canonsburg before booking.

  2. Describe your goal

    Bring a few reference photos and explain what you like in each: shape, length, tone, placement, or styling.

  3. Share your recent hair history

    Tell your stylist about previous salon services and at-home color so the consultation starts with the right information.

  4. Explain your daily routine

    Discuss how you style your hair, the products you use, and the time you want to spend maintaining the result.

  5. Discuss upkeep before committing

    Ask which follow-up appointments your chosen style or color may need.

  6. Ask for an individual estimate

    Confirm what is included and whether the plan involves more than one visit. Hair length, density, current color, and the goal can affect the plan.

  7. Confirm the booking details

    Review the appointment type, location, stylist, time, and current policies in the booking system.
