This guide focuses on first appointment for lived-in brunette. Use it to prepare a specific salon conversation, then confirm the plan with the stylist who assesses your hair.
Before the first visit
Confirm that the selected appointment fits your goal for lived-in brunette. A brunette base stays visible while selected areas add movement and tone. If the booking menu does not make the choice clear, call the salon before reserving a different service just because it has an opening.
Bring a current photo and ask: “Which brunette tones should stay dominant in the finished look?” Explain relevant hair history and how much time you normally spend on styling.
At the consultation
Small changes can be easier to judge against the current base in ordinary light. Agree on the first result, the included appointment components and the estimate. Ask which parts can be done in the first visit and whether any decisions need to wait until your hair is assessed in person.
Before you leave
Ask how to maintain the result from lived-in brunette, what should prompt a follow-up and how to book the next visit. If all-over brunette color was discussed, be clear about which plan you actually chose so the aftercare and return instructions match the finished service.
