This guide focuses on choosing the appointment for platinum blonde. Use it to prepare a specific salon conversation, then confirm the plan with the stylist who assesses your hair.
Choose the goal before the booking label
Platinum describes a very light blonde appearance with a carefully chosen finish. To book platinum blonde, explain the finished result and ask which menu item matches it. Similar labels can describe different appointment blocks, especially when a consultation, cutting or finishing is also needed.
Give the salon useful information
Describe your current length, texture and hair history, then explain what should change. The starting color and hair condition determine what is realistic in the first appointment. Ask: “Can my current hair support this degree of lightening now?” If you are deciding between platinum blonde and a softer lived-in blonde, say so before the visit.
Select the actual studio
Craft Collective has a North Hills studio at 2014D Babcock Blvd, Pittsburgh, and a Canonsburg studio at 115 W Pike St. North Hills has online booking. Canonsburg is by appointment; call 724-514-7231 to schedule. Confirm the selected stylist, service and location rather than assuming every appointment is available at both studios.
