The Caring Hair Boutique

---

The very best way to discus your hair care needs is to have a consultation. If you don’t feel able to visit a salon, then ask a hairdresser or specialist to make time to speak with you on the phone – most are very happy to do so.

A consultation is normally offered free of charge by regular hairdressers but you may need to pay for specialist consultations - so do check first. A consultation is an ideal way for you to discus your needs without the commitment of a full paying appointment.

Phone first
Call first to check what services are available, the costs involved and to book a consultation. It is also worth checking how soon an appointment for services can be available. For example, some salons may fit you in for a quick consultation but not be able to offer you a service appointment for several weeks – so do check. Most NHS prescription wig suppliers will need your referral letter in advance of your appointment.

Having had a consultation - If you then feel comfortable with the services offered then you can go ahead and book an appointment, which will normally be at a later date.

Tip - Home hairdressing may offer you a more private and comfortable option, particularly when discussing hair loss issues. If visiting a salon do ask if a private room is available if this is more comfortable for you.
Colour - If you are having colour or a technical service you may need to have a sensitivity test (this is free and only takes a few minutes).
