Another Look at the Dynamics of Consultation
Interview with Brent Hardgrave and Cheyenne Strametz
When it comes to Consultation, every salon professional is going to have their own style; However, there are some things that should be consistent no matter where you go. Every client should be welcomed as they arrive, their information should be collected, and her needs should be assessed.
When it boils down to it, a successful Consultation is so much more than that. In a way, a Consultation is like a first date. How? It’s the beginning of a relationship that should be built on trust and transparency. Once you get to know your client on a personal level and earn their trust, then you are able to share your expertise and recommendations.
As a Hair Loss Specialist, you are the artist. The designer. The expert. Not only is your job to give the client what they want, but also SHOW the client what they want. Be bold enough to make color and style recommendations for their hair but also for their overall look. This is a delicate line to walk, as you always want to speak gently and nurture the client’s inner beauty with your comments and suggestions. We have had some questions from our HLU students about Consultation, so what did we do? We turned to the experts!

Hair Color That Treats the Cuticle
As I’ve said many times before, I don’t just recommend any product I find on the shelf. I’m picky about the products I use because I only want the best service and solutions for my clients, and the products we use as salon professionals play a huge role in the service we provide.
With that being said, today I’m going to introduce my friend Larry Fussell, an Eslabondexx distributor located in a small town near Atlanta, GA. I had the pleasure of connecting with Larry recently, and I loved hearing how his story with Nouvelle USA began and where he is now – a true expert in beauty products. Although Nouvelle USA has many amazing products available for purchase, there is one line in particular that I can’t brag enough about – The Eslabondexx Color products!
All of the Eslabondexx Color products have a one-of-a-kind hair Protection System built right in. What does that mean? Well, your typical color products tend to leave hair dry, damaged, and fragile. With Eslabondexx, the color products strengthen, condition, and energize the hair as it colors. How do I know? My team and I personally tested these products. We experimented with over 30 hair pieces to see if this stuff really works. What did we find? This coloring and conditioning cuticle treatment is truly the best out there.

He is also the founder of the Bauman Certified HairCoach program, a program that is dedicated to training and empowering salon and medical professionals to care for clients experiencing hair loss.

Trichology: The “CPR” of Hair Loss
Interview with Emmanuel Paul, Trichology Specialist
Today I am excited to bring you an interview with Trichology Specialist Emmanuel Paul, in which we discuss the science of trichology. Trichology is the study of the hair and scalp – and we all know that a healthy scalp is the basis for a healthy head of hair. Therefore, it’s important for you, a salon professional, to build a relationship with a center near you that specializes in trichology so you can provide holistic treatment for hair thinning and loss.
Hair thinning and loss causes many women and men to go down a painful path. It can lead to low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, and social isolation. If your clients are experiencing hair thinning and loss, you’ve witnessed these detrimental feelings. Your clients have probably tried all of the tricks – like wearing hats, styling their hair in a particular way, using specialty shampoo to hide or prevent your hair thinning, but the results haven’t changed.
