A good extension consultation compares more than a color shown on a screen. Bohyme’s physical references let a stylist assess shades and textures beside the client’s natural hair, then record a more specific product choice.
Begin with the Bohyme Standard Color Ring or the Bohyme Ethos Color Ring, depending on the collection. Add a Texture Book when the consultation also needs to compare weft construction and texture.
Choose the ring for the collection
| Reference | Collection scope | Primary use |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Color Ring | Classic, Luxe, Essential and Private Reserve | Compare the selected collection’s shade direction |
| Ethos Color Ring | Ethos | Compare the Ethos palette, including ash and platinum directions |
A shared color code does not remove the need to check the selected collection and product. Use the appropriate reference and confirm the shade on the selected product page. A sample ring shows a palette; it does not promise every color in every texture, length or attachment format.
Match the area where the hair will blend
Compare the natural hair through the root area, middle and ends. An extension worn beneath longer layers may need a different balance from a piece placed near the face or along the part. Move the sample into the intended position rather than holding it only at the top of the head.
Assess lightness and tone separately. Two shades can be similarly light but differ in warmth or ash. For rooted or highlighted hair, look at how the transition will appear along the full length and how several tones work together when the hair moves.
Use clear, ordinary lighting and consider the client’s normal environment. Photographs can record a consultation, but lighting, exposure and screen settings can change how a shade appears.
Choose the correct Texture Book option
Bohyme offers two versions: the Texture Book with a complete set of two color rings and the Texture Book without color rings. Check which one you need before ordering, particularly if the salon already owns the rings.
The book lists samples across constructions such as hand-tied, machine-tied, seamless, Genius and tape-in formats, alongside a range of textures. Its purpose is to support comparison. Sample colors and lengths may vary.
Use the samples to explain the relationship between construction and texture. A client can compare a weft edge separately from the movement of the hair. That helps keep the conversation focused on the finished result and the professional method selected to achieve it.
Turn the consultation into an accurate order
- Record the collection and full product name.
- Confirm the construction: weft, tape, tip, clip-in or coverage piece.
- Record the texture, length and complete color code.
- Check the selected product’s current options and required quantity.
For a blended design, write down each shade and its intended placement. Keeping those notes with the service record makes it easier to review the result or plan a future adjustment without relying on memory.
Care for consultation references
Store rings and samples so the hair stays organized and labels remain readable. Avoid permanent color or cutting changes to a reference you still use for matching. Replace or review a sample if its condition no longer provides a reliable comparison.
Color-tool questions
Does every Texture Book include color rings?
No. Bohyme has separate products with two color rings and without color rings. Select the version that matches the salon’s needs.
Can the Standard Ring replace the Ethos Ring?
Use the Ethos Ring for the Ethos palette. The Standard Ring references Classic, Luxe, Essential and Private Reserve.
Does a ring color guarantee product availability?
No. Confirm the chosen shade, length and texture on the exact product page before ordering.
