Before the Client Sits Down: Preparing a Hair Extension Service

Bohyme Journal · At the worktable

A considered hair extension service begins before placement. It starts with the approved brief, the correct hair and a prepared worktable. This is the organizational side of professional work: confirming the details so the appointment can focus on the person in the chair.

Start with the agreed brief

Review the consultation notes before preparing the service. Confirm the intended length, fullness, everyday style and any preferences about preserving the client's natural haircut. Note changes the client has mentioned since the original conversation.

Keep the proposed method and product selection connected. The hair ordered should support the service the installer has approved, rather than requiring the professional to improvise around an unexplained substitution.

A useful preparation question is: “Do the hair, the service record and the client's expectations describe the same result?” Resolve a mismatch before moving to the installation stage.

Check the delivered hair against the order

Compare the product labels with the approved collection, construction, texture, shade, length and pack configuration. Check the supplied quantity separately from the intended installed amount.

Follow the seller's inspection conditions before opening or altering the hair. If a label, shade selection or pack detail is unclear, clarify the exact item while its identifying information is available. Do not rely on appearance alone to decide that a different item is equivalent.

Use Bohyme's quantity guide to keep packs, pieces, grams and rows distinct, and the color consultation guide to support the shade discussion.

Organize for the chosen technique

Set out the tools and supplies required for the approved attachment method. Wefts, tape-ins and individual tips need different preparation; the selected construction should guide the setup and the professional’s handling of the hair.

Keep shades and lengths clearly identified when the service combines several products. Check the seam before any width customization: a traditional Hand-Tied Weft should not be cut, while a cuttable format follows its own preparation guidance. Keep the packaging details with the service record.

Prepare the end of the appointment too

Plan the finishing cut, the client’s everyday styling demonstration and the care handover before the installation begins. Allow time to explain how the hair should be brushed, washed and dried with the actual attachments in place.

Record the Bohyme products used and arrange the next maintenance step. A complete appointment leaves the client with both a finished style and clear instructions for caring for it. The Bohyme hair-care guide provides a useful reference for that conversation.
