Virtual Consultation
Your dream hair starts here — and you don’t even have to leave home.
How to submit your photos to us for a consultation!
Watch the video, then follow these quick steps:
1
Step outside — natural sunlight
gives us the clearest view of your hair.
2
Pull your hair forward over your shoulders so
we can see your length and texture.
3
Take a side photo — capture one clear
shot from either the left or right side.
4
Turn around and snap a photo
of the back of your hair.
5
Text your photos to Studio 285 at
706-945-0175 along with your name and
any hair goals or notes.
That’s it! Once we receive your photos, we’ll review them and send you a personalized estimate within 24–48 hours.
Photo Guidelines
Take photos in natural light (preferably near a window or outdoors).
Make sure your hair is down and detangled in all photos.
Include front, back, and side views of your hair.
Focus on your hair — your face does not need to appear in the images.
Avoid filters, flash, or dark lighting — clarity helps us assess your hair condition.
Send recent photos only, taken within the last week.
The clearer the photos, the more accurate your estimate will be.
All consultations provide an estimated cost based on the photos you submit. Please note that this price is subject to change.
The final installation price may vary depending on the actual condition and specific requirements of your hair at the time of your installation appointment.
A 100% accurate assessment of your hair can only be made during an in-person consultation.
Additionally, the cost of the hair itself may fluctuate based on availability at the time of your appointment.
As a result, the final cost for both the hair and installation may differ slightly from the initial estimate.
Rest assured, we strive to provide you with the most accurate pricing possible based on the information available at the time of your consultation.
We appreciate your understanding!
