What is an appropriate method for determining a client’s preferred lash style?

Conducting a thorough consultation is the most appropriate method for determining a client’s preferred lash style because it allows for a comprehensive understanding of the client’s desires, preferences, and any specific requirements they may have. During the consultation, the specialist can engage in direct dialogue with the client, asking open-ended questions that encourage them to express their personal style and any previous experiences with lash extensions. This personalized interaction helps to build trust and ensures that the specialist can provide tailored recommendations based on the client's individual features, lifestyle, and desired look.

Showing various catalogs can be helpful, but it may not provide the depth of understanding needed to gauge the client's preferences accurately. Catalogs might not cover all the unique options that may suit the client’s personality or needs. Planning a follow-up session is beneficial for maintaining communication and gathering feedback but is not effective for the initial determination of style preferences. A quiz about their preferences may seem like a good idea, but it may not capture the nuances of the client’s desires and does not facilitate real-time dialogue that can lead to better understanding.
