How long does color take, is the consultation free, whom do I ask? A hair salon explainer video shows the first visit before anyone walks in. ![Electric hair styling tools in a salon](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/hair_tools.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [cottonbro studio / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-and-gray-corded-devices-3992848/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Show the first visit Follow a new client from online booking through the consultation at the chair to checkout. Explain why some services need a consultation first and roughly how long an appointment takes. Drawn characters are enough. You do not need before-and-after photos of real clients. ## What to bring to the brief Your service and price list, booking steps, first-visit notes and photos of the salon. Show prices as they appear on your list. Where a price depends on time and effort, say so openly. ![Two chairs beside a window in a waiting area](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/waiting_room.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Ân Văn Trịnh Thiên / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/chairs-in-a-waiting-room-21404971/).

Ask new clients which service they would book. The style consultation itself still happens in the chair. ## Related reading - [Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [Make beauty-device modes less of a guessing game](https://caprivideo.com/industries/ecommerce/beauty-device-product-videos) ## Related pages - [Industry group: Local businesses & retail](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail) - [A little more background: Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [Explain treatments without overpromising](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/beauty-salon-explainer-videos): Show how a treatment runs, how long it takes and what clients should know before and after. - [Reserve, order, pick up: show guests how it works](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/restaurant-explainer-videos): Show guests how reservations, pre-orders or private events work at your restaurant, and take pressure off the phone. - [Build trust before the first visit](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/jewelry-store-explainer-videos): Custom work, redesigns, repairs: show customers how a jewelry order runs and what happens to their piece. - [Explain the trial class before anyone signs up](https://caprivideo.com/industries/retail/martial-arts-school-explainer-videos): Beginners and parents wonder what happens in a first class.
