Overview

Hair oils can intimidate clients, especially those with fine hair. This training focuses on teaching stylists how to recommend the right dosage, product pairing, and application technique.

Chairside Language

· “Oils aren’t about coating the hair, they’re about nourishing it.”

· “For fine hair, we use oils sparingly—just a drop or two.”

· “Pairing Satin Oil with Air Wax gives shine without collapse.”

Roleplay 1

Client: “I’ve tried oils before and they always made my hair greasy.” Stylist: “That’s common when oils aren’t used correctly. Let me show you how Satin Oil absorbs into the hair instead of sitting on top.”

Roleplay 2

Client: “I don’t think my fine hair can handle oil.” Stylist: “Actually, fine hair can benefit when applied the right way. Just one drop of Satin Oil, blended with Air Wax, adds shine and polish without weight.”

Stylist Takeaway

Teach clients that oils are a precision tool. By customizing dosage and pairing, even fine-haired guests can enjoy the luxury of oils without heaviness.

Quick Reference Guide - Coarse hair → Satin Oil generously for softness. - Fine hair → Satin Oil sparingly, paired with Air Wax. - Always warm oils in hands before applying. - Apply mids-to-ends only. - Reinforce that less is more. - Emphasize “between salon visits” for lasting results.
