Painted Brainz

Hair Navigation

Stop guessing what to ask for.

A personalized virtual experience to help you understand what you actually want from your hair, organize your history, and find the words to communicate it to the right professional — whoever that ends up being.

You don't need to live near Rae. You don't need to become a salon client. Nobody is trying to sell you a haircut.

This Is

  • • Help understanding what you want and why
  • • Help identifying priorities, boundaries, and trade-offs
  • • Help figuring out the type of professional you need
  • • A document you keep and bring anywhere

This Isn't

  • • A remote diagnosis or a guaranteed technical plan
  • • A hair-color formula, or instructions telling another stylist how to do their job
  • • A replacement for an in-person professional assessment
  • • A sales funnel to get you into Rae's chair

The Experience

Step 1

Tell Us Your Hair Story

Current photos, inspiration, relevant history, what you've tried, what's frustrated you, your styling habits, maintenance tolerance, budget, and any hard boundaries.

Step 2

Discover Your Aesthetic Language

A guided exercise — not a personality quiz — using imagery from clothing, interiors, music, and more to help you articulate the aesthetic language that's hard to put into words. The assessment never outranks the human.

Step 3

Sit Down With a Human

A real one-on-one virtual consultation with Rae, exploring identity, desired outcome, hair history, lifestyle, budget, timing, and trade-offs.

Step 4

Leave With the Hair Brief

A personalized document you keep — your priorities, your aesthetic language, realistic routes worth discussing, a reality check on trade-offs, and the type of professional to look for.

Optional: Specialist Research

As an optional add-on, Rae can manually research potential professionals in your area using publicly available information and share a short list worth contacting, along with what to ask them. These are potential matches based on publicly available information — never a guarantee, and never a claim that Rae has personally inspected their work.
