Which activity is not part of the Consult service essential?

• A. Organizing a plan
• B. Obtaining consent
• C. Performing the service
• D. Visualizing the end result

Answer: (C)

In a client consult, the focus is on planning with the client, getting agreement, and clarifying the final outcome before any work begins. The activity that isn’t part of the consult is performing the service, because the hands-on styling happens after you’ve laid out the plan, obtained consent, and visualized the end result together.

Organizing a plan fits the consult because you’re mapping out the steps, timeline, and what will be done. Obtaining consent fits because it ensures the client agrees to the proposed approach and understands what will be done. Visualizing the end result fits because you discuss and align on the desired outcome, helping both you and the client share a clear vision.
