Will mousse or hairspray in my hair before appointment effect how colour highlights go in?

Question

Whenever I've had my hair done (foil highlights/lowlights put in) I've always avoided using product in my hair that day, leaving me with unfortunate flat hair the day of my appointment.  I've since been told that it doesn't matter if you have mousse and hairspray in your hair, that the hair dyes aren't effected by it, and I can go ahead and use product in my hair prior to my appointment.  

Any stylists out there who can give me a definitive answer on this?  Getting hair done on Friday after work, and would love to have decent hair at work that day, but don't want to mess with the colour process and shorten it's life or change how my hair 'takes' the colour. 
Thanks!

I am a stylist, and I can assure you that mousse wont really affect the color. However, if your hair is extremely dirty, I'll wash your hair and blow it dry, your hair needs to be dry to able to be colored. However, color needs to be washed out, obviously, and at my salon, a complementary blowdry/style comes with all color services.

Mousse Or Hairspray

When you go to a salon your hair should be free and clean of any styling products, Because they wash your hair after the color has set in. It would be wise to go with clean hair from the night before. The color holds better.

It shouldn't matter, most places that dye hair or cut or do anything to hair like to wash the hair before they will do anything with it.

Even if they don't automatically do it, I am sure you can request to have it washed.
