Caveat
Whilst we naturally strive for optimal customer satisfaction, it has rightly been said, by our owner no less, that "the wand chooses the wizard", and thus, while assiduously sought, customer contentment, sadly, cannot be guaranteed.

"With the greatest of pleasure, young lady. If you can paint me a quick verbal portrait of yourself, a descriptive mot juste or two, I shall do all in my power to find you a viable helpmeet."
"I believe I may have the very thing to complement your own less than verbose nature - Pine, the best of wand woods for original and non-verbal magic, and Hippocampus scale, for mapping the maze of the mind, eight and one-half inches. Give it a twirl."
"As a would-be wand wielder indeed you do, young sir. However, in order to equip you properly, I will need some guidance. How do you see yourself, and what do you hope and plan to do with your life? That manner of issue."
*As the boy grasps the wand, it produces a cascade of tiny butterflies, which, on closer examiniation, prove, in fact, to be minute leaves of parchment fluttering under their own power.*
"The wand expressed itself, young sir, as they do, on the topic of your potential purchase. It clearly considers you a suitable partner. That will be seven Galleons, if you please."
"Perhaps that what you have entered into is a partnership, and like any such it requires mutual regard and care to flourish, so to get the best out of your wand, you will have to give it of your best also."

*He considers him over his spectacles.* "Generally speaking, young man, Hawthorn is placed only in the hands of the proven. Are you utterly certain you wish to risk it, particularly with the exigent extra of the powerful and punctillious Phoenix?"

"Might I suggest that you are your own person, not merely a clone of your sire? Might we not do better to consider your own needs and ambitions? After all, I sincerely doubt that a Hawthorn wand chose your father at your own current, rather tender, years."
"With pleasure, my dear, but, there being a plethora of such present, I will require a little in the way of guidance in order to offer you an optimal partner. Please tell me a little of yourself, your hopes and dreams, your expectations and background."
*The old man looks somewhat dubious.*Twelve inches seems a tad - extravagant, young lady, for one of your dimensions. Might I recommend this 9 1/2" model?"
"Duelling is certainly most relevant, my dear, but by 'qualities' I meant any particular proclivities, for Charms or memory spells, cold or research - anything you would particularly wish the wand to aid you with."
"The Spruce is unquestionably a great helpmeet to those with the capacity to impress upon it their needs, and the combination with the Phoenix would without doubt result is some spectacular potential, but such a wand is a highly independent entity. Are you certain it is what you wish?"
*The old man looks quite grim.* "Thestral is - flighty, at best in my experience, and in partnership with the exceptional Yew would be likely to choose a rather haphazard other half, however, if such is what you desire, I believe I have one which I took in for repair several years ago, and which has subsequently never been claimed. It is ten and one-half inches, if that is acceptable."
*The old man looks uncharacteristically flabberghasted.* "I'm afraid, young sir, I have never even endeavoured the creation of wand ten, or even two, feet in length. For a young man presumably starting at Hogwarts, i would be far more inclined to recommend somehting in the ten inch range."
"I'm sorry to have to tell you, young man, that Rosewood is not among the many dendral derivatives in which I deal. I leave that - to the French. For one such as yourself, I have here a rather exotic little construct, Ebony and Tebo Hair, ten and three-quarter inches - if you would care to give it a swish?"
*The old man smiles broadly.* "Oh, yes, dear boy. The wand is merely expressing a protective impulsive towards you, entirely in keeping with its Tebo Hair character. So, having found you an equal, that will be seven Galleons, please."
"I'm afraid, young lady, that we do not trade in Hippogriff Talon wands of any description. If you would care to tell me a little about yourself, I might be able to suggest some suitable alternative."
"And what is it that you would look for in a wand, my dear? Power, or finesse? A penchant for Charms, or a propensity for healing? To unlock secrets, or to blast challengers? Let your imagination roam free."
"In that case, my dear, may I commend this Rowan and Porlock Hair eight and one-quarter inches, lacking, as you said, in pure puissance, but particularly gifted at Charms and Transfigurations, and capable of nigh-unbreakable defensive ensorcellment. Have a go with it."
*With a broad, yet gentle smile.* "Yes, my dear. I believe such of the puckish Porlock as still resides within the hair wished to make you welcome with a vision of one of your fellow-countrywomen. The Nereides, after all, have never been known to bring harm to a witch."

"And in what particulars would you wish this wand to excel, my dear?"

"Well I can tell you a bit about myself if that helps. I'm sweet and kind. I love animals. I'm also half-veela."
