This article answers many of the most frequently asked
questions about beauty salons and hair stylists.
Consider yourself in the following situation:
I will never forget how humiliated I was when I walked out
of a beauty salon with my embarrassed husband in tow,
slinking all the way through a mall just to get to our car
and hide. I couldn't get out there fast enough! I
immediately went home and washed my hair out and did it
again.
Colour, cut and styling was a complete disaster! It was my
first visit to a new beauty salon. I thought I had asked the
right questions such as:
- Is there a stylist here with experience working with
natural curly hair?
-- Of course the answer was a Yes. I learned the person with
experience was just out of school and this was her first
job.
Have you gone through a similar experience?
As a client, we expect to leave the beauty salon with a
smile on our face, feel beautiful and be excited about our
experience. The situation described above can be
avoided if you just take some time to review the following
tips before going to a beauty salon:
- If you admire someone else's hair, ask them the name of
their beauty salon and stylist.
- Is the beauty salon easy to get to from home or work?
- Inquire if the stylists have experience with your type of
hair. For example, is your hair long, curly or straight?
- You can find reviews on the Internet of beauty salons in
your area by zip codes.
- How do you feel when you enter a beauty salon? Are you
greeted right away? Is the salon clean and inviting?
- Are the staff dressed appropriately? Do they take care of
their hair?
- You can provide pictures of hair styles you like to the
stylist. There are also hairstyle magazines in all salons
for you to check out.
- Do you enjoy being with your stylist?
- Does the stylist ask you what you would like and offer
suggestions?
- Does the stylist discuss shampoos, conditioners or special
treatments that would improve the health of your hair?
- Now you are all ready for --the look--. Does the stylist
give you the information you will need on how to maintain
that style once you leave the salon?
If you can answer most of the above questions to your
satisfaction, then you have probably found a beauty salon
and a hair stylist that will make you look fabulous. If not,
get all of your information from the next beauty salon on
your list. There is a talented hair stylist waiting just
for you!
