Best Kept Etiquette When Going To A Hair Salon

By Sharon Weeks


People loves getting pampered. It is because of that fact that people love going to spas and salons. These are places where these stressed out people can visit to get relief. Booking for an appointment for hairstyling is a good idea, just make sure to remember the proper etiquette when booking for one. Here are tips worth remembering when visiting a salon.

First, you must make sure to never go there late. If you arrive at the hair salon a few minutes late of your reservation, then you should not be offended if ever you get a short shrift. You might end up losing your appointment altogether. Being late is your blunder and you have to take the responsibility for it. When being late is unavoidable, then call up the stylist to let them know about it.

You might have hairstyles and cuts you admire. If that is the case, then you better bring pictures of these hairstyles and cuts. Show the stylist about what you plan to have. The stylist will give his or her opinion, especially if the style does not suit you. Be prepared for that.

Styling usually takes up a lot of time out of your daily routine. That is why you must make sure to inform your stylist about how much time you want to spend for the said task each day. At most, you have to spend ten minutes for the said task. You should never ask for a hairstyle that will take longer than that to style.

It is important that you know how much the whole service cost. This is your responsibility as the client. Do not just assume what the price is based on what the price is in another spa. Also, avoid asking about it after the service has been provided. Otherwise, you might end up with an awkward and unpleasant surprise when you take your bill.

Speaking out is something you should not hesitate. However, speaking out does not mean you should be discourteous toward the spa's staff members or your stylist. Better speak out but in a courteous manner. Show some graciousness when calling out a professional regarding something you need.

When you are happy with the services provided to you, then you better tip the expert. The normal gratuity rate given to those working in the salon industry is usually at ten to twenty percent. This is customary for the job well done. Tipping generously to a professional who can do an excellent job can be beneficial for you in the long run.

Keep your interaction with a stylist on a professional level. Never think that just because you have discussed a bit of your personal details in life with a professional, you are now best friends for life even outside of the business environment. Otherwise, you will find it awkward to raise up some concerns or issues.

When getting a hairstyle, keep your phone inside your bag. Only answer your cell phone or use it when you think that it is really necessary. Otherwise, you will come off as an extremely rude person. The stylist's work will also be affected if you are too focused on sending text messages, calling, or answering emails.
