HOW TO FIND A HAIRSTYLIST

Ever find yourself trying to FIND that right HAIRSTYLIST? Here are some points to help you look for that right SALON and or HAIRSTYLIST. Especially if your new to an area, or just wanting something different.

1. Referrals:

This is most likely one of the best tips in finding the right SALON or STYLIST for you. Also take in account where and whom the referral is coming from. If you KNOW and TRUST the person, you can take their suggestions very seriously.

2. Consultations:

Schedule a CONSULTATION with the SALON/STYLIST your interested in visiting. Compile a list of QUESTIONS/CONCERNS you might have. Also you can call ahead and ask to speak to the STYLIST who has more experience with the service your looking for. Keep in mind that you might have found the right salon, but the wrong stylist or vice versa. You have to put in the work, if you want the results you seek.

3. Intuition:

Please DON’T let the word PROFESSIONAL confuse you. Sometimes we can ignore the signs. because “PROFESSIONAL” is added to the title. Know that there is a difference between a PROFESSIONAL who knows how to do hair and a PROFESSIONAL who knows hair.

4. Ask Questions:

I CAN’T stress this enough.. Ask QUESTIONS about all that you would like to know, from Shampoos used, Conditioners, Relaxers, Color Line, and ect.. Ask.. Ask.. Ask..

5. Test Run:

Visiting a potential establishment during peak hours can really give you some incite about the SALON/STYLIST operations.

6. Get Your Money Worth:

Make sure that your stylist is giving you YOUR MONEYS WORTH.. If your leaving the salon and wondering what all you paid for, you might not be getting all of what you believe you paid for. Getting styling tips, products that you need to be using while at home, and stylist making themselves available are some things that add VALUE to your service.

7. Pictures:

By asking to see pictures of styles the stylist has done on past/present clients, shows you the range of their skill level. You will have a chance to weigh your options on if you like the work of that stylist or not.

8. Salon Environment:

When you walk into a establishment, you can tell a lot about the business and the people who works there. Just by hearing the conversations going on between stylist and clients or even clients talking among themselves. You can also tell by the upkeep of the salon and stylist work areas. If they don’t care about what’s going on in the salon, how would they care for your hair or even your business. They might be the best hairstylist, but their surroundings would not reflect that.

I hope these tips were helpful and will assist you in finding the right stylist. Certainly there are additional tips out there you can use.
