FAQs

How do I find the right hairdresser? ›

Call or text your old stylist and let him gently know that you'll be seeing his co-worker from now on. Reaching out first helps quell rumors and awkwardness around their work environment. Honesty, again, is the best policy. But another good bit of advice is “Say what you mean, but don't say it mean.”

How much should you tip your hairdresser? We asked three etiquette experts, two salon professionals and a certified financial planner. Most of these experts suggest leaving 15% to 20%, depending on the service and your satisfaction. Going with 20% is nice for the stylist and you because that math is pretty simple.

Read online reviews and have a look at the salon's social media. There's nothing better than the thoughts, opinions, and photos from real clients and customers. Finding the best salon means getting to the best specialist—and one might have an excellent hair colorist while another a skilled hairdresser.

If you have a good relationship with your salon, but aren't 100 percent happy with the outcome, just calmly state your dissatisfaction and ask to revisit your stylist. “The original stylist is the best person to correct their own work until they get it just right,” Cairns said.

Just keep it simple and polite, stating that despite no hard feelings or ill will, you think it will be best to see another stylist moving forward. Wish them well, and thank them for their services to date.

Those days are over, and yes you should tip even if your stylist is the owner. And a note to the person who thinks that if it cost $170 for a cut-and-color, it must be the the owner: nope!

It's generally not ideal to arrive with heavy product build-up from styling your hair the day of your appointment, especially if you're getting a dry cut or highlights before washing. It can cause hair color to go on unevenly and affect how your hair stylist evaluates your pre-cut hair type and texture.

What is the slowest time of the year for hair stylists? ›

Another stylist shared with me that the summer months tend to be the slower, which I have experienced and I can agree. The reason sometimes behind that is, a lot of clients are traveling, and going on summer vacations. Then you can just have a slow week for no reason.

The hours between 12pm and 2pm (generally considered as lunch hours), as well as early evening between 5pm-7pm, tend to be the busiest operating hours for a salon. This is because clients are available to take the time out of their routines for a salon service such as haircut or beauty treatment.

While some hair types may hold better the second or third day of washing, in most cases it's best to visit the salon with clean, dry hair. Despite what you may have heard before proms and formal dances back in the day, it's actually preferable to work with hair that is free of oil and buildup.

Talk about your lifestyle, whether you take a lot of time getting ready or if you are someone who lives in the fast lane, do you like to wear your hair up? Or down and styled? What colour or cut will be appropriate for your workplace?

Examples of What to Ask For a Haircut

Please leave the top longer, around four inches, so I can sweep it back or to the side.” For medium-length hair: “I'd like a layered cut with scissors only. I want to maintain the length around the ears and the nape, but please thin out the bulk a bit.”

Research: The first step in choosing the right hair salon and stylist is to do your research. Look for reviews online, ask friends and family for recommendations, and check out the salon's website. This will give you a good idea of the salon's reputation and the services they offer.
