Best Kept Etiquette When Going To A Hair Salon

By Sharon Weeks


It is essential for a woman to be pampered. This is the reason why spas and salons exist. These are the professional places where people can relieve the body of the stress from work. When you book an appointment for hairstyling, then you better remember proper etiquette for it. Here are great tips for you to follow when going to 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.

The service cost should also be taken into consider. It is important to know exactly how much you will be paying. Do not just make an estimate at the top of your head based on what price other spas have. Never ask about it only after the service ends. Doing it that way can get shocked about the bill you receive for your service.

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.

You might already have become a regular for a certain stylist. However, even when you have already shared its and pieces of your private life with that professional, never think that you are already close friends. Leave the relationship in a professional level with someone you only receive services from.

During the styling, you better avoid using your phone. You should only use the cell phone when it is extremely necessary, even if you do not want to chat with your stylist. It is actually rude of you to spend your time on your phone, especially if the text, call, or email, can actually wait.
