Beauty Salon-
Isn't it important to find the right beauty salon so that you can have
the right look at the right time? Of course it is. However, there are certain
things that beauty salon owners don't want you to know.
According to the September 13, 2005
issue of the LA Times, soon after Hurricane Katrina passed through the states
of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, beauty salons with power and water reopened.
Women who had lost EVERYTHING flocked to those open beauty salons. They wanted
to look good even though they did not have a place to live. They wanted and
needed professional hair care.
This fact alone confirms your intuition
about the absolute necessity of finding the right beauty salon. This holds true
for a beauty salon Los Angeles, a beauty salon in Santa Monica, CA 90405
or a beauty salon in Long Beach, Mississippi.
Let me give you some general guidelines
and tips to use when you are looking for a new beauty salon. I will also include
some helpful suggestions about how to deal with your hair stylist.
1. How far is the beauty salon from
your home or work? Is it convenient to either or both?
2. Telephone the salon. Ask if their
hair care stylists have experience with your type of hair. For example, is your
hair long, curly, textured or exposed to frequent changes to hair color, heat
and the elements?
3. Search the Internet for reviews
of beauty salons in your work or home zip codes.
4. It seems obvious, but it's crucial:
Who do you know whose hair looks fabulous? Ask them where (and to whom) they
go.
5. When you get to the beauty salon
what does the atmosphere FEEL like to you? Is it peaceful or stressful? Which
do you prefer?
6. Are you greeted right away or
are you forced to wander around or “twiddle your thumbs” until someone
attends to you?
7. If you've made an appointment
is it kept and on time?
8. Is the beauty salon clean and
well organized? Does everything seem to be in its place?
9. How is the staff dressed? Are
they dressed appropriately to your taste?
10. What does the hair of the staff
look like to you? Is the hair of the staff professionally done or is it sloppy?
Ok, you've decided that the beauty
salon environment is satisfactory, now how do you deal with the hair stylist?
11. Collect and bring pictures that
are appropriate for your type of hair. The biggest beauty salon hair disasters
occur when your hair stylist doesn't understand what you want. Pictures help
convey your message.
12. Don't immediately go for a cut,
take it slower. Book a blow-dry with your selected stylist. Ask, if you were
to cut my hair, how would you do it? Once you've set aside the time for a real
consultation, here are some key questions to ask yourself as you talk to your
stylist:
• DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE with
the hair care stylist? You should like his or her sense of style. This means
clothing, grooming, personality, everything.
• IS THE STYLIST ASKING YOU
questions, giving ideas and suggestions that relate to your personality, rather
than pointing to a style on the wall or in a book?
• IS THE HAIR CARE STYLIST
ADDRESSING the health of your hair, not just proposing to cut off split ends?
The two of you should be talking about conditioners and rinses that enhance
shine and bounce, and special treatments that can prevent or repair damage done
by the environment, such as pollution, sun, chlorine, humidity, or dry air.
• ONCE YOU'VE AGREED ON A LOOK,
does the stylist preview how you'll need to blow it dry, wash it, and maintain
it? These are all things to think about before actually getting the cut.
If you can answer most of the questions
to your satisfaction, then you've probably found a beauty salon and a hair stylist
that will make you look fabulous. If you cannot, then move on to the next beauty
salon on your list.
