Tips For Proper Etiquette For A Hair Salon Appointment

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.

There are popular hairstyles that are being published in fashion and beauty magazines. If you find something to your liking, better take pictures of it and discuss with the stylist. The stylist will give a professional opinion, whether or not the style fits you well. Discussing things with the expert is a good way of getting better hairstyles.

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.
