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.

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 cost of a service must be taken into account as well. This is mainly because you got to be aware exactly how much you have to pay when the service ends. Never wait when the service is all over. Moreover, never make an estimate of what the cost is according to what price you know other spas are charging with. Otherwise, you might be shocked with your final 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 have taken a shine to the services offered to you by an expert, you better remember to leave a tip. Your normal gratuity rate for those working in a salon is around ten to twenty percent. Basically, this is customary. By tipping generously, you should be able to enjoy future benefits.

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.

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.
