Colour price depends on the technique used, the number of colours applied, and whether bleach is needed. Full highlights take around 2 to 3 hours, while balayage can take 3 to 4 hours. Bleach is the most expensive product and is needed for lightening dark hair. Ask which brand and shade line the salon uses before booking.
A standard hairdresser appointment includes a consultation, shampoo, cut, and blow-dry. Colouring, perming, and chemical straightening are add-on services priced separately. Most appointments take between 30 minutes and 90 minutes depending on hair length, thickness, and style. Always confirm exactly what is included before you book so you are not charged for extras.
Ask for a patch test 48 hours before any colour, permanent wave, or keratin service. The hairdresser applies a pea sized amount behind the ear or on the inner elbow and checks for redness, swelling, or itching after 30 minutes. Skipping this step risks contact dermatitis lasting 7 to 14 days.
Fine straight hair, thick wavy hair, tight coils, and chemically relaxed hair each demand different cutting angles and tension. A blunt cut suits dense strands, while slide cutting softens fine hair. Ask the stylist how many clients with your exact texture they see per week before committing.
Wait at least 48 hours before washing after a colour or perm. Use a deep conditioner once a week for the first month to restore moisture. Avoid tight ponytails or heat tools for the first week. Trim every 6 weeks to remove damaged ends. Book a protein treatment every 8 to 12 weeks if your hair feels gummy or overly stretchy.
Arrive with clean hair unless you are having a chemical treatment, in which case unwashed hair is usually better. Remove heavy styling products so the colour takes evenly. Wear a button-up shirt if you are getting colour, since pulling a jumper over wet hair can smudge fresh dye. Bring reference photos on your phone, not printed.
Long hair requires more product, more time, and often more sections to cut or colour. Thick hair uses extra dye and takes longer to dry. Many salons charge per length tier such as short, medium, or long, and may add a surcharge for very thick hair. Ask for a written breakdown before agreeing to the service.
Red flags include rushed consultations under 3 minutes, no patch test offered, and reused colour bowls. Pricing should appear in writing, not quoted verbally at the sink. If the stylist avoids eye contact or cannot name the brand of dye they are mixing, leave before the colour is applied.
Scissors should be wiped with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol between clients, and capes must be freshly laundered. Combs and brushes go into a closed jar with disinfectant, not left soaking in open bowls. Check that single-use gloves are worn during colour application, especially if you have scalp sensitivity.
Look for a portfolio with at least 20 before and after photos taken in the same lighting, without filters. Reviews mentioning density, curl pattern, or grey coverage are more useful than generic praise. Avoid profiles showing only one hair type, since versatility signals stronger training and steadier hand control.
