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.
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.
Book your first appointment with a 10 to 15 minute buffer before and after the service. Allow 45 minutes for a basic cut, 90 to 120 minutes for colour, and up to 180 minutes for full highlights with toner. Confirm the stylist's experience with your hair type before the day, not at the chair.
Speak up before you leave the salon. Most reputable hairdressers will offer a free adjustment within 3 to 7 days. If the colour is wrong or the cut is uneven, document it with photos in daylight and contact the salon within 24 hours. Keep your receipt and any aftercare instructions. Silence after the appointment reduces your chances of a fix.
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.
Good aftercare advice includes a wash schedule, a recommended brush type, and a list of ingredients to avoid. Ask for written instructions covering the next 14 days, since chemically treated hair needs a 72 hour no wash window. Avoid stylists who hand you products without explaining how to use them.
Hairdressers usually price by service time, hair length, and product weight. Short cuts start lower, while shoulder length and longer hair add 20 to 40 percent to the base. Colour rises with the number of grams of dye used, which scales with density and length, not just the shade chosen.
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.
Bringing a photo of a celebrity without considering your own face shape, hair type, or maintenance routine often leads to disappointment. Skipping the consultation saves 5 minutes but costs you 6 months of regret. Not mentioning scalp issues or allergies can trigger reactions. Be honest about your budget so the stylist can suggest realistic options.
Look for a professional with experience working with your specific hair texture, whether fine, curly, thick, or chemically treated. Ask to see a portfolio of previous work with similar hair. A good hairdresser will ask about your routine, products you use, and how much time you spend styling. Avoid anyone who recommends the same cut for every client.
