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.
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.
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.
Professional lines contain higher active concentrations, such as 10 to 14 percent bond builders, compared to 2 to 3 percent in drugstore brands. Ask which brand the salon uses and whether the products are sulfate free. Reputable salons display ingredient lists and batch numbers on the back of each bottle.
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.
A proper consultation lasts 5 to 10 minutes and covers face shape, lifestyle, and maintenance time. Bring two reference photos and be ready to explain what you like about each one. The stylist should measure your hair's elasticity and porosity, since both numbers shape the final technique.
Frequent split ends, breakage, or scalp irritation after visits suggest poor technique or harsh products. A good stylist remembers your history, preferences, and previous colour formulas. If you have to repeat your instructions at every appointment, move on. Uneven colour, visible regrowth within 2 weeks, or rushed cutting are also red flags worth taking seriously.
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.
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.
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.
