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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Short styles like bobs and pixies need a trim every 4 to 6 weeks to keep their shape. Medium-length hair looks fresh with a cut every 6 to 8 weeks. Long hair can wait 8 to 12 weeks if you are growing it out. Split ends travel up the shaft, so delaying cuts often causes more damage and extra work later.
