A hairdresser usually uses sharp scissors, thinning shears, sectioning clips, and a spray bottle for water. Modern salons also rely on ionic dryers that reach 1800 to 2200 watts and flat irons reaching 230°C. Ask which tools will be used, especially on coloured or chemically treated hair, since heat damage builds up quickly with repeated passes.
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.
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.
Ask whether the price includes a wash and blow-dry or if that costs extra. Confirm the total cost of any colouring or chemical treatment before you start. Ask how long the service will take so you can plan your day. Find out who will be doing the work and their experience level. Clear answers mean fewer surprises at the till.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
