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.
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.
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.
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.
Use sulphate-free shampoo and wash with cool water to slow fading. Wash every 2 to 3 days instead of daily to protect the colour. Heat styling strips pigment faster, so use a heat protectant and keep tools below 180 degrees. A purple shampoo once a week tones blonde and grey shades. Avoid chlorine, which turns colour green quickly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
