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.
Red flags include rushed consultations under 3 minutes, no patch test offered, and reused colour bowls. Pricing should appear in writing, not quoted verbally at the sink. If the stylist avoids eye contact or cannot name the brand of dye they are mixing, leave before the colour is applied.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
