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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask for a patch test 48 hours before any colour, permanent wave, or keratin service. The hairdresser applies a pea sized amount behind the ear or on the inner elbow and checks for redness, swelling, or itching after 30 minutes. Skipping this step risks contact dermatitis lasting 7 to 14 days.
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.
