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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
