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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
