About Hairdresser
How to maintain your colour between appointments
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.
How a Hairdresser Handles Consultation
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.
What to do if you are not happy with the result
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.
Allergies and Patch Tests at a Hairdresser
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.
How to prepare your hair before the appointment
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.
Hygiene Standards at a Hairdresser
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.
Common mistakes clients make at the salon
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.
Product Quality at the Hairdresser
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.
How often you should get your hair cut
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.
Pricing Structure at a Hairdresser
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.
