A professional hairstylist carries sharp scissors designed for cutting, not household shears, plus thinning shears and texturizing razors. They should use clips, combs with fine teeth, sectioning clips, and a professional blow dryer with at least 1800 watts. Good products matter, so ask if they bring sulfate-free shampoo, quality conditioner, and heat protectant before confirming the appointment.
A home hairstylist delivers professional cutting, coloring, and finishing services at your address. They set up a portable station, including a chair, mirror, cape, and lights. They handle wash, cut, blow-dry, and styling. Some also offer beard trims and basic scalp treatments. Confirm the full task list before booking.
Wait 24 to 48 hours before washing color-treated hair to let pigment set. Use sulfate-free shampoo and a mask once a week. Trim every 8 to 12 weeks to prevent split ends. Avoid heat above 180 degrees Celsius without protectant. Book a toner refresh every 3 to 4 weeks for blondes and grays.
Clear a 2 meter by 2 meter area near a power outlet and a water source. Move furniture and rugs to protect them from hair clippings and chemical stains. Provide access to a sink with running water and a mirror at seated eye level. Keep children and pets in another room to maintain hygiene and avoid distractions during sharp tool use.
Prices depend on hair length, density, technique, and product usage. A short cut costs less than long, layered cuts. Color is priced per technique: single process, partial highlight, or full highlight. Travel fees often add a flat amount based on distance. Ask for a written quote that breaks down labor and products.
Allergic reactions to dye ingredients can occur even on previously colored hair, so a patch test 48 hours before full application is wise. Overlapping dye on already colored sections causes breakage and patchy tones. Some hairstylists skip strand tests for time, but skipping risks unpredictable results, especially when covering gray hair or switching from dark to light shades.
Ask how they will assess your face shape and hair density before cutting. Request a reference photo and confirm whether the result needs daily styling effort. Clarify maintenance frequency: roots every 4 to 6 weeks, toner every 3 to 4 weeks. Good stylists explain trade-offs before touching a single strand.
A simple cut takes 30 to 45 minutes, including washing and basic styling. Full coloring with developer and processing time runs 90 minutes to 2 hours, while highlights or balayage often exceed 2 hours. Add 15 minutes for consultation and setup. Confirm the expected duration in advance so you can plan your day and avoid rushing the hairstylist during critical timing steps.
Ask for years of hands-on work, not just certification. Request 3 to 5 before-and-after photos of clients with hair type close to yours: curly, thick, or gray. Check reviews mentioning consistency across multiple visits. A stylist with 5 or more years usually handles complex textures better than a recent graduate.
A hairstylist works on your hair inside your own home, saving you travel time and waiting rooms. They cut, color, style, and treat hair using portable tools and products. Most hairstylists bring their own chair, mirror, cape, and electrical equipment, but you need a clean, well-lit area. Home appointments usually last between 30 minutes and 3 hours depending on the service requested.
