How To Find the Best Hair Salon In Your Area

On the hunt for a new hair salon? It’s going to be the place that will decide whether you have good hair days or bad hair days for the foreseeable future, so you need to choose wisely. With new salons popping up on every other corner (complete with trendy lighting and enticing window displays) how can you tell if the one you’re considering fits the bill? Here are a few things to look for.

  1. DO THEY HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS?

The quickest way to see what a hair salon can offer you is to browse their social media accounts to see images of satisfied customers who’ve had their hair transformed by them. It will give you a good idea of what kind of approach to hair the salon takes so you can decide if it’s something that would suit you. A simple internet search will also show you the kind of reviews they’ve received in the past and how they deal with unhappy customers.

  1. DO THEY OFFER AN AFFORDABLE/TRIAL OPTION?

Forking over your hard-earned money to have a salon’s Creative Director work on your hair is great, but when you aren’t familiar with a salon you might want to take less of a risk. Look for a salon that offers you more affordable options, such as working with a Principal or Senior Stylist. This will give you an idea of what you can experience from the salon without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

  1. IS THEIR PRICING UPFRONT?

A salon’s approach to cutting, styling and treating hair might differ from person to person, but their pricing should be standard. Salons that don’t give out pricing information beforehand are likely to inflate it when you’re already in their chair and less likely to back out. Look for pricing information so that you can prepare yourself for every appointment in confidence.

  1. DO THEY MANAGE THEIR TIME WELL?

You don’t have all day to sit in a salon chair or worse, wait for your hairdresser who’s still working on the client before you. A good salon will be able to tell you how long a procedure takes and will manage their time appropriately, so you’re never left waiting. This points to good planning as well as years of experience.
