subject: The Search For The Perfect Hair Salon [print this page] A girl's relationship with her hair stylist is practically sacred. Those bi-monthly, and for some girls even weekly, trips to the salon are like a ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy week. Most girls will tell their hair stylists everything, and they become their confidantes. If the workweek has been particularly busy and stressful, a trip to the salon can do wonders for your disposition. It's relaxing and you always feel good walking out the door. But finding the perfect hair stylists among hundreds of hair salons can be difficult. So here are a few things you should do to find the perfect hair salon for you.
Your friends, family, and co-workers can provide a wealth of information. Talk to a friend or a relative who has a similar face shape and a similar type of hair as yours. You should also like their haircut as well. Because that will probably be similar to the style he or she will do for your hair. Not all stylists are good with all hair types. Some stylists specialize in curly hair or short cuts.
Browse the Internet or a local newspaper for advertisements and contact information for hair salons in your area. A lot of people who love their hair stylists will write about their experience. By searching for salons in your area on the Internet or local newspapers, you can find out what kind of services they offer, their rates, and sometimes, even testimonials from past customers. Fashion magazines are also a good resource for hair salons. Most magazines will have a salon review section or they'll list down salons and even talk about the specialty services for each.
Make a shortlist of the salons that you've chosen based on your budget, hair type, and research. The next step is to visit each one. Don't worry, the search for the perfect hair salon is kind of an adventure in itself. Observe the salon and it's interiors. Is it clean? Does it make you feel comfortable? What about the staff? How do they treat you? It's a good idea to either walk in or call ahead and schedule a consultation. Most salons will offer this service for free, and you can take the opportunity to talk to a stylist about what you want and about what they would recommend for your hair type and face shape. You can even try one of their other services if you're not sure yet. It's a good way for you to gauge their service and how they treat their customers.
You'll never really know for sure until you've actually had your styled in a particular salon. You can enlist a girl friend to accompany you on your search. Whether you're with a friend or alone, you've got to admit, the journey will be fun.
