Visiting a Hair Salon Visit a hairdresser can be a very scary and daunting task for some girls and boys, both men and women. It may be because they had a frightening experience in the past maybe the hairdresser cut the hair wrong, the hairdresser did not do what the client told them too, wrong color or even an allergic reaction to bleach or color.
Whatever your reasons, I have 10 steps in which I hope will help you overcome your phobia of visiting a hair salon:
1. Only go to shows deemed - a recommendation of a friend or family member is always a good start
2. If you're having your hair color on stress a skin test - a skin test is when a small amount of bleach or colorant is placed on your skin to see if you have a reaction, a reaction can be itching, blistering and redness. A skin test is performed at least one week before any hair appointment.
3. Tell the hairdresser exactly what style you want - if you have an idea of what you want your hair to look like a picture and have it take the hairdressers with you this will not only put your mind at rest, but will also help hairdresser.
4. Tell the hairdresser what you do not want - if you do not want a particular style the hairdresser, if you go to a salon and say what you think look good, but you hate a particular style, make you tell them u.
5. If you want 1 or 2 inches of your hair and that's all they say - if you got a haircut just to get an inch or tow your hair tell the hairdresser that's all you want to do. Do not let the hairdresser sway your decision.
6. Choose a hairdresser you get on with - in a hair salon, there is always more than one stylist so choose one you like and can go from the, it will be easier for you to talk to them to tell them specifically what you want your hair.
7. If your really nervous book with senior stylist - senior stylists in the salon are stylists with more experience. They cost more, but listen to your needs and make you happy with your cut and color.
8. Only want your hair done but bombarded with extras available - most hair salons now offer not only hair but nail treatments, tanning, makeup, etc. services if you do not want one of these s offer it to you just make it clear in a pleasant way, you've come to have your hair done that's all thank you.
9. Sacred what the color will look like - if you want to change your hair color, the best way is to start with 1 or 2 shades lighter or darker of your normal hair color. Do not go from blonde to dark brown or dark brown to bright blonde, you must do it gradually.
10. Opt for a consultation before you book - if you know yet why not book a consultation with the hairdresser of your choice and tell them exactly how you feel, if you're afraid to explain why. They will then give you advice on what styles and colors do not suit you, you can give a notice before your appointment effective.
