FAQs

How do you know if a hairdresser is good? ›

A good hairdresser will take the time to listen to your goals, ask you how you typically wear your hair (everyday and for special occasions), the types of products you use and what you're wanting from your visit. They get to know the client before doing the job.

The best timeline is anywhere between 1-3 months depending on your hairstyle and how quickly your hair grows. The sweet spot would be about every 6 weeks – so look ahead at your schedule, and reserve your spots with your stylist. This will ensure your hair looks fresh at all times of the month!

Ensuring your salon is accessible for all…

The hours between 12pm and 2pm (generally considered as lunch hours), as well as early evening between 5pm-7pm, tend to be the busiest operating hours for a salon.

Talk about yourself

Or down and styled? What colour or cut will be appropriate for your workplace? Talk it all out, so your stylist clearly understands what not to do, so you are able to fully relax when they start snipping.

While some hair types may hold better the second or third day of washing, in most cases it's best to visit the salon with clean, dry hair. Despite what you may have heard before proms and formal dances back in the day, it's actually preferable to work with hair that is free of oil and buildup.

FAQ about tipping your hairdresser

According to Consumer Reports, you should tip at least 15% of the service fee, even if the service wasn't the best. If you're debating whether to tip a smaller amount because you're not happy with your service, you can also consider speaking to the manager or owner first.

Every three to four months.

Keeping your ends hydrated is key to making sure your natural hair looks its best. If your natural hair is chemically treated, however, aim for eight weeks, since Philip B says, "Trimming is needed more often with the use of chemicals and relaxers."

The frequency of getting haircuts can vary depending on factors such as the natural characteristics of hair and hairstyle. Basically, a woman can get a haircut every 6 to 12 weeks. Also you can get a haircut more or less frequently depending on your preferences as well.

Tuesday or Wednesday would actually be your best bet, as it turns out most professionals would recommend a buffer of one or two days, according to Max Berlinger of The New York Times. This lets the cut "settle" and ensures your hair looks less freshly shorn for your big event.

What is the most popular day to get a haircut? ›

What days are barber shops generally the most busy? - Quora. My guess would be Wednesday Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning especially. Monday and Tuesday are generally the quietest days, and Sundays a day of rest.

Traditionally, barber shops are closed on Mondays, making it their least busy day. This is a practice that dates back centuries and was established to give barbers a day of rest after a long week of work.

Instead of showing a photo to your barber or stylist and saying “Give me this,” ask the pro for their opinion on how the cut should be modified for your specific variables. Again, this is your density, texture, and length, but also your face shape and hairline.

Layered hair is a hairstyle that gives the illusion of length and volume using long hair for the illusion of length and short hair for volume, as an easy style to manage.
