How Do You Know If Your At The Right Salon?

Many of clients have been coming to their stylists for years, some even decades and what I found there are a lot of clients who are not happy or comfortable at their current salon. They are just settling and haven't been happy for years.

I started thinking to myself, what person goes to a salon for years, pays their hard earned money and is never happy after leaving but, makes the conscious choice to return back? The more I thought about it, a lot of women settle in their relationships with husbands, boyfriends, and even close girlfriends so, why wouldn't they settle when it came to a hair stylist. It might just come down to a convenient location, afraid to try someone new, or just the familiarity.

I asked one of my new clients who just started to come to me recently, what made her switch stylists after going to her previous stylist for over 11 years? She said she was tired of getting the same hair style and she requested her to stop relaxing her hair because she was starting to thin. She told me the stylist would just say, "its not too much you could get with a short cut that isn't relaxed". Now you know I got an instant attitude and started to tell her all of the options she could attain with a short natural style. She said, "Well that was just not the salon for me!" Wanda was use to the routine of her previous salon she never knew about her options with trying other styles or even knew they existed.

Form a check list of these questions to see if your at the right salon:

  1. Is your presence appreciated?  Does your stylist seem happy to see you when you arrive?
      Getting your hair done should be a great experience not a dreadful one.

   2. Is Water, tea, or coffee offered? This lets you know how much you are appreciated and that they love you spending time with them and sometimes being in the salon for a few hours , this makes it more comforting.

   3. Does your salon feel like "shop" or a "salon"? The salon should be a comforting and relaxing place .Soft quite music,. sweet aromas, a clean spotless place, and a catering spirit from the staff. Not loud blasting music, loud people talking over one another, and Leroy coming in selling everything but the kitchen sink.
Is your salon right for you?
