December is the busiest month of the year for hair stylists, and the better the salon, the busier they are during the holidays. Follow these easy tips to make sure you have the best experience. In many ways customer satisfaction actually depends on the customer!
1 Make appointments in advance.Yes, its true that you might be able to be “squeezed” in, or perhaps walk in at exactly the right time for
a quick appointment, but if your stylist is anxious about his/her next appointment you will not get the time and attention you deserve. Make an appointment and when you do…
2 Be sure and describe as accurately as possible what you want done. All too often a stylist is surprised by last minute requests when they have not put aside enough time to do it! Different styles, coloring, straightening, etc. All take different amounts of time. Be as straightforward and upfront as possible about what you expect from an appointment.
3 Be sure and describe what your hair looks like now. Going from one cut to another is sometimes more technical a change than for others. All the information you provide in advance will help your stylist make the best choices possible and to plan for any eventuality.
4 Arrive on time! Remember that when your appointment starts is your time whether you are there or not. If you arrive late, that is time that cannot be spent on the reason for going there is the first place.
5 Finally, come prepared. Depending on what you want, you may be there for awhile. Wear something comfortable, and turn off your phone. Fully engage in the process. Your stylist is 100% focused on you, if you give the same attention back, the results will speak for themselves.
Hair, is a lot like most everything else in life. You get out what you put in. Hire experts and then trust them. Give yourself fully to the process. And come prepared. Anything great requires preparation and attention.
