Running late can mess up the whole schedule. If you’re running behind, call ahead so your stylist can adjust. It keeps things smooth for everyone.
Some think stylists prefer dirty hair, but too much buildup makes it harder to style. Wash it unless told otherwise, so they can work with clean, manageable hair.
A good chat is nice, but over-sharing or total silence can be awkward. Let your stylist lead the conversation and follow their cues to keep it comfortable.
Nodding or tilting while they cut makes their job harder. Try to sit still so they can focus on precision and give you the best results possible.
Salons can be tight on space, and extra guests can be distracting. Unless needed, come solo so your stylist can work without interruptions.
Stylists know what works for your hair type. If they suggest a cut or color tweak, trust their expertise—they want you to look great, not just sell a service.
Stylists rely on tips, and a fair amount shows appreciation for their work. If you’re happy with the service, tipping 15-20% is the best way to say thank you!
