My Hair Salon Experience Was a Disaster! Now What?
Share
Hairstylists have a creative edge, but not everyone is going to like that.
The Bronner Brothers' show embraces stylists so they can construct their masterpieces in a dramatic tension demonstration.
But sometimes you just need a simple style that you looked over on TikTok or Pinterest to sculpt your beauty.
A lot of miscommunications can happen throughout this process.
Sometimes it’s a last-minute devastation before an event you’re attending with totally messed up hair.
What to do in these situations?
The international celebrity hairstylist and the Private Label partner Dallas Christopher may have the answer.
Plan your business now with the Hair Business Blueprint Planner.
Should You Pay for It?
Did you know it’s actually a theft not to pay for a hairdo when you get it done?
The hairstylist has the right to call the police to reclaim his right.
By the time you finish, your hair should have been shampooed and used up some other products.
Not forgetting about the stylist's time and effort.
As it’s not an initial intention to mess up your hair.
You should mention the problem immediately, not the next day, so they don’t have any suspicion that leads up to a debate about messing up your own hair.
You can escalate the problem to a manager or someone or a higher level to work out a deal instead of wasting your time fighting over it.
Expressing Your Needs and Expectations
Once you get your appointment, think of it like a consultation.
It’s a two-way street where two brains try to conjoin for a certain goal.
Be specific about the style you need to get.
Pictures are a great help.
If you walked in asking for blonde hair, what blonde do you mean?
Honey Blonde, Platinum Blonde, or the rest of the 43 variations?
Get your pictures raw too, some styles might look different on the internet with all the filters and so on.
Communicating Your Comments
The stylist shouldn’t surprise the client with the hairstyle at the end of the session.
Actually, it would help if you educated them about the process during the process like where you cut the hair and why you start coloring from this point.
Keeping up this mindset can be a prudent act to prevent further misunderstanding.
And it helps to embrace the consultation concept, so you solve their problems, and they get the value they have been awaiting.
Research the Stylist
Some stylists ignore the fact that they need to build their own portfolios to showcase their work.
It helps clients to get a sense of their way of approaching hair and what they are capable of accomplishing.
Don’t hang up pictures of celebrities that are not relevant to what you have done or what the clients will get at your store.
The client should research the stylist on the internet first, so that when the strongest personal brand will withstand.
The brand you can build by posting regularly and casually to your audience while educating them and bragging about your success.
Timing the Visit
If you are afraid that if you cancel an appointment, you will lose money.
You will lose more money moving around your other appointments and ruin your day.
The client should respect your time and you should respect her time too.
That means coming early by half an hour or more to set up your station and get everything ready for a smooth kick-off.
Final Thoughts
If the stylist messes up your hair, it’s not the end of the world.
In most cases, you can undo it on the same day.
Like color correction and so on.
And if it’s really bad, like really bad, you can just put on your headband wig and look amazing in seconds, that’s what it’s made for.
