Listen to the podcast Choosing A Salon
Choosing A Perfect Hair Salon should not be about the name and the fame of a salon. When searching for the Perfect Salon…look for the Perfect Person, Place, Service, Time, Price, and Products for YOUR Perfect Hair Experience.
Let’s start with TIME. Who has ALL day to sit at a Hair salon and get their Hair done? My oldest daughter Tiffani called me from Nashville, Tenn. Sharing stories about how so many people are frustrated about having to spend so much time at the Hair salon, especially when you go to a good one.
Her most recent story is about a young lady who sat in a salon for 5 hours waiting for service. She was offered nothing to drink and nothing to eat her mother was furious. Unfortunately, this happens in many salons all over America and probably the world.
When did servicing people stop being just that a service to people? Why do we treat people as though they have to be treated any kind of way? I was taught that when someone chooses your service or business to spend their money with and at. It is an HONOR.
I thanked my daughter Tiffani and hung up the phone knowing I had to write this blog. You deserve the best service for your hair care.
In any great business TIME is Money. And MONEY is Success. And SUCCESS is a long list of wonderful things in life.
So before you go to a Hair Salon ask how long will it take and expect them to KEEP THEIR WORD. Ask for the name of the person you are speaking with and let her or him know that you WILL BE ON TIME and expect them to keep their word. Once you are there confirm your TIME of SERVICE.
TIP well and thank them for their integrity and services.
I really like the idea of being able to find the hair salon for you personally. I feel like different types of salon would work better for different people, so it’s important to find the one that you like. All of the things that you brought up – time ,price, products, etc…they all play an important role, but they all play different roles for different people. Thanks for the tips though! I’m excited to go back through all my local options and see what I can find that fits me.
I think it makes a real difference to be honest. I know I enjoy going to my salon because of the people there. Obviously, you should be getting treated well and love the haircuts but it makes a difference to love the people you are around.
I think in the world we are living now, we need different type of systems as needs of our people is changing day by day, so we should develop new salons. we just have to identify that particular market segment of peoples with same needs and only serve that particular desire of that group. i think we just need to do proper research in that area.
I am looking for a great hair stylist to treat my wife to something special for her birthday. I am so glad that I was able to find this post to help me on my ideal hair salon search. The point that you made about finding a stylist that values the patrons time makes a lot of sense. I will be sure to take this into consideration as I find the perfect hair care professional in my area!
Thanks for these tips for choosing the right hair salon. I’ve been meaning to change my hairstyle, so I feel that going to the right salon would be a good way to get the cut that I want. You’re right about how I should pay attention to salons that are known for respecting their customer’s time. It would be nice to be able to get my hair cut as soon as my appointment is supposed to start, so I should learn what people have to say about local hair stylists in my area.
I think finding a hair salon that can do the work right and quickly is what you want to get. It might be nice to try out a few salons until you find the one that you want. I know that is what my wife did and now she has the salon she goes to all the time.
People who work at hair salons know that there is no perfect way to schedule their work because there can always be unforeseen complications. People should always confirm that walk-ins are welcome, because that is usually why customers end up waiting a long time, as did the girl you mentioned in this blog. In most salons that I’ve visited, the receptionist or a manager usually informs me of how long of a wait I could expect. I always know that I have to have a flexible schedule if I want to get my hair done, and the same goes for nail salons.
Lately, I have been thinking about switching to a new hair salon that values my time, because I don’t like making my hair appointments take all day. As you suggest, I usually do confirm my time and tell the people ahead of time that I will be on time as well. However, I think that this time I will call this new salon and tell them that the lack of respect for my time was the reason as to why I wanted to switch to them. Hopefully, that will signal to them that I’m serious about my time.
I’m trying to come up with a good way to get my hair cut. I’ll make sure I get a good hair salon! it makes sense that I would want to find one that uses their time wisely.

This is some really good advice, I especially love that you emphasize how important a customer’s time is. After all, you never want to make your customer wait to long for service, especially at a hair salon.
