The Importance of Choosing A Great Hairdresser

Posted in Hair Salon Tips
If you’re like me, you started going to your local hair salon from a very young age with your mum. Hopefully you’ve got some fond memories of those times, and you may even remember how you felt & what you thought when you walked inside – and how you felt when you left! For me, I remember the hairdressers clearly – the ones who were interested in me and my hair, and the ones who looked like they wanted to be ANYWHERE ELSE than right there in the hair salon!
As an adult, I’ve been to dozens of hair salons. Some more expensive than others. Some further away from home than others. Some bigger than others. But the one thing that has been true for me regardless of the salon, is the quality and personality of the hairdresser.
If only most hairdressers knew this! When we ladies go into a salon to get a new do, we want to be made to feel like we’re the most important person in the world. We don’t want the hairdresser to be obsessed with themselves, their weekend, their problems… we want to be all about US!

That’s why we will travel further to follow a hairdresser we love, when they leave one hair salon for another one, right?

You know you have a skilled hairdresser when they are the most requested in the salon. You can always tell the best ones because they’re able to multitask without impacting the quality of their work. This means they can make you feel comfortable and glamorous while they give you the best cut possible, and engage with you in interesting conversation.
Going to a Sydney hair salon today is an experience – it’s not just a quick “10 minutes in the chair” and you’re done. If you’re at a more expensive salon, chances are that the hairdresser will spend more time with you to ensure they give you exactly what you want. A skilled hairdresser will be able to listen to you more than they talk at you, but they’ll also make positive suggestions as to what you can do to improve the condition & health of your hair.

The Best Hairdressers Are Worth Their Cost

You really get your money’s worth when you find a top-notch hairdresser who can give you that perfect cut every time, and make you feel good about yourself at the same time! Although mistakes can happen, the best hair stylists are adept at fixing any issues quickly – without making you feel guilty. The good ones are even honest about it and will make creative suggestions on how to fix certain hairstyles. A good hairdresser can make you believe that they did good work – it often comes down to appearance, attitude & confidence.
Even though skilled hairdressers cost more money than the run-of-the-mill ones, it truly pays to find the best – after all, it’s your hair after all, which is one of the first things people notice about you… whether you like that fact or not!

Tips for a great experience at a hair salon in Sydney

Getting The Most Out Of A Hair Salon In Sydney

Posted in Hair Salon Tips

While it is possible to create a unique hairstyle independently at home, there’s nothing quite like having this same hairstyle done up by a professional at a hair salon in Sydney, such as Detail Woman (one of my faves). This is becoming a common activity among women of all ages, simply because the results are better, it takes less time, and – frankly – it’s more fun than doing it yourself!

There are various factors to consider before visiting a salon. In some cases, a visit to the hair salon can end with disastrous results. This post will provide information on the points to take into account when visiting a hair salon in Sydney.

1. Choosing A Style

Acquiring a desired look will begin with choosing an interesting, yet appropriate, hairstyle.  This can be done by flicking through the hair salon’s magazines, or by discussing a twist on basic styles with the hairdresser. Initial selection is one of the most important elements to obtaining the desired result.  Of course, not all styles will suit your appearance and this is why the hair stylist must be consulted before cutting your hair. It may be disappointing if your desired hairstyle does not complement your facial features, but it is important to be realistic and understand why the style will not be suitable. Even if you’re disappointed in their feedback, it’s better than being disappointed (and maybe even embarrassed) if they try to style your hair that way, and it doesn’t work out like you’d hoped!

2. Communicating Expectations

Now that you have identified the style you desire, it is time to share this information with your professional consultant.  Effective communication is essential when relaying information about the style you’ve chosen.  Poor communication can lead to an incorrect representation of the chosen hairstyle and can lead to negative results, and when you don’t feel good about your appearance it’s likely to make you feel a bit… emotional,  Of course, you may express your expectations to the professional stylist and still receive a poor representation of the hairstyle.  No guarantees, of course. But to ensure that the hairdresser gives you high quality services, it is recommended that you read testimonials from previous customers on third party review websites. These testimonials should also be prominent on their website, and mostly positive!

3. Voicing Your Concerns

Your hair is unique to you, and your stylist should be skilled enough to acknowledge this and manage your needs accordingly. If you have specific concerns regarding the styling, it is important that you mention these to the your hairdresser before, during and after the session.  If you do not express concerns, it may be possible that the result will not meet expectations; however, if the concerns are voiced the stylist can adjust their cutting to meet your desires.  At any leading Sydney hair salon, your hairstylist should be skilled enough to be flexible, and able to adapt on the fly, so you walk out with hair you love.

4. Understanding HOW TO Maintain your new do

An acknowledgement and understanding of hair maintenance relates is similar to the points I mentioned about voicing your concerns. Basically, you need to ask enough questions that you’re confident and comfortable in what you need to do – every day – to keep your hair in its best condition for the style you’ve chosen. Don’t be afraid to ask for definitions of any unfamiliar terms.

Final Thoughts

Visiting a hair salon in Sydney can be very exciting; hopefully these tips will help you get the most out of your next relaxing salon experience!

How to Choose a Sydney Hair Salon

Choosing The Best Sydney Hair Salon

How to Choose the Best Sydney Hair Salon

How to Choose the Best Sydney Hair Salon

There is no doubt that most people want to look good. One of the things that contributes a lot to the appearance of an individual is their hair. If you want your hair to look good, you need to find the best Sydney hair salon for you. There are many hair salons in Sydney to choose from, so it goes without saying that not all of them are going to be perfect for you. Below are some tips that may help you find the best salon for your specific needs.

Inquire From Your Friends And Relatives.

If you see a person with a hair style you like, make it a point of asking them which hair salon they visited to get that look. Personal recommendations are very useful in finding the best Sydney hair salon. It is worth noting that the people who have similar hair to yours are the best ones to ask for recommendations. Why? Simply because you’re more likely to be able to achieve similar results if you find the right hairdresser. By asking for suggestions, you can also get extra information, such as any negative reviews or feedback they can share with you – so you know which salons to avoid!

Schedule A Consultation

Before you settle on a Sydney hair salon, you need to schedule an appointment with them where you can talk to them and see how they present themselves. Most of us have distinct hair needs, and it is important for you to gauge whether the salon in question is be able to satisfy your particular needs and implement the ideas you have about your hair. You should also ask their hairdressers about their ideas and see what they have to say. There is no doubt that by the end of the consultation, you will have gauged whether the salon in question is best for you or not.

Do Not Be Blinded By The Costs

You should never get blinded by the prices charged by a Sydney hair salon. It is obvious that you need to ensure you can afford regular visits to the salon of your choice. If you see one that is always trying to acquire new customers by advertising special offers through social media and radio, take that as a red flag. A good Sydney hair salon is able to maintain its customers with minimal turnover.

As a famous saying goes, cheap is expensive. Going for a hair salon in Sydney that is cheap is not the best option. The reason behind this is that since the salon has to make a profit to survive, and the amount of money obtained from the customers is very small per transaction, there’s no way they will be able to get the best hair stylists with the best training, and the best hair products for your hair.

Check Hair Salon Reviews and Testimonials Online

A quality hair salon is going to be supported by a strong following of client testimonials and reviews. These reviews can be on sites like Facebook, Google+, Yelp, and other online business directories.

Ideally, you’re looking for a Sydney hair salon which has 4-5 Star Reviews. Also, you want to ensure that any complaints or negative reviews are adequately addressed by the salon staff.

Watch out for fake reviews, though – you can normally spot these based on poor grammar, spelling mistakes, overly-exotic sounding usernames, or reviews which are “keyword stuffed”. For example:

“ABC is the best hair salon in sydney. For the best hair salon in sydney call ABC.”

A genuine review is going to be more “real” than that!

Finally, don’t feel obligated to return to a hair salon that gives you poor service. You’re in control, so feel free to move on to the next salon and try again.

Good luck with your searching!
