We all know how nerve racking it can be walking into a new place, especially a hair salon. Hair salons, for the most part, have a club-type feel. Once you've had your first service, you're now an honorary member of the club. Here's some tips to choosing a great hair salon:

Check it out in person. Browse the product shelves; see how clean it is and if it has the style and feel you're looking for.

Call the hair salon and ask for a price list. The worst thing about a new hair salon is not knowing the prices. You're used to a $20.00 cut and when you go to check out, you find out the price is $35.00. Some salons charge for every service separately. For example, a wash could go for $10.00 and a cut for $20.00 bringing your total up to $30.00. I could never understand this. Most clients want to save a little money so they opt to skip the shampoo service. Personally, I would rather give it free and know that I'm cutting clean hair. So be sure to know what you're getting into before hand.

Listen to the receptionist well. Does she seem helpful? If not, keep looking. If a manager can't even keep her receptionist in check, how do you think the Stylists are?

Call around. Get price lists of each hair salon. And don't judge a salon by it's prices. For example, if a salon charges only $30.00 for a color and cut, it may be too good to be true. On the other hand, if a hair salon charges $90.00 for both, this doesn't mean that they will give you a better service than the $30.00 salon. Unfortunately it's a guessing game at first. Try a simple wash and blow dry first, before you jump into hair color.

How are the Stylists dressed? Do they have make-up on or their hair done? If they don't take the time to do up themselves, they probably won't take the time for you. Checkout Choosing a new Stylist
