Hair Tip of the Day

For all who think showing up late for your hair appointment is no big deal it IS a big deal for your stylist! We have schedules to follow and you putting us behind fucks us up not to mention can also effect other clients! So think before you decide to just take your time to your hair appointment. I know I have told people I won't take them if they come too late as not to affect my other appointments and people have gotten pissed but I would rather have one pissed client than 10!

Hair Tip of the Day

REALLY think about changing your color, if you go from light to dark and don't like it it's a pain in the Arse to change and if you go from dark to light it can be damaging to your hair if not done correctly. So really think about it and find a amazing colorist who know their stuff so you and your hair looks amazing!

Hair Tip of the Day.......Learn it, Live it, Love it!

STOP! And think before you walk into a salon and ask to take 6 inches off! I have had women walk into my salon and be like I want a "major" change now! Now most stylist are like "Hell Yea!" I'm more like "ok lets talk about this". 

My first question is "why the change?" Now I had one client who was growing her hair out for her wedding and when that was over she was like take it off! She always had shorter hair and wanted it back so that was a no brainier. But when someone tells me they are going through a bad break up and need a major change to feel better but have never had short hair that puts up red flags for me and a discussion is needed. I will suggest maybe not going as short as they think they want doing it in baby steps so they don't wake up the next morning crying they cut all their hair off! Now don't get me wrong some are very sure they want to do it and make a change but I just want to make sure it isn't done from a emotional state more from a rational state. So have a serious consultation with this type of client and find out "Why" the big change because if they wake up the next day and hate it they will most likely blame you and not their crazy self!

So clients take in pics and really discuss with your stylist about the style and if its something you're going to be able to live with for awhile. 

And stylist listen and give your professional advice, give pros and cons of the style and if its easy or going to be a pain to keep up, educate them and be honest if that style even goes with their look or face frame. Don't just get cut happy and then have that client in your chair ready to cry because she just cut all her hair off. 

Everyone STOP and think!

Hair Tip of the Day

If you can't spend a lot of money on getting your hair colored talk to your stylist about different options before you reach for that box color! About 60% of my clients that have been walk in color appointments have had to get their color fixed and trust me that is going to cost you a lot more than if you just come talk to me about options that won't break the bank! 

Now what are some if these options? Well if you want highlites get a partial or half rather than a full head a good stylist will know how to place them so they look great. There are also glosses and Demi colors that can run lower in price. And if you're wanting to go from dark to a lighter shade be careful if not done right you can become a pumpkin or tweety bird but talking it out with your stylist you can find options that won't break the bank and make you look crazy! One of my clients wanted to go from dark brown to a redhead but she also had color in her hair so not only are we going to have to remove the color do the roots and ends that is a long process sometimes because you don't want to fry the hair and time is money. So I suggested we do panels of color throughout her head and in time red will become her base color and it will save her money doing it that way not to mention keep the hair healthier. Well we tried it she loved it because every time she got her hair done it changed and had great different shades of red through out it and how I placed the panels the grow out wasn't harsh. 

Now I'm sure stylist are asking why do I want to make less? You aren't! She to this day still comes to me and more often because I worked with her when she couldn't spend a lot of money and now I can't get her outta my chair 😋 your longterm goal is to keep them coming back not raping their wallet the first time and never seeing them again! And those clients refer others!
