Choosing a Salon

A few helpful tips on choosing a salon.

We all have certain desires and expectations when choosing certain things and a salon should be no different.  From the moment you step foot into a salon you want to be welcomed by friendly staff and amazing fragrances.  What is it that women in today’s world want from a hair salon?

We are all very much into comfort and at the fingertip service.

You come home from work take a look in the mirror and see that you need to visit the salon since your new growth is showing but the salon is closed. What to do?

Does your Salon have 24/7 online booking on the computer or even on a smartphone?

Who doesn’t like to receive something extra when we spend our money?

Does your Salon have a rewards program?

I want to go to a salon where they use professional products.

Ask questions, an informed customer is a happy customer. Questions like” What is it that you are using on my hair today” “What do you recommend I use for my dry scalp? Is the product you use sustainable? These are all questions you think about but sometimes don’t voice.   The Salon staff are all doing what they do best which is to give your hair the best treatment possible. Going for a haircut or color that you spend money on and purchasing products in a food store from someone who did not get training in hair care is not always the most advisable.

Does the Salon sell any product?

If a salon cares about you they would make it easy for you to purchase everything you need to take care of your hair’s optimal beauty. It includes everything from the shampoo to styling products and tools.

What is used in the back bar and styling chair should be sold in the retail section.

BEWARE: If a Salon is using only one or two big bottles of shampoo without labels and are trying to sell you products that they are not using while styling hair. These are usually the salons that are looking to make a sale and don’t care about your hair.

 I want to get my hair straightened but am scared because of all the formaldehyde scares.

Ask the stylist questions about the product they use in their salon. Not all Keratin treatments are toxic.

If the Salon cares about you and your hair they will not be using dangerous products.

I need to go out tonight and would love to get my makeup done as well.

Having a makeup station goes hand in hand with beautiful hair. Adding a little color to your face after getting your hair done makes you feel even better.

Is the salon you are going to a one stop chair?

Going to a salon where the Stylist and Colorist are all the same person could turn you into an ordinary person and sitting in the same person’s chair for hours could become boring. Having a fresh set of eyes doing your cut and color keeps your look new. Look for a departmentalized salon where the Stylists and Colorists are separate but working together to create an individualized look. Being departmentalized gives a stylist or colorist the opportunity to be experts in their field.

Taking care of your hair should be a number one priority from the Salon you go to.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT

Sure we all go into a salon and have a certain amount of product pushed in our faces, some pushier than others.

Some salons even have quotas and could care less what you buy so long as you buy.

You the consumer, are bombarded with ads, media, TV commercials as well as what your salon is trying to get you to buy.

The reality is that if you want amazing hair, your specific needs addressed, and to be able to maintain the investment you made in the salon on your hair itself; then you do need professional product.

But what product?

This is all based on your hairs’ individual need. This is your hair type, texture, color, and home habits.

Each salon hopefully and should believe in what they sell and use passionately, if they don’t you need to find another salon that does.

At Hair Studio Artists we not only believe in what we use but our color director and owner is a National Artist for the company used in the salon.

Unlike other salons we don’t advertise the brand, we utilize it. We don’t believe in using the top name of media hype mainstream product, you can find that anywhere; in CVS, Publix, Walgreens, etc.

Hair Studio Artists prides itself on working with small private label companies that produce in house product lines. By using private label we are able to seek out the highest quality of performance and ingredient without advertising for a company already in your face.

It’s the hair we believe in, you and your hair and what goes into the creation of it and the maintenance of it.

Our products are all natural, almost vegan and free of all harmful additives.

Best of all our average price is $20 across the board for everything we sell making it extremely affordable compared to media hyped brands and they outperform them as well.

Our shampoo line is broken down into needs such as color, hydration, and scalp. Our styling line is broken down by what it does, such as smoothing, texture, sculpture and so on.

This is why only the professional who touches your hair knows what it needs.

We feel so strongly that should any company we deal with start mass selling at drug stores or supermarkets or lower their quality standards we drop them ASAP, which is why we don’t waste time advertising for them.

It’s about you and our craft.
