The salon can be a really fun place to relax and get away from life for a while. You can always count on a trip to the salon to brighten your day.

Salon goers may have the usual complaints of being made to wait for too long, or for not offering good services. But they often forget that there are some basic rules and etiquettes that clients need to follow as well.
To know more, keep reading!

1. Book Your Appointment In Advance:

Scheduling an appointment well in your preferred timing is the best way to avoid any last-minute rush. This will ensure there is no confusion while you are visiting the salon and will help you to utilise your time as well.

If you have already booked an appointment, be sure that you are on time. It’s a human trait to dislike waiting, and it’s rude to keep people waiting for you. Call ahead if you are running late and apologize for the inconvenience.

If you arrive at a salon without booking the appointment, instead of pressurizing the salon staff, wait for your turn. A salon usually does not turn down their customers and tries their best to accommodate, until and unless all the slots are booked.

2. Be Clear About What You Are Looking For!

There are customers who don’t speak up or describe the style they are looking for, but once the styling is done, they blame the beauticians for not offering the expected service. To avoid such situations, it’s always recommended to let your stylist know what you are looking for, instead of letting them do whatever they feel.

Be clear and expressive about your expectations, and if possible, bring pictures of hairstyles you admire and let the stylist know what you have in mind.

3. Keep Your Phone On Silent:

It’s pretty rude to spend your time in the chair making phone calls or texting. The constant buzzing of your phone may disturb others, and sooner or later it is going to interfere with the stylist’s work and you really can’t blame them for that. Salons offer magazines – so you can read to keep yourself occupied.

4. Monitor Your Kids:

If you can’t leave your child at home, make sure that no nuisance is created at the salon and that your child behaves their best. More often we find kids running all around the salon, playing with the beauty tools, coloring the magazines and jumping all around. Salon is not a day care centre, and staff members are not going to take care of your kids. It is inconvenient not only for the salon staff, but also for other clients.

5. Speak Up:

Never leave the seat if you are not satisfied with the service. There are many who do not speak out when their service goes bad. Equally there are people who are unreasonable, difficult, and unkind to the stylists. If you want something, ask for it, but in a courteous manner so that the stylist will also feel happy to fix your issue.

6. Gift Of Gratitude:

If you‘re happy with the service, a gratuity of 10-20% is the norm in the salon industry. Tipping is just a way of appreciating the service offered to you by the salon staff. Every stylist always remembers those clients who tip them well. This not only ensures a good service from the salon every time, but also strengthens your bond with the salon – especially when you are looking for a last-minute appointment.

7. Don’t Try To Become Your Stylist’s BFF!

Women usually like gossiping and chit-chatting while a service is being done, let it be with the lady sitting right next to her or with the stylist herself. When you see your stylist on a regular basis, there are chances you may become friends with her outside the salon. Try to avoid it! Let the relation between you and your client be professional.

If one keeps these pointers in mind, a visit to salon can be made enjoyable not only for yourself, but also for the people around you!
