Should I switch stylists or switch salons?

I really like the hair salon I've been going to.





I've only been there twice and have enjoyed my experiences their.





The first time I called in a bit of a rush and was scheduled with the only person available. Second time I booked the same person, in hopes to be a regular.





But was slightly disappointed, and a tad jealous of other people at the chairs around me.





This salon has price levels...and I want to switch to someone higher on the rank, but know that their chair is ACROSS from the person I've been to twice.





Should I switch, or just start over at a new place?





Thank youShould I switch stylists or switch salons?
why were you jealous ? Were they getting better haircuts ?





If you like your stylist %26amp; just want to change the cut itself, just tell her.





If you want a different stylist for some reason, just tell her you would like to try the more expensive tart. They don't care, happens all the time.Should I switch stylists or switch salons?
Ooh, its kind of a tricky situation. But, you are paying THEM, so I would go up a level. Your hairdresser is a professional, and she should act like one if you switch. If she does get upset and shoot you an evil glare or whatever, so what? You'll have fabulous hair!





Also, you've only been with her twice, so its not like you have this amazing client-hairdresser relationship, she probably wont even notice/care.





If you are really worried about it, just say something about you wanted to try something different, or your friend reccommended you tried the upper level hairdresser. Make something up. A little white lie.





But seriously, dont stress. Most likely It'll be no big deal!
Or you can try to find out the other ones day off.
i don't mind awkward situations so i'd just up myself a level but if you dislike them i'd say switch salons period.

Do stylists at discount salons (like smartstyle or fantastic sam's) make a living wage?

I read that salary studies do not always consider what the stylists are these salons are making. I am planning on going to cosmetology school and would like to work in a high end salon but just in case that does not work out I want to know if I will be able to live on the pay. I am not looking to become rich cutting hair but I would like to start a family in a few years without having to struggle to pay every bill.





I am about to graduate with a bachelor degree but I really hate the field it is in and want a job I enjoy going to.Do stylists at discount salons (like smartstyle or fantastic sam's) make a living wage?
I have worked in both types of Salons. I was making a lot of money at the high end one, until the economy started to get bad. I made 1/3 less gross pay from one year to the next due to the economy. So I went to work at a Fantastic Sams, and I was really busy there, so I ended up making really good money there. Since you make commission in most Salons, you have to be busy to make money. Even if the prices are lower, if you are busy you are going to make more. Good Luck! I love doing hair. I have a family now, and it works great with our schedule for me to be a stylist.

Contact the Texas Workforce Commission.

I admit it...im scared of hair stylists. can someone give me advice to make my visit to the hair salon better?

Okay so hair stylists really scare me.





i never know whats going on back there because its not like you have eyes in the back of your head so you don't know if they are cutting off 1 inch or 5 inches.





they are always so.....happy.





if anyone is a hair stylist can you give me advice on getting over my fear. i really like the guy who cuts my hair. he does a great job. for some reason i am not as scared of female stylists as i am of male stylists but the thing is...hes my friends dad and its so.....akward!





i want to bring in a pic of what i want but i would be embarressed and i dont know what i want!





ideas....?I admit it...im scared of hair stylists. can someone give me advice to make my visit to the hair salon better?
I'm scared of hair stylists too lol and i'm in school to be one! I'll try to not be so happy once I get out lol. I don't like people cutting my hair cause they really could be hacking off more than I want. They should point to where they will be cutting and ask if it's short enough before they start chopping away. I always ask. Taking a picture in is a really good way to get them to know exactly what you want, and a lot of people do it so don't be embarrassed! If you don't know what you want, then I don't suggest getting anything more than a trim or long layers when you go, just cause you don't know what you want so you probably wouldn't like a drastic change unless YOU wanted it. If the guy does a good job, stick with him! It's hard to find someone you can trust to do your hair. I wish you luck and hope you get over your hair stylist fear!I admit it...im scared of hair stylists. can someone give me advice to make my visit to the hair salon better?
he is professional


so dont worry





the best thing is to take a picture with you


tell him what you want


and ask him if he has any other pictures he would recomend for your hair type


don't be shy


if you dont like his idea.. then let him know


he honestly would rather make you happy then make you cry





and for goodness sake.. always go to someone you trust
I have this problem too. You shouldn't be intimidated by your stylist, especialy when choosing a style you want and settling for something different. Try setting up an appointment so you can sit and talk about your hair and what style you want. You both should be able to come to a decision of what you want. You can ask them what they're doing to your hair too, they're not gonna charge you extra for a tutorial. Just ask them if they could explain what they're doing and why because you want to know how to take care of and style your hair. You always want to know what you should and shouldn't do to your hair.





Hope this helps.

    Well, one thing you can help your friend is to introduce your friends to her as a hair stylist because she could make good money cutting hair in your place. This way, while she's still looking for a working place she could earn extra cash on the side or she could go to people's house and cut their hair.Hair salons in Dallas texas?? looking for job that pays good being a hair stylist?

    HELP PRO STYLISTS!- I was a bleach blonde (not brassy) & went 2 salon 4 lowlights and now my hair GREY!!?

    I am naturally light brown/dirty blonde but have been bleaching my own hair w/ pro dye for ten years. It was a gorgeous platinum/light gold but not brassy, blonde and i went to this posh salon for dimension. (multi-dimensional ';streaks'; of 25% a really dark brown to match my eye brows/roots, 25% the platinum color it was, and 50% some warm but not orange color inbetween there to help them blend). She started foiling at 3:45 didn't get done until 9:30. When hair dryed, OMG!, it was GREYish-Greenish/ horrifying. (I paid extra to have this stylist do it because supposedly she was a ';tier II';). She addmitted it was ';ashy'; and said shed try to fix it this morning. I went and she did a soap bath then a gloss with a bit of golden hue to warm it up. Nothing. did it again. Nothing. It isn't as bad but it is still definitley GREY/Green/ it looks like I stuck my head in a bucket of toxic waste. People are staring at me %26amp; my life is on hold till I get it fixed. What can i do? Please help, thxHELP PRO STYLISTS!- I was a bleach blonde (not brassy) %26amp; went 2 salon 4 lowlights and now my hair GREY!!?
    Let me tell you, this women was a freaking idiot and she is suppose to be a PRO! Even when you are doing low lights over hair that has been bleached you need to put back the red tones in the hair before you put brown over it. Just like you would do if you were doing a full color over the hair. Your hair turned green because she put the brown dye with a green base right over your hair that was bleached,she needed to use a red filler with the brown hair dye. She put a golden hue to try to fix it! NO! Get your money back and do not let this women touch your hair again. You need to have hair color correction done by a real pro.. I know what you mean about putting your life on hold.I've been there,still trying to grow the mess out that a so called pro did to me. If you just want the color out try using Prell shampoo or Dawn dish detergent, it will fade the color out allot, make sure to use a good conditioner too. Good luckHELP PRO STYLISTS!- I was a bleach blonde (not brassy) %26amp; went 2 salon 4 lowlights and now my hair GREY!!?
    Insist on getting your money back, then go to a beauty supply store, ask for advice from the people working there and get a friend to help you fix it at home. My friend had a similar experience and that's what she did. Or go to another stylist and let them clean it up but definitely Get Your Money Back.
    WOW u should go to a different salon e-mail me and tell me ur area where u live.
    i'm not commpletly sure, but maybe if you re-bleach ur hair it would help?
    Oh my god! NEVER GO BACK TO THAT LADY! It sounds like she had a problem mixing the color, and/or the color reacting to the way you bleach your hair. DO NOT go walking around with that hair anymore, run straight to the nicest salon in your area (it's worth it!) and book an appointment (request a coloring pro) and explain your story to them. Have them re-dye it for you and you should be good to go. If for some reason you are too low on $$ or some other reason, buy a specialty repairing shampoo and conditioner and wash with that and re bleach your hair. GOOD LUCK! I hope this helps....%26lt;3

    Okay, you have to take corrective action.





    First, put on a hat or headscarf. Run to your nearest H%26amp;M, American Apparrel, or even Target to pick up a headscarf or hat if you need a fashionable one to wear while you get this straightened out.





    Second, go to the Salon and make a FUSS. Demand your money back. Wear your headscarf to the salon, and defiantly take it off while you're at the salon to show them how much your stylist messed up. She is supposed to know better about mixing dyes and coloring properly.





    Once they give you a refund (they must, or you can report them to the Better Business Bureau for ruining your hair) put your hat back on and research for the best corrective colorist in your area. If I knew where you lived I could help. If you live somewhere major such as NYC, LA, or Chicago it will be relatively easy to find a well-known and respected Corrective Colorist.





    If you do not, you need to do your research. Google for corrective colorists in your area and then research their name and salon to make sure the same thing did not happen to someone who went to them.





    Next, make an emergency appointment at the salon by calling them and telling them about the problem you're experiencing. Let them know you need to get in as soon as possible. Be prepared to pay a lot of money and perhaps go in for several sessions of correcting. The stylist will probably have to strip your hair of the color that has recently been placed on it and will have to do some corrective work to get it to a reasonable color.





    In the meantime take a bath, relax, read, and avoid all mirrors. Everything will work out in just a few days' time!





    Also, check out this site: http://www.yelp.com start an account there and review the salon you went to so that other users and people out there can avoid going to the salon and having the same problem!





    Even though you've been dying your hair at home for years, please do not try to correct your color yourself or with friends, unless they're a professional. Good stylists have gone through years of chemistry at college to teach them how dyes react with one another and what limitations they face when they're coloring and correcting.





    Good luck!
    SUE HER!!!!
    Lucy A is right.





    I emailed you pretty much the same thing...





    You can get toner, which in nonperoxide, at a beauty supply store.


    It may help if you run some thru your hair at home, even once a week for like 5 minutes,





    I know this is not what you want to hear... but you really might consider cutting it in layers.





    I am so sorry for your troubles.





    You SHOULD also demand your money back.

    Just because a hair salon is good, does that mean its stylists are good, too?

    I made an appointment today to get my hair cut at this HIGHLY RATED salon.





    However, on this rating site, there is no mention of my hair stylist because she's new.





    Does that mean she might do a bad job? I mean, if she got a job a good salon, that must mean she's good, too, right?





    Doesn't the owner (who is supposedly this fabulous hair stylist) make sure that the stylist is good before hiring them? How? Does he watch them cut someone's hair, and judge them on that?





    I have long, thick, jet black hair that I'm afraid will get butchered, but this stylist sounds nice (I talked to her on the phone) and she has VERY good prices. I don't think I'd be able to afford having the owner cut my hair.Just because a hair salon is good, does that mean its stylists are good, too?
    The biggest reason that a salon has a good rating is because of the stylists. If not for them, it wouldn't have a good rating.





    I hope I helped! :)Just because a hair salon is good, does that mean its stylists are good, too?
    A saloon is rated by its stylists without stylist and hair saloon cant do anything LOL. You said shes new which means shell have a fresh mind on how to cut your hair, and she should be good if she got hired. You can ask the owner or someone else how he/she knows that shes a good stylist.








    Hope this helps!
    Well a salon is rated by its stylists. If the stylists were bad it would be a badly rated salon.
    Yeap, I agree with Alex. (:

  • Stylists--help with hair cut at salon-i dont want to go thru another 6 yrs of growin it out?

    i have hair about to my butt--but my sides r a little below my shoulders from breakage from ponys etc. i want layers that match them all the way around WITHOUT chunks/strings. last time i had this done she pulled out pieces n cut them short--n i mean short. my so called layers that i said no shorter than my collar was flyin in my nose n eyes-yes i was p.o.ed!!! i curl it everyday so i need blunt ends. how would u cut this? if i pick up the front straight up n snip then take the back n cut the same (straight up) it will be too short. what should i do? what do i say? i hate these people messing with my hair. the last few years ive had my hubby cut my hair straight across. now its at a length i can have a style again.

    Don't be jaded because one crummy hairdresser left a bad taste in your mouth! Give another one a chance. Let her know exactly what you want and don't be afraid to let her know you're nervous, due to past bad experiences. It'll keep her cautious that she's doing just what you asked for!


    I'd recommend some long surface layers in your hair, with some perimeter layers (layers around your face). I bet it would be beautiful!

    I want to work as a hairstylists assistant to get a taste of the salon enviroment and to get tips and such from other hairdressers before actually becoming one. Just things like washing and drying hair, sweeping floors, putting away + cleaning supplies, etc.

    You need a license to touch clients...But if your just doing regular 'chore' work, like sweeping, and whatnot, You don't need to have a license.Do you have to be a costmetology school graduate in order to work as a hair stylists assistant at a salon?
    to be a receptionist and go-for, you do not need a license, but to shampoo, or even touch a client in a retail salon, you do need to graduate.

  • Are you supposed to tip stylists in those chain salons like Hair Cuttery, Fantastic Sams, etc?

    I will be going to one of these places for the first time and I am unsure. I'd like to tip them for their great service.





    Do we tip them? If so, what percentage of the bill is proper?





    Thank you.Are you supposed to tip stylists in those chain salons like Hair Cuttery, Fantastic Sams, etc?
    Yes you must tip them because if you come back they'll remember you and jack your head up. When I used to get hair cuts (bald now), I usually gave a $5 tip for a $15 haircut. That's kind of a lot, but its my head and my hair we're talking about. They never sent me out of the chair looking like chewbacca so I compensated them for it. If I were you I'd at least give them 20%.Are you supposed to tip stylists in those chain salons like Hair Cuttery, Fantastic Sams, etc?
    Sure, just as you would tip someone in the chain restaurants of ';Denny's'; '; Norms'; or ';House of Pancakes';
    Yep. Your suppose to tip any hairstylist, even students. Of course, you don't HAVE too.





    Around 10 percent.
    I tip...each and every time. I usually tip anywhere from 10 - 15%, depending on what was done.
    15-20% if you're happy with the work they've done to your hair.
    yes. tip should be 10-20% like in a restaurant.

    Sounds like you're doing what needs to be done, if you want to spend a lot of money, you could do a tv commercial.


    Why not try to hire someone w/out a clientele since you're not having luck hiring someone w/ a clientele? Maybe walk-ins will come in %26amp; that new stylist will be available to do their hair right away, thus, getting her a clientele.

    1. At the salon I work at, we order from Joico and pantene, according to the needs of the customer's hair.


    2. We order from the phone to a company that has lots of brands not too far away.


    3.We order every 2-3 weeks for the normal sized bottles (The kind you would have at home) And the larger bottles are ordered about every 4-5 weeks. We order the heat protectant sprays and hair sprays etc. every 3 weeks also.


    4. Most customers prefer the joico ultra shine shampoo and they come in just for it. Also, another popular service would be facials and manicures, or pedicures in the summer.


    5. For shampoo, we order 5 small or 3 large and for hair sprays we order about 3-5 depending on the season.


    6.We like to have the orders shipped to the salon because it is easier.


    7.The salon has its own credit card and we pay with that. We have it just for that reason.


    8. Credit is best for my business because it is easier to have one card then having to count out money, especially on busy days.


    9.We tend to be busiest from November to February because peoples hair is the most damaged and needs more care.


    10. We offer the most discounts in the summer because we are the lest busiest because people are busy.

    Good Stylist or hair salons in flushing,queens?

    Since a new year is approaching, i want to dye my hair a new color and do something different to my hair. But in flushing there are so many hairsalons. i want a stylist opinion to tell me what looks good on me. Im chinese but i dont speal much chinese so i would like salon with someone who can speak english


    I dont care much about price range, as long as my hair looks nice





    Also any recommendations of any salons around queens would be fine alsoGood Stylist or hair salons in flushing,queens?
    Hey, cool i go to school in flushing! Sorry, i don't know about the salons there though.

    Do you think it would be a cool idea to have a hair salon were the stylists dressed up as anime characters?

    And specialized in crazy hair colors and anime/manga/scene/emo hairstyles? Would anyone go there LOL. I'm daydreaming about combining my love of cosplay for my future career as a hairdresser (I'm in hairdressing school)Do you think it would be a cool idea to have a hair salon were the stylists dressed up as anime characters?
    Nerdy Boom! Nerdy!





    I love it!





    There's a dentistry that's done up like Star Trek scenes... maybe there's room in the office complex they work out of... hehe





    You'd have to be in a major city though where people have money to burn on what you'd have to charge for such fancy digs though. You can't have your stylists done up and your salon be lame.Do you think it would be a cool idea to have a hair salon were the stylists dressed up as anime characters?
    Cool -- maybe, but practical NO! When you open a business (especially these days) you can't specialize too much or you will go belly up before you can say ';cut %26amp; curl.'; Do you really think that there would be enouph people wanting that kind of hair to keep you in business? And that's not even considering the comfort of your stylists. That job is physicaly demanding as it is, and I think there are very few people who would be willing to work in costume all the time, uuuggghhh!
    That would be the most awesome hair salon ever! XD If you ever opened a place like that I'd have to hunt you down and beg you for a job there. Some people say it's not professional.. and maybe it isn't, but I know a lot of people love cosplay and anime and would probably love going to get their hair done by their favorite character!





    You'd probably get business just based on the fact that your idea is different and unique and no one has probably ever seen something like that before. So despite what everyone seems to be saying.. I think it really is an awesome idea. :D
    It would be really cool and unique but most people wouldn't dig it. Too bad cause it would be really fun to get my hair done there. At the same time though the place I get my did at is pretty wild one guy dresses in drag sometimes the girl who shampoos my hair calls everybody female pronouns even grown men. one lady who does hair there has purple and green dreadlocks. My hair dresser hardly wears any clothes plus she swears like a sailor and they play really loud indie music all day and they are always booked up and have a huge waiting list. So maybe it could work.
    ummm no? who would go? i know that like some...kinds of people like color there hair weird but dont they like do it themselves. i dont think someone who studied how to make hair look good would do that....


    and whats cosplay...


    and isnt anime like japanese cartoon characters...
    i would. that would be cool. lol! but it would be unprofessional.


    mabe for a kids salon! but not a grown up salon. but it would be so cool to see that!!!!
    no thats not professional
    yeah totally but maybe in asia cuz its not gonna cut american standards...
    HOW LAME.
    Uhm, no. You'd get no serious clientele.
    wow i love it sounds like great i would go
    lol, thad be sooo cool, but id never be caught dead in there though lol.
    OMG i would love that i would go every effing day!

    Where did you go to school for cosmetology? What did/didn't you like about where you went? What do you think the most important thing is when learning this trade?





    The reason I ask -- is because I am currently in school for cosmetology. I attend the Ohio Academy - which is a Paul Mitchell Partner School. I LOVE IT!

Am I more likely to get a job if I attended a ';Paul Mitchell'; school vs. any other as long as I pass State Board?? Do you think that having the Paul Mitchell name will help me to make more money, or do you think that my skills will decide that?

    it doesn't matter what school you go to as long as you get your LICENCE! that is all that matters. you will still need more training after because in the real world no one does pin curls. malys offers classes, they are located in orange, ca and a couple other places. maybe paul m. taught you some better hair cutting techniques. good luck.

    Do hair salons have their best stylists under a certain listing, or is there a special way to ask for the best?

    person at the salon? This ';stylist'; yesterday totally screwed my son's hair up and now I am having to take him someplace else. School is about to start and when we got home yesterday he went to his room, slammed his door and was crying. I want to do what I can to make sure I pick the right person to help us. He is 8 years old.Do hair salons have their best stylists under a certain listing, or is there a special way to ask for the best?
    They usually have different titles... So the Junior Stylists are usually the ones who aren't that great.. I think....


    Then the senior stylists are more expensive but better... I'm not too sure about the whole heirarchy of salons, but I know that them two are definitely in there xDo hair salons have their best stylists under a certain listing, or is there a special way to ask for the best?
    it depends on what salon you go to- usually the cheaper ones like Great Clips, and Fantastic Sams only offer one level stylist (usually right out of beauty school), so you really can't ask for a different one there.





    But if you go to a higher end salon, like Jade/Aveda or Paul Mitchell, or even Vidal Sasson, theres a price listing on how much per each level, i think its like beginner stylist, experienced stylist, master stylist? it depends on salon- some salons have 2 levels and some salons have 3 levels.





    Also, read up on reviews of the salon and see who does the best hair- sometimes experieince doesn't always guarantee the best result. You can search http://www.yelp.com for salons in your areas that get rave reviews, and bad reviews.





    good luck!

    I'm a salon manager and NEED stylists...what are new stylists looking for in a job.?

    As someone who has been where you are.... you should also decide what you want in employees.





    Personally as a stylist now, not a manager, I look for education opportunities, benefits, competitive comission, friendly, professional environment. I am a professional stylist and enjoy a good challenge and continued professional growth.





    If that is also the type of salon environment that you want then you should look for those types of people. You can train the skills, you can't change the attitude. Go to local schools and find the people you want. Also talk to local sales reps. They will know the local salon gossip and could send good people your way!





    Working in a ';9 to 5'; salon would be an absolute nightmare for me. But maybe not for you. Decide what you want to work with first. And be picky!! You may be stuck with them for a long time!!!I'm a salon manager and NEED stylists...what are new stylists looking for in a job.?

    Protocol for changing stylists at salon?

    I live in a small town in the midwest with one nice salon. (The rest are of the Pro-Cuts variety.) The stylist who does my hair initially did a great job but my last two colors have been way off what I told her I wanted. When I saw my last color, I told her I was not happy with it and she said ';Well, we'll get it right eventually.'; PULEASE! I really don't want to go back to her, as it is rather pricey to get something you're not pleased with.





    I don't want to have to change salons, as this is the only good one in town. Can you give me advice on the protcol for changing stylists inside the salon? I've worked in salons and know the politics.





    Oh, and I know someone will say - Just demand she recolor you until you're satisfied. Again, all I will say is that I worked in a salon and definitely don't want someone who is angry at me to be putting color on MY hair! :)





    Advice, please??Protocol for changing stylists at salon?
    As a Hair Stylist I will say, you could ask the manager or maybe talk to another of the Hair Stylist, they may have in the salon to have it do for you, due that this is the third time and you don't really want another color process, cause as you know you hair suffer from chemical damage with every colorProtocol for changing stylists at salon?
    right now as u donot wanna change ur saloon then go back to her and ask her to change it when they say something then what is ur family doing or ur frnds u can cut their half customers or u can again work there and u do the same with her by mistake or anything u can do say the customers not to com here do not satisfy them as they did it to u


    best of luck
    find out what day the one you don't want to cut your hair is not at work and go then. Someone else will have to cut your hair.
    At my age this has happened over 4-5 times in my life time.. and it is not fun. I feel for you, because beauticians do get offended.





    BUT you are paying the bills - you are the boss. Just make an appointment with the other beautician and before you go send a note to your current beautician that you are sorry but you are going to (insert name here) and hopefully there would not be any hard feelings.





    Then when you go in, act as if nothing has happened... get in the new beautician's chair and go on with your life.





    Remember you are there only a few hours out of the month. But your hair will be with you the rest of the month.

    Attn. stylists--how does the salon get hair so clean & shiny?

    Whenever I get a haircut I'm always amazed at how clean and shiny my hair looks once it's been washed and blown dry. Is there some sort of trick to this? It can't just be the shampoo because even when I use the same shampoos at home my hair doesn't look so clean, shiny and bouncy. How do they do it??





    I'm wondering if perhaps the difference is that salons have filters to remove minerals from the water they wash your hair with whereas I have hard water at home.Attn. stylists--how does the salon get hair so clean %26amp; shiny?
    The difference is the length of time we manipulate the hair, scrub if you will, and we are always sure to rinse rinse rinse, if any shampoo or conditioner is left in the hair it leaves a film and thus the hair doesn't shine as well as it can, and also if you will notice, we have lighting that shines down upon your head to enhance the gleam coming from your hair. Also a hairdresser may be appling a little of Bio silk to your hair which creates a false shin in the hair, but it sure leaves it silky and shiny. As far as the bounciness of your hair, when we blow it dry we pull away from your head creating a lift, you can do this by blowing your hair up side down and brushing it the opposite directions, ie brush the back forward, the side up and over your head to the other side and reverse for the other side. These little secrets will help you achieve what we do. Good luck and Good StylingAttn. stylists--how does the salon get hair so clean %26amp; shiny?
    They use all the right products, have all the best appliances and know tricks that they can even teach you to do with your hair.
    omg i no its like my hair is healthy after i get it washed at the salon and stuff but when i wash it its like regular not all shiny and stuff
    its easier for a person to do ur hair then to do it uself. They may have a certain brush and styling product to help make ur hair shine
    look @ the shampoo/cond. they use its probably that!

    I need a haircut and color, but last time I was at the salon, the stylists were complaining about . . .?

    how certain appointments take a long time. One stylist asked the girl who was doing my hair to cover an appointment for her the next day and she told her that the client wasn't one of those that takes a long time. Then they were complaining about appointments that last two hours or whatever. Because of this, I've been thinking about getting the coloring done there and then going someplace else for the haircut. Or should I just do my own hair coloring and get a haircut somewhere else. I should also mention that I really don't like going to salons - I just don't feel comfortable at all. Plus, I don't like spending a lot of money.I need a haircut and color, but last time I was at the salon, the stylists were complaining about . . .?
    I don't think that you should just get part of the entire treatment done because of what they were saying


    No offense, but it is their job and they chose to do it


    If they disliked it that much, they would find another job


    I say just go and get the coloring and cut done at the same place





    hope it helped :)I need a haircut and color, but last time I was at the salon, the stylists were complaining about . . .?
    Dont dye your hair at home, it can tricky! If you have dyed your hair before at salons, dont expect the same results at home. Try a new place, next time you see someone with really nice hair that you like ask them where they go, and about how much they pay. Dont countine going somewhere that you dont feel comfurtable going. Your spending money to get your hair done, to have great hair that you'll love, and service worth paying for! Also remember you pay for what you get.
    ooh, dying your own hair at home can totally backfire... i would get the color done at a place, then get it cut somewhere else if the bizoinkas are complaining about doing their job.! [:
    defiantly don't dye your own hair at home, it ruins your hair and it can go very wrong. you are paying for the quality. the stylist's need to suck it up its there job, if they don't like spending that much time on one client they needed to pick a different career. you should try a new place, don't always go for cheapest though the quality may show. my mom is a hair stylist and the usual rate for dying hair is about 35 dollars, and about 20 for a cut. i suggest not paying less then that, or more for that matter.

    How do hair stylists at chain salons get paid?

    I ask this question because my hair stylist is constantly complaining about receiving small tips from customers. Each customer pays $75 on average for her services and usually tips about $5-$8. What portion of this money goes to her?How do hair stylists at chain salons get paid?
    depending on the chain.


    Most pay Min wage or 45% which ever is greater over a two week period. So on 75 she is seeing around 33 dollars then her tax is out of that. So lets say she is doing 5 people a day at 75, she brings in 375 a day but her share is 168.75. Not bad if her days are always like that. she take home for that day is around 126.





    As a stylist myself I feel it is wrong to ever comment to a customer about your tips, they are not required nor does everyone have the money to give one.How do hair stylists at chain salons get paid?
    some just get paid commission plus tips it just depends on where they work
    Probably about 10% of the total. I worked at Smartstyle in Walmart for a while, and we got 10% of each sale, tips, and a small hourly wage of $3.15per hour. So pretty much, tips are what you depend on.

    Do you feel most salons/stylists dislike long haired customers?

    I have been going to alot of salons, i only found 1 stylist who loved my hair long and wanted me to keep it that way.





    Most are quick with the sicissor and dying to cut all your hair, or have an attitude if u come every 5 or 7 months for a trim.





    I think its because long haired customers dont get trims as often as short haired or medium length,, agree? so they dont make $$Do you feel most salons/stylists dislike long haired customers?
    I've noticed that most 'male' stylists are gay and know that most men love long hair. So naturally they want all women to have that 'cute' short hairdo that men don't like. Need I say more?Do you feel most salons/stylists dislike long haired customers?
    I have clients with long hair that only come twice per year and clients with long hair that come every 4 weeks, it all depends on the client. A hairdresser shouldn't have a bad attitude about how often you come.


    If it's just a matter of them being scissor happy and wanting to cut your hair shorter, I'm not too surprised about that. With long hair, there's only two options you have with haircuts: layers or no layers. If you've mentioned that you'd like something fresh or different, that could be one of the reasons they try to get you to cut it (so you'll have more options).


    Money-wise, if the hairdresser is established, he/she won't really be making money from their haircut customers, anyway. Color is where the money is! But, if it's a hairdresser that isn't really on their feet yet, or just doesn't have a lot of business, then they may be worried about the money, but I wouldn't think it's likely that they'd stress about you not getting your hair cut very often.
    I don't dislike long haired customers unless they want a perm! jk Some stylists do get upset if you only come in a few times a year but the way the economy is, they had better get used to it. I have regulars who come every 3 weeks and some who only make it in twice a year. I'm flattered that they come to me no matter how often or not so often. You are right about the money aspect of it, most stylists work on a commission basis so the more people in their chair, the more money they get. Any good stylist will give you ideas to flatter your face but at the same time, try to accomodate your wishes.
    I've started getting my friend to trim me, because I've become so fed up with stylists who insist that what I want, in terms of hair, is less important than what's in style. The last professional haircut I got, the stylist said, ';You'd be so pretty if you'd let me cut your hair.'; (The implication was clear that without the cut she wanted to give me, I wasn't pretty.) I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying, ';If you'd get your teeth worked on, so would you.';





    I *love* my long hair and don't intend to follow fashion again in my life. This suits me.
    That's how you tell the good stylists from the bad ones. A good stylists will work with you and your hair. If you treated a long-haired customer nice, they will come back to you when they want their hair cut short. The stylists that do not like customers with long hair because they want the money with out doing any of the work. And there are a lot of cool styles for long hair.
    You know I have never thought of that! My hair stylist loves my hair long. Maybe they think you would look better with short hair, but then again you do have a pretty good theory. I would say find one hair stylist that does your hair the best and knows what they are doing. Don`t do walk ins I hear that you get crappy hair cuts. Get a person who does not have attitude also, you don`t want to see a b**chy person every however so often you go.


    Hope that helped!


    Good Luck!


    --Kenzie--
    I think you are right in feeling this way. Not only because you only come for a trim every now and again but also because they want to try the latest haircut. They can't do this with someone who wants to keep it long.
    Well my hair stylist loooooooooooves my hair long.


    soo i dont know

    Can a stylist work in two salons in the state of texas?

    what would be the problem? if they're a licensed hairstylist can't they have as many jobs as they can get?

    A salon owner charges $50 more for a cut than his stylists.Total for highlights/cut =$300 Do I tip the owner?

    Yikes! Thats one pricey salon. I thought where I went was expensive. Highlights and a cut = $140.





    But no, generally you do not tip the owners. Thats how I've always been told. You tip the workers, but seeing as how the whole amount goes to the owner, they don't require the tip.





    You're paying $300 anyways. Thats a big amount, no need to tip!A salon owner charges $50 more for a cut than his stylists.Total for highlights/cut =$300 Do I tip the owner?
    Yes, you should always tip the person who provides the service for you. 20%, as usual.A salon owner charges $50 more for a cut than his stylists.Total for highlights/cut =$300 Do I tip the owner?
    There's no reason to ever tip the owner, even if he charges the same price as everyone else or is the only stylist. That's up to you though.
    Well.. I guess if he's the one that styles your hair and such.





    I guess it's just preference. He does get more than his stylist.. but if he does a really good job I wouldn't mind tipping.
    Etiquette dictates that you do not tip business owners.
    No that money would be better spent on a good money management seminar.
    I sure wouldn't. And I also wouldn't pay $300.00 for highlights and a cut! That's crazy!!!
    No, You don't.
