You may think arriving before your appointment time will allow you to sneak in a bit earlier and maybe get an extra-long conditioning treatment, but that's unlikely.
You may worry that you'll come off as pushy or demanding by detailing your vision, but when a hairdresser doesn't know what you are really looking for, it makes their job much harder.
Whether you get a blunt cut, disconnected layers or some other fancy hairstyle, hair is bound to fall on the protective cape.
. "Don't go into their things to grab a comb or blow-dryer. Always ask first—it is just a level of respect and boundaries."
"Conversation is up to you. A professional hairstylist will be able to read the vibe you are trying to have for your service," says Maccaro.
It makes sense that you'd hit up the salon with dirty hair—after all, they're going to use a great shampoo on you.
Whether you go to a fancy-schmancy salon or a casual spot, there's no need to get all done up for your hairdresser.
"You do not need to apologize for the appearance of your hair when you arrive," says Getz.
