Do salons charge more for a veteran hair dresser?
Do salons charge more for a veteran hair dresser vs. someone that is learning and starting out?
I have an appointment for a salon today, never been there before, and the receptionist asked which hair dresser I wanted and I just replied whoever's available and she asked if I was new and I said yes and now I think that might have been a bad reply.
I don't want a newbie that is learning the ropes because I'm quite picky about my hair and I don't want to spend $40 for a haircut I won't like.
Thanks for your answer.
10 points to whoever is most helpful :)Do salons charge more for a veteran hair dresser?
Yes most salons do charge more for a more experienced stylist. There is usually a pay scale, with stylist on each level. However a lower level stylist is not necessarily less experienced. She could just be a new employee at the salon having worked at other salons previously. Also new stylist right out of school have had at least 2 years of schooling. In most salons new stylist have an in salon training, which last a year or 2 based on how quickly you pick up there techniques.
Your best bet is to call the salon and ask about your stylist and they're training. What I do is ask for a stylist specializing in curly hair and her previous experience. Like my stylist mom and sister both have curly hair and thats how I picked her.. she does an AWESOME job.
Salons sometimes put a portfolio for stylist on their website or explain prices based on stylist levels..
Hope this helps!! :)

Why do we tip hair dressers? When I go into a salon and am there for 2hrs, my bill is $150 that is $75 /hr.?
it's customary to tip people who perform services for the public: waitresses, cab drivers, delivery drivers (who also get paid a nice hourly wage + gas compensation), valet parkers, concierge, massage therapists, and so on. not tipping is considered an insult and is terribly rude.Why do we tip hair dressers? When I go into a salon and am there for 2hrs, my bill is $150 that is $75 /hr.?
You may be paying 75$ an hour, but the stylist is not seeing that much money. In an extremely generous salon, they may see 50% of that; more often they receive 35% or 40% of that. $26.25 isn't a ton of money, especially seeing as that's BEFORE taxes. After taxes, that's not a ton of take-home pay. It's polite to recognize their hard work and service with a little bit of extra, tax-free, income.Why do we tip hair dressers? When I go into a salon and am there for 2hrs, my bill is $150 that is $75 /hr.?
i only tip if the do a great job and are polite. if im paying $150 and your rude, the staff is rude and i waited 45 minutes past my appt time, not only am i not tipping, but im not returning.
kind of left field- but are you supposed to tip the hair washer as well? once again- if service is good i do, but feel a bit wanky about it, not sure if its proper
That's why I don't tip. I don't know why everyone feels they should get a tip for doing what they get paid to do. I can understand waitresses and people that go out of there way. But it's becoming ridiculous how everywhere you go people expect a tip.
First, not every hair-dresser charges $150 for 2 hours. You go to a very expensive salon. My feeling is that you go there because they make you feel good about yourself, not just because you need your hair done. So, really, you are tipping them for the good feeling, not for the expertise. If all you wanted to do was to get your hair done, you could get it done for $20 or $30. And even then, if the person made you feel comfortable, made you smile, and generally allowed to enjoy yourself instead of being bored for 2 hours of doing nothing, why not tip him/her?
You are getting complete care for two hours,correct, you cannot
do your own hair, they went to school to learn how to do Hair.
The price is products + expertize+ knowledge.It's one of the hardest Jobs to do.Then, the Stylist must pay her percent to the shop owner.Come on tips are part of their salary....skin care products

Hair salons with very feminine male hair dressers?
My son is very feminine and wants to be a hairdresser. Does anyone see many feminine male hairdresseres at their salon and if so tell me about their apperance and how they act PleaseHair salons with very feminine male hair dressers?
There are many strait guys who make themselves look more feminine and even quite queer in a salon because women feel more comfortable when they are touched by a feminine looking guy. Almost every male working in a salon has this kind of behaviour and girls really appreciate them because they're often much more sensible and nice than the female hairdressers. Hair salons with very feminine male hair dressers?
well they act gay. most are gay. if your son can get the attention and become very good, he can be a hairdresser for celebs, and make a lot of money. he can work on movie sets as well. a place like LA or NYC will help.
haha of course! wat world do U live in?! lol most male hairdresses r femminine ure son will b fine! why shud he act a certain way jst let him be himself. gay(or feminine im not calling ure son gay{unless he is}) are usually the best hairdressers
Yup, At my salon a man cuts my hair. He's one of the best since the girls really butcher up my hair. Guy hair stylists usually have really out there hair, they look pretty cool...And I guess they act normal

Question about Salon etiquette for hair dressers?
I have a question about salon etiquette. I've been going to the same hair dresser for several years at a higher end salon that is a wee bit out of my price range, but I splurge because I like her so much. She has been very nice to me and knows that I don't make much money. She has even charged me as an employee for dye jobs before (with permission from the owner). I didn't ask her to do this, she just offered it to me one day.
I want my hair lightened so that I can dye it green again. She has said before that the unnatural hair colors they use at the salon don't last very long and that I would be better off using Special Effects dye like I have in the past. I still need my hair lightened before dying it. I would like to have my hair lightened by her but this higher end salons starts at $90 for lightening, which is far out of my price range. Would it be rude to lighten my hair myself or go to a cheaper salon just for the lightening, but continue going to her for all other needs? Or should I just find a way to pay for their lightening services? I don't want to ask her to charge me as en employee again because this is a more complicated service and I don't want to abuse the favor that they've done for me in the past. On top of that, I simply think it would be rude to ask someone to charge me less for their hard work.
Any hair dressers out there have any advice on the polite and considerate thing to do?Question about Salon etiquette for hair dressers?
Of course you can go anywhere you like to have it done if you cannot afford your usual salon. There's nothing rude about that. You are confusing business with friendship, which a lot of people do. It's great that you have a good relationship with her and there's no reason that shouldn't continue. But you have every right to go where you can afford to go and she should think nothing of it.Question about Salon etiquette for hair dressers?
I think you should tell her the situation. Explain that you'd like to have it done, but it's prohibitively expensive. Ask if she has any ideas to help defray the cost.....and see what she says.
This way you give her the option or allowing, or even suggesting that you lighten your hair yourself.
It's possible that you just can't do this right now too. Maybe you need to save the money to pay for this and then just go do it and not ever bring it up at all. Good luck.....hope it works out. My gf wants to do the exact same thing, except she's thinking blue......maybe red or purple.
I'm not a hair dresser, but I'll tell you what I would do. Talk to the lady who normally does your hair. Explain to her what you want to do, and ask if she has any tips. Tell her that you appreciate what she did in the past. Maybe ask her which cosmetology school she went to. Often times the schools will charge less than salons will, and people are eger to help their school.
No, it's not rude to keep yourself from going bankrupt by dyeing your own hair. Your stylist is not a family member that will be insulted if you don't come in and only use her services on your hair, so don't worry about that.
You're correct not to assume that she will be able to repeat the favor, but you certainly can go somewhere else and find out if they can do it for less. You're not going to hurt anyone's feelings, it's just business.
It is never rude to remain within your budget. Never, ever, ever. It's only rude if you're rude about doing it.
Rude: Walk into your favorite salon and announce in a bratty tone ';you guys overcharge for lightening, so I got it done at this cheaper place';
Polite: Walk into your favorite salon and don't mention that you had work done elsewhere. If asked, you can be honest about it without being rude.
After all, it's the salon's job to take you to a level from where you were when you walked in, not some point in the past.
Neat question, and stay within your budget!
It's your hair and your money, it is completely up to you what you do with it. Nobody has a commitment to a hairdresser.
