Whether you want to look great for a party and have all afternoon to get ready, or just want to smarten up before a meeting, there are 6 steps to do to get your hair looking great and give your confidence a real boost:

1. Shampoo properly.  

By this, I mean that you should invest in a top quality salon shampoo that matches your hair type, if you have coloured hair, make sure that the formulation of your shampoo is suitable, likewise if your hair is thin, greasy, blonde, or brunette, talk to your stylist, and get them to advise you on what they think is best.  Too many people simply pick something off the supermarket shelf and home for the best, when what they really need is a shampoo that suits them.

2. Condition deeply. 

Hair conditioners have a formulation that will add body and shine to your hair.  You know how uncomfortable and scratchy clothes are if you don’t use a fabric conditioner, well hair is the same.  Also, a good conditioner will help to keep your hair static free, which will reduce frizziness even more.  Massage the conditioner from root to tip and leave it to work its magic and make your hair look really healthy and shiny before rinsing it thoroughly.

3. Dry your hair well.  

Modern hair dryers will not harm your hair as much as they used to, but if you are going to use a blow dryer to get your hair dry quickly, make sure you keep it moving over your hair and dry it evenly to avoid overheating.  If you have the time, use the dryer on a cool setting to avoid damage.

4. Use a good Serum.  

There are a huge variety of great products around that are designed to smooth your hair.  Most salons will be able to point you in the direction of a serum such as Frizz-ease that will help to keep your hair looking great.  Generally hair serums work in three ways, by relaxing the hair, smoothing it, and reducing the potential for it to attract the static electricity that will cause it to frizz up. 

5. Use good quality hair straighteners.  

Most people find that the cheaper hair straighteners do not do a very good job.  You might find that they do not get hot enough to iron out the kinks properly on a single pass, and are not slippery enough to allow your hair to pass through smoothly.  Opt for ceramic or glass heating plates, and make sure that there is an adjustable temperature.  GHD straighteners are the one of the most popular brands around and ae commonly used in salons all around the world.  Their plates get hot fast, and are extra smooth to make styling your hair easy, all of which makes them a real favourite in salons around the world.  Ceramic plates will help discharge the static electricity from your hair too, and leave it looking straight for longer.

6. Eat well.  

Your hair is nourished by what you eat and drink, and will never look good if you don’t eat a balanced diet with lots of vitamins and minerals.  Hair is mostly made of protein, so make sure your diet includes plenty.  Drink water too, as this will flush impurities out of your body and keep you healthy.

Reasons To Keep Your Beauty Salon Reservation

5 Reasons To Keep Your Beauty Salon Reservation

 Beauty Salon Reservation

Life is hectic; it’s true. There are so many things that demand your time and attention. Between work, kids, family and household chores, there is precious little time left over for you. So, it is completely understandable why things like salon reservations get pushed to the end of your priority list. But is it at the end of the “to do” list where your next hair trim belongs?

The answer to that question is, of course, no. There are many reasons why you should keep your salon reservation. Aside from taking a little bit of time and relaxation for yourself, which I know is not going to motivate you since all of your energy goes toward enriching the lives of others and not your own, there are many practical reasons why you should not call and cancel your next reservation. 

Here are 5 Reasons to keep your beauty salon reservation:

1. Keeping up with hair maintenance saves you time.

You know how it is, your hair is doing just fine until that fateful morning on which you realize that your hair is way past due for a trim. It just won’t do anything. So, after hours of trying to coerce your hair into the style that it held beautifully just yesterday you resign yourself to the fact that nothing except a haircut will fix your bad hair day. But we all know that a spur-of-the-moment haircut is hard to come by. That means that you will spend the next week or so wasting time trying to style your overgrown locks while waiting for your reservation. Only if you would have kept your original reservation. You see, getting a regular trim, even if you think you can squeeze by another week or two, prevents this mess from happening in the first place. A cut that is the perfect length and shape will be a breeze to style in the mornings, and that will save you time.

2. Keeping your reservation saves you money.

If your stylist has regular opportunities to keep your hair in tip top shape, he or she will have to do less in the long run to keep you looking beautiful. If you continually let your style grow out or let your color fade, your stylist will have to do more work to bring your wayward tresses back in line again. More work equals more time, and we all know that time equals money.

3. There is never a better time than today to get your hair done.

Sure, we all think that we’ll have more time next week, that our work load will be less than it is today. But does that ever really happen? Let’s face it; next week will be just as busy as this week. And when you’re busy, a little bit of R & R will give you the energy that you need to keep going.

4. Another reservation is weeks away.

Why do you go to your stylist? It’s because he or she is a fantastic stylist and knows your hair inside and out. Well, if your stylist is this great with you, I’m sure there are other clients dying for your stylist’s services. If you miss this reservation, it could be weeks before you get another one.

5. Keep your reservation out of respect.

When you make a reservation, your stylist carves out time from a hectic day to cater to you. If you don’t show or cancel at the last minute, your stylist will end up sitting around making no money when he or she could have filled that time slot with another guest. Canceling reservations repeatedly may cause you to be placed on a pay in advance or last minute reservation list. Or even in some cases you can get fired for missing too many reservations. 

Granted, sometimes things happen that make canceling an appointment a necessity. When this is the case, be sure to give a minimum 24 business hours and reschedule as soon as you can. Not only will your stylist thank you, but your hair will as well.
