Be Smart With Your Money

Here’s the breakdown on 13 secrets your hairstylist won’t tell you, according to the website Total Beauty:

Find your stylist through a referral and be sure to refer your stylist to others.
Saturday mornings are the worst time for appointments; this is their busiest day.
Best appointment times are earlier in the week; try to get their second or third appointment of the day as they are settled in but not very tired yet.
Schedule a consultation if you’re seeing a stylist for the first time.
A good stylist will realistically tell you what can happen with your hair; they probably can’t make you look like Jennifer Aniston.
Pre-book your appointment, stylists appreciate loyalty.
Do not be late; it challenges the rest of his or her schedule.
Tip well; at least 20 percent and tip with cash.
Remember to tip assistants too.
Listen to their product recommendations; it’s not about the commission (small) but actually something they think your hair needs.
Show how much you want cut off; don’t just say “about three inches.”
If you seek a last-minute appointment, ask to be on a wait list or speak with the stylist directly.
All hair textures cut differently; book extra time if it’s needed.
