What should I expect during my first appointment?

For your first appointment at a salon, it is common to experience a welcoming atmosphere where the staff aims to make you feel comfortable. You should expect to fill out a client intake form that typically asks about your hair type, style preferences, and any products you currently use. This helps the stylist understand your needs and tailor their approach accordingly. Once settled, the stylist will likely perform a consultation. This conversation is essential, as it allows you to discuss your desired outcome, whether it is a haircut, color treatment, or a specific style. The stylist will also provide their professional input, suggesting what might work best for your hair type and lifestyle. During the service, you can expect to receive a thorough explanation of each step as it is being performed, which can make the experience more enjoyable and informative. Finally, expect to receive aftercare advice tailored specifically to your new look, including product recommendations and tips for maintenance. The goal of your first appointment is to leave you feeling satisfied and confident in your appearance, so do not hesitate to communicate openly with your stylist to ensure a positive experience.
