Key checks for hairdresser
- Ask who performs the appointment.

Explain the maintenance you will actually do
Tell the stylist how you normally wash, dry and style your hair and how frequently you can return. Show references for both the desired finish and features you do not want. Discuss how the proposal works with your current hair and routine.
Agree the plan before the appointment proceeds
For colour work, explain previous treatments and follow the salon's testing guidance. Ask which parts of the service are included and whether the desired result needs several visits. Confirm any revised plan and price after consultation before work begins.
