The Price is Right

As clients, some of us shop for the best price, some for the most convenient location, some frequent salons referred by friends or relatives, and some seek out salons that offer personal customer service. All these factors affect price. I recommend requesting the best price for the services you require. Clients who are very concerned about the final result may travel an hour or more to salons and may have to schedule their appointments a month or more in advance. While this may seem inconvenient, it’s often worth the time and money. Remember, the price may be higher than what others might pay, but you often get what you pay for!

Don't just go for the green without the knowledge and the skills that you have copied from someone else, who copied from someone else, etc.  -"Hair Doc"

Why Sharing Knowledge with Clients Creates a Win/Win

11/17/2010 Dear Nadine, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything during our appointment. I am 32 years old, with medium length wavy/curly hair. I have struggled my entire life searching for the right techniques and products to use on my hair. I have gone to so many hair stylists, it’s ridiculous! Every time I have gone, I have struggled with: 1) the inability to cut my hair evenly and 2) a recommendation of a product that is sold in their salon. I have spent so much money on salon products that would supposedly make my hair less frizzy, protect my hair from the heating products, and make my scalp smell good. Before coming to you, I was straightening my hair with a flat iron at the beginning of the week. After about 2 days, my scalp would stink, so I would wash my hair and then wear it up, curly, for the next week. Then I would repeat the process. When I came in to see you, I was prepared to have a nice hair cut and relaxing day. I was not prepared for a...
