Choosing The Right Salon For You

Choosing a salon and then a hair designer isn’t easy. How do you do it? All salons have the same elements; a front desk, shampoo bowls, stylists, shears and combs and the support personnel.

The first question to ask is, “What separates one salon from another?”

In a word; education.

The top salons just happen to be ‘tops’ in education. A salon that is centered on education will deliver far more to you than a salon focused on sales. Surprisingly, learning the latest haircut isn’t near enough. Here are the most important elements:

The Guest Care Staff – The front desk experience should be a five star event. How you are received and cared for can make or break your experience. They cannot be an afterthought.

The Consultation – It’s the very essence of the salon industry. A great consultation’s where all great hair designs begin.

The Hair Design – An understanding of today’s styles is essential to be able to create a version for just you.

The Product Knowledge – Half of what makes a great hair style great are the products that are used to cleanse & style.

The proper products in the proper amounts make a big difference in solving your hair care issues.

Self-Management – Drive and consistency is the key in a creative field. You want energy and excellence on each and every visit.

Education is what separate great salons and average salons. There’s a lot riding on your decision when seeking a salon with great hair as your goal. So when searching the Internet or picking up the phone and calling around, ask about the salon’s educational program. A salon that is ‘education driven’ will attract great stylists. Not just one good stylist.

Home of The “In-Balance” Design Consultation™

To better meet each guest’s unique needs and ensure total happiness with each visit, we developed our trademarked “In-Balance” Design Consultation. The goal is to recommend a hair design that truly works for you based on your features, proportions and who you are. The “In-Balance” Design consultation is designed to bring balance to your appearance in three essential ways. Our hair designers create a hairstyle that:

  1. Makes your head appear to fit your body in a way that balances your silhouette.
  2. Makes your hair appear to balance your facial features.
  3. Encompasses the “Total You.” (How you feel about your appearance—what you like and don’t like about yourself—is the determining factor regarding your hairstyle and even the clothes you wear.)
