Finding A Hair Salon Brooklyn

By Helga Stokes


When choosing a hair salon Brooklyn there are a number of things to think about. While cost is a consideration you need to think about how often you will be using the salon and what you need from them. With a sensible approach you will find the ideal one to suit your needs.

The choice of salon is not always as obvious as you may think. Some people like to go places that are minimal and stylish, somewhere with a kind of A list celebrity feel to them. Others prefer somewhere a bit more relaxed where the stylist is friendly and chatty. There is no right or wrong on this which is why it is quite a personal choice.

If an appointment is required there is the advantage of booking when you want it. Also if you have someone specific you want to see you can often ask for them. The disadvantage of this is that if you cannot keep to an appointment there may be a charge and there is the danger that the person you want to see can get booked up for weeks and unable to do your hair for you.

The prices for different stylists can be very different. For example some stylists may charge if you only want your fringe trimmed. Others may charge a small amount or do it for free if you are a regular customer. You do not necessarily want to go somewhere purely because it is cheap but a more expensive place is not necessarily the best either.

After you have been given a recommendation it is a good idea to visit in person. This allows you to get a feel for the salon and whether it feels right for you. If you feel uncomfortable then it may be better to look elsewhere. There is also the issue of whether you can walk in and get a stylist or whether you have to book an appointment in advance. The advantage of booking an appointment is that if you find a stylist you like then you can ask for them specifically.

Another important issue is hygiene. Take a look around and see if it looks tidy. A stylist needs to know handle their equipment in a hygienic way and that hair is cleaned away as hygienically as possible. This is also something that they ought to discuss on their website to show that they are committed to hygiene.

Price is also an issue. In some cases this can be because of the level of experience of the stylist with some places offering free or discounted services in exchange for training their stylists. In other cases it can be because they use expensive shampoos or gels. Prices can vary a lot and this may not necessarily be down to quality. Do not be afraid to try a few before you find one that you want to stick with.

You can find a number of hair salon Brooklyn websites and social media pages online. It is worth looking before you visit so you can learn more about the services they have to offer and the experience of their stylists. With the right approach you will find the right one for you!
