A new hair salon, barbershop or beauty salon is always a small gamble. The good news is that before you book, you can learn a lot from a quick look at its page. Here are seven things worth checking.
1. Photos of real work
Look for photos of results, not just of the space. If you want a specific style, such as a skin fade or copper highlights, check whether the salon has shown something similar.
2. Clear services and durations
A good page says what each service includes and how long it takes. That way you know whether "styling" includes a wash or whether colour needs two hours.
3. Who will look after you
In larger salons, check whether you can choose a specific person. If you liked someone, you'll want to find them again.
4. Availability that suits you
See whether there are early-morning, late-afternoon or Saturday slots, depending on your schedule. A salon that fits your hours is the one you'll return to.
5. Cancellation policy
Find out in advance how late you can change or cancel. It's fair for you and for the salon.
6. Location and access
How close it is, whether there's parking or public transport, and whether the space is accessible. Small things make a big difference for a regular appointment.
7. How they keep in touch
Confirmation, reminders and easy rescheduling show a salon that respects your time.
