Do you get your hair done regularly (cut & or color) in a salon?

What are your favorite traits of your salon? What do you like the least? What do you look for in a stylist? What one thing would make you leave your salon/stylist and never go back?


Thank you for your opinion! :^)Do you get your hair done regularly (cut %26amp; or color) in a salon?
I go every four weeks for a cut and color. I like my salon because it offers a good variety of services without having that snobby ';spa'; feel. It is reasonably priced ($60 for cut and color). I think (aside from talent) a good personality is key. There is nothing I hate more than having my hair done by someone who does not know how to hold a conversation. I found a stylist with talent and a sense of humor, and I'm staying put! :)Do you get your hair done regularly (cut %26amp; or color) in a salon?
First off, I am a hairstylist





Favorite traits of a good salon





Cleanliness


Friendliness


Skilled clientele


All in all, atmosphere and talent





Like the least:





Opposites of the above





What to look for in a stylist:





Neat appearance


Friendly


Good communication skills


I live by the motto: ';If she/he doesn't want to talk about hair, get out of the chair'; In other words, spending tons of time talking about things other than what you want done with your hair, or don't want ...ie: vacations, pets, relationship issues, what they drank last night and how hung over they are.





Fry my hair, be downright rude, CHOP my hair, yak about personal problems, be on drugs or alcohol or constantly talk about their night out, talk to other stylists and not pay attention to me (down to attitude and aptitude for ME)
Hi


I got to the salon for a cut, color and blow dry about every 3-4 months, I try to hold it off and do it all together because it costs me about 190 every time I go!


Ahh! and I'm a student!
I have gone to the same stylist for years and years, she is really great for me because I know she knows what she's doing, she has her proof in the booth right next to her because she cuts her sisters hair and her sister cuts hers...they have their own salon and they are just really neat funny people. I don't get bored when I'm there because they talk to me and don't just leave me sitting there. I have been to one place, (she wasn't there that day) and let someone else cut my hair...she messed it up so bad that I told my usual stylist that I wasn't going to get a hair cut until she moved to a different salon, because I didn't want to give them any of my business.
I TRY TO VISIT THE SALON AT LEAST EVERY OTHER WEEKEND. THE SALON IT KEPT CLEAN AND FREE FROM TOO MUCH NOISE.


I LIKE HAVING A STYLIST THAT WILL BE TRUTHFUL ABOUT A STYLE FOR THE PERSON THAT THEY ARE SERVICING AND A STYLIST THAT IS NOT CUT HAPPY.
