I look for nasty workstations and shampoo areas (open perm containers everywhere, leaky bottles, tools all over the place, 5,000 cigerette butts and food containers scattered around the shop, kids running around fighting while she trying to curl your hair. etc).

and yes I’ve seen all these things …

I know it can get busy but no excuse for clutter, excessive noise and filth.

It NEVER DOES! I have had some horrible experiences…like horrible. Hair falling out (on only one side of my head), balding, bowl haircut. When I stopped going to the hair dressers and went natural my hair started to finally grow.

It’s a time trying to find a good stylist overseas. They can be few and far between. The good ones know they’re in demand and will either show up when they feel like it or eventually return to the states to work. Rockin’ braids right now until I can audition a new chick.

5. look at the beautician’s hair. If it’s not done or it is a hot mess, think twice about sitting down and paying up.

This one could mean the opposite, I worked at a salon where the top stylist was so busy she didn’t have the time to do her own hair. I always hated that however, put it in a neat bun at the very least…but nevertheless she stayed busy open to close and left late at night I guess since she had her clientele she wasn’t concerned.

I always ask myself first can I maintain the style that I want and does my face fit the style that I want. I have been pretty blessed with the stylist that I have had over the years. One thing that I have learned from all my stylist is that if they cannot teach you how to maintain and take care of your hair and what products to use to have healthy hair(relaxed or natural). You may want to find another stylist.

5. look at the beautician’s hair. If it’s not done or it is a hot mess, think twice about sitting down and paying up.
6. Ask to see pictures of the beautician’s past work. NOT magazines.
7. Your beautician should speak English, or at least the same language that you speak. Point blank period.
8. No means no. Don’t let a beautician bully you into a style.
