Have you ever stopped to realize how you feel when you first walk into a salon? What strikes you first? When you walk into a new salon, what makes you decide if you want to stay? Every salon is different - each has its own ambiance. There are a thousand things that go into the personality of a salon - and every one of them register on some level the moment you walk in. Do you want to feel energized or relaxed? Do you like the busy buzz of people around you or do you want your own little private oasis? Do you want to watch T.V., listen to quiet jazz, or talk to the people around you? So much goes into the design of a salon - it's a mix of the owner's personality and the demographic the owner is focusing on. You may absolutely love your stylist, but if he or she is working in an environment that just isn't "you", you'll never be completely happy with the experience.
I've been in salons where my clients have been driven mad by the music the owner plays, or irritated by the constant bombardment of noise in an overly-crowded space. Or they've been charmed by the owner's attention to detail in decorations or in the little gestures of hospitality. It makes a huge difference to your salon experience to be in the environment that suits you. Everyone knows how important it is to find the stylist they can bond with and work with over the long haul, but few people realize what an important element the salon itself is. So the next time you walk into your favorite salon, take a second to stop and look around - what makes you happy to be there? Or what is there that quietly irritates you each time you walk in the door? Either way, let your stylist know! We always appreciate feedback, and we will always be looking for ways to make your experience better. So get the most out of your salon experience - it's your time and money you're spending - make it the best salon time you can have!
I'd love to hear about your salon experience - what have you loved about the salons you've gone to? Or what have you wanted to scream about? What did you want to tell your stylist about that you hated but didn't want to speak up about? Did some salon just do an incredible job at making you feel great? Let me know! I'm always looking for ways to make my client's experience better, and I'd love to hear your ideas. Fire away!
