Hiring a hairdresser: what to check

Hairdressers cut, colour and style hair, and many offer treatments, extensions and bridal hair.

  • For hair colour, salons normally do a skin allergy (patch) test at least 48 hours before the appointment.
  • Ask how long your appointment will take and what the price includes.
  • Look at their social media for recent work in styles like yours.
