According to Statista, in 2020, 59.02 million Americans had four or more hair cuts. When you are making a trip to visit your hair stylist for a cut or color, you may be too distracted with the process and results to remember all of the questions you wanted to ask them. Here are the answers to just a few of the questions that hair stylists hear on a regular basis.

What Shampooing Mistakes Could I Be Making?

While it may seem obvious to some, plenty of people are unaware that they should be wetting their whole head prior to using shampoo. Not doing so results in a less effective lather. Additionally, you want to be sure you are using the correct amount of shampoo. You should create a dollop a little bigger than a quarter into your hand before introducing the product to your roots. Move your fingers in a circular motion to lather the product across your scalp. Prioritize the scalp!

How Frequently Should I Visit My Hair Stylist?

You should be making a trip to your hair stylist every six to eight weeks. This stands for anyone no matter their hair length or type. Receiving a regular haircut — even a trim — ensures that your ends remain strong, gorgeous, and healthy. Hair left uncut for too long is vulnerable to breakage.

If My Hair Is Dyed, Should I Use Shampoo for Dyed Hair?

Definitely! Using a color-specific shampoo aids in lengthening the life of your color. Not only that, but it conditions and protects your hair properly. The right shampoo and conditioner will keep your dye job looking fresh. Ask the salon professionals at our hair coloring salon for specific product recommendations at your next visit!

What Is Balayage?

Balayage — pronounced bah-lee-ahge — is a method of applying hair coloring. It is a technique that includes painting dye onto the hair in order to produce a natural-looking highlight. The end result looks less striped than the highlights from the 2000s and it provides a beautiful dimension to your hair.
