A good hairdresser is very similar to a kind fairy godmother who helped Cinderella to go to a magical ball. They are valued, loved and admired, because it was the fairy who helped the little cat to become a beautiful princess. Isn't that what we dream about, sitting down in the master's chair - to transform, change the image, gain confidence? But what if the hairdresser turns out to be not a cute fairy, but a real Cruella, the kidnapper of Dalmatians? How to find your perfect hairdresser?
Three simple ways to discover the amateur
- Clean comb - responsible master.
If the hairdresser's stylist uses non-peeled combs and scissors, be sure that you are not a professional. No self-respecting master will work with dirty tools. Combs, a cape, gloves, paint mixing bowls, scissors, razors - all this should be perfectly clean and disinfected. Every professional during the working day at least twice washed all the tools, and scissors - after each client. If the barber drops scissors on the floor during the haircut, then calmly lifts them up and continues to work - run away from him! - The shoemaker rule without boots works!
Hairdressing is first and foremost the beauty industry. And this means that the master himself with his appearance should inspire his clients to change for the better and care for their beauty. This, of course, does not mean that the hairdresser should have Hollywood styling and make-up with red lipstick, but a clean apron and clothes, colored hair roots and modern haircut, as well as a friendly friendly mood - already 50% guarantee of quality work. - Professional values its customers.
A good hairdresser attentively and carefully treats every client. He will never allow himself to talk about other masters scornfully, because he understands that this way he does not show himself from the best side.
If a hairdresser says a new client who first came to his salon, something like “And who did it like that to you?”, Think about whether you are ready to justify yourself to the person you see for the first time? Is it worth it?
A really good hairdresser will make his client comfortable during the cutting process. After all, for many people, a change in style or a hike to a new master is associated with stress - you never know what result awaits you. That is why it is very important to create a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere: to offer tea or coffee, to make a compliment, to praise the chosen haircut or coloring color - all these little things help to tune in to the positive and enjoy the care in the salon.
In fact, you can forgive a lot the master if he can make you happy. Agree, it is worth a lot!
If your hair stylist “burns” with his work and tries to make each client truly beautiful, give him a second chance. Perhaps he will conquer you with his skill, and you will never want to lose such a precious professional.
We wish you a wonderful transformation and new discoveries in the coming year!
Dirty tools
Every professional, before starting his work, spends some time disinfecting tools of the first category, such as scissors and razors. Also, capes, combs, paint bowls, and the workplace itself as a whole, should be in perfect order. No hairdresser who respects himself and his profession will work with dirty tools, besides it does not meet the requirements of sanitation. And consequently, if before the client are clean supplies of the master, then he can breathe out - most likely he was lucky, and the hairstyle is in good hands. In the opposite case, it is worth to leave the beauty salon.
Attention!
No self-respecting hairdresser will work with dirty tools.
The master ignores the wishes of the client.
Take the situation as an example: the girl came to the salon and asks the hairdresser to cut the tips of the hair by three to five centimeters. However, she has to go back with her hair much shorter than she had before, and, of course, with a terrible mood. Was she really counting on this, deciding to trust the master?
This indicates the inability of the hairdresser to take into account the preferences of customers. With complete confidence we can call this specialist incompetent, and henceforth never trust his hair.
Neglect of customer
A worthy master treats clients with attention and care, and in no case will he allow himself to condemn their previous hairstyle or even respond to them with rudeness. Especially disadvantageous are the masters, who do nothing but extol themselves, but speak dismissively of all others, especially of their colleagues or previous visitors. Few people will like to listen to useless information, and even in similar forms.
You do not need to endure this, but rather look for a benevolent specialist who will help you relax and enjoy the process of transformation.
Impatience and haste
If the hairdresser wants the visitor to be pleased with the result and he likes to do everything in the best shape, then he definitely will not be in a hurry. Good specialists know that it is no good to record several clients in a row, allocating each of them for a short period of time.
The master, who is constantly in a hurry and at the same time nervous, causes an awkward feeling in the client. In addition, such a hairdresser is unlikely to be able to take into account all the wishes of the visitor, and think about how to implement them.
Here the proverb “Hurry - make people laugh!” Is appropriate. However, a person who has come to such a master will surely not be funny.
Barber with unkempt hair
A well-groomed master, whose hair is not in order, makes a very dubious impression. With his example, a hairdresser should show how beautifully curls can look if you give them proper attention. Professional hairstyle is something that inspires, and does not make you think that his work will look untidy and tasteless.
A neat appearance, a clean apron, painted roots, a stylish hairstyle and a friendly mood, allow the visitor to feel in safe hands.
The master does not know how to calculate his time
If a professional is very slowly doing his job, the client sooner or later runs out of patience. Sit half a day in a chair and spend free minutes on an incompetent specialist, not everyone will like it. The visitor should not be even concerned with the fact that the master is new and is just beginning to get used to the fast pace of work. Or on the contrary, it will be pleasant for someone to come to the hairdresser at his appointed time and wait for about half an hour when the master completes the hairstyle of the previous client.
Only non-professionals can afford so ineptly to manage time at work. Therefore, as soon as the visitor noticed that the hairdresser is strongly off the schedule, he should leave the salon.
Barber does not want to communicate with the client
The contact between the client and the hairdresser should definitely be and the master should take the initiative to be the first to clarify any details of the hairstyle. Accordingly, the work in complete silence does not allow to establish a sufficient level of mutual understanding.
However, a professional who does not close his mouth does not cause positive emotions either, at least if this is not a conversation in calm, good tones, but, on the contrary, is too loud and tiresome. Of course, all this is extremely individual and everyone likes specialists of different temperaments, but the reluctance to communicate and listen to the client, still badly affects the perception of the master by the visitor.
Contact between the client and the hairdresser should definitely be, as it helps to achieve the best result.
This is not a hairdresser, but a shop.
Sometimes there are situations when a visitor is waiting for the next action from the master, and he, in turn, offers him a lot of hair care products that he can buy, of course, at his own at a fairly reasonable price. No professional will allow himself such a trick in the workplace.
But there are also cases when the specialist sincerely cares about the further fate of the client's hair, and offers to buy a set of care products in professional stores. In this case, the master will not get any benefit from this, but on the contrary, he will show himself from the better side, having shown such attention.
What else you should pay attention
- Imposing your opinion. A bad master is very persistent in making his proposals. It is one thing to advise something to a visitor, but another thing is to condemn his choice, and by all means push him towards his position.
- Hair coloring with clothes. Wizard everything falls out of the hands? He can not get together and lost sight of that hair dye fell on the client's clothes? Such clumsiness is completely inappropriate and causes a lot of negative emotions, and plus to all, damage to the personal belongings of the visitor.
- Constant attention switching. A phone call, chatting with work colleagues seems to be innocent. But, if a client is dyed his hair, the thought begins to turn in his head that the dye will stay on the head longer than the required time and as a result the hair will be spoiled. These concerns are fully justified. It may be rare, but there are cases when the hairdresser got distracted and forgot to wash the paint off the visitor's hair in time.
- The master does not apologize if something goes wrong. Some experts believe that there is no need to ask for forgiveness, even if the visitor’s hair began to look worse than before. They are only justified, but do not feel guilty. And they even pretend to be so conceived. Similar hairdressers should definitely be avoided.
A good hairdresser loves his work and goes to her with pleasure. He respects himself and his profession, will be happy to help visitors in choosing hairstyles, the desired shade of hair and give unobtrusive advice on their further styling. To find such a master is like finding a treasure, it is worth appreciating. As for an unprofitable specialist, one should not be afraid of getting up and leaving as soon as he begins to show himself from the bad side.
Sign № 2. The master does not listen to the client
When we come to the salon, in the head, as a rule, there is already an outlined plan for the future haircut. We trust them to share with the hairdresser, hoping that he will take into account the wishes, realizing them in the best possible way. And we do not expect at all that the master will do everything in his own way, and then he will say later: “The hair is not teeth, it will grow back!”.
If you notice that the hairdresser is persistently arguing with the client about his hairstyle, or instead of lightening, he highlights. A true professional will never behave this way. He attentively listens to the client, will make his proposals and, on the basis of mutual agreement, will perform a haircut.
Sign № 5. A hairdresser without a beautiful haircut - like a shoemaker without shoes
A well-groomed master makes an unpleasant impression at first sight. A professional should show by example how to care for your hair so that others envy. This does not mean at all that before work he should visit the make-up artist like a Hollywood star.
The master who respects himself and his clients has a well-groomed hair-do, light make-up and is always neatly dressed. Otherwise, the client may have well-justified fears that the hairdresser will react to his hairstyle with the same disdain as his own.
Sign № 8. Dissatisfied customers
If, having entered the salon, at the reception desk you will see a disgruntled customer who wants to get his money back, you should be on your guard. Perhaps he is from the category of those people who are constantly dissatisfied with something and get genuine pleasure from proving their case.
But, rather, it's a master. Take a closer look at the workplace, in relation to customers and other nuances that may indicate that you should not use the services of this salon.
Sign №9. The master keeps the client for a utility worker
Some hairdressers consider themselves to be so special that they allow themselves to demand from the client to apply foil lying on the table, or hair curlers that are "in that box." It seems to us that if this master were really good and could not do without an assistant, he had hired him long ago.
On the other hand, it is not necessary to treat with prejudice to ordinary human requests. For example, if a hairdresser once asked to submit an item without being able to let go of a strand of your hair, this is quite normal practice, because each of us may forget to take something with us.
Sign number 10. This is not a hairdresser, but some kind of advertising agency.
Imagine such a situation: while you are sitting waiting for the action of any means, the hairdresser aggressively offers to buy cosmetics. This, fortunately, is rare, since most of the masters are well aware that in this way you can only scare away the last customers.
You should not be wary of the usual advice of a specialist. If the master does not require you here and now to buy a miraculous shampoo or hair balm, he is unlikely to get any financial benefit from his efforts. So his intentions are clean, and you should heed the advice of a professional.
P The rule of a shoemaker without boots works!
Hairdressing – it is primarily the beauty industry. And that means that you yourself should inspire your customers to change for the better and care for their beauty.
This, of course, does not mean that the hairdresser should have Hollywood styling and make-up with red lipstick (although why not :)), but clean shoes and clothes, dyed hair roots and cool haircut, as well as a friendly mood - already 50% guarantee of quality work.
Чист Clean Combs - Responsible Master
How often, in the hectic, when the client is for the client, we forget about the important thing: the cleanliness and tidiness of the instrument ...
It is a tool that, without further ado, will tell the client about you. Combs, a cape, gloves, paint mixing bowls, scissors, razors - all this should be perfectly clean and disinfected.
It is very important during the working day, after each client to wash and process the tools. Allocate time for this when drawing up your busy schedule. If something fell on the floor during work, put the tool back or process it again, customers see everything, do not forget about it!
P Professional values its customers.
Good hairdresser attentive and attentive to each client. He will never allow himself to talk about other masters scornfully, because he understands that this way he does not show himself from the best side. And then, how many cases when they curse the work of the master, and then find out that they did it!
Really good hairdresser make sure that his client is comfortable during the process of cutting. After all, for many people, a change in style or a hike to a new master is associated with stress - you never know what result awaits you. That is why it is very important to create a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere: to offer tea or coffee, to make a compliment, to praise the chosen haircut or dye color and to make your own corrections carefully - all these little things help to tune in to the positive and enjoy the care in the salon.
