Yes, many beauty salons offer gift certificates, which allow the holder to purchase goods and services. Beauty salon gift certificates typically have a cash value that indicates the amount of the goods and services that the certificate can purchase. For example, a $50 gift certificate can be used to purchase $50 of goods and services at a salon. The certificate can also be purchased for something specific, like a hairstyle or manicure.

What is the proper amount to tip at a beauty salon?

The proper amount to tip at a beauty salon is 20 percent. This holds true for all services provided at a salon, whether it's a manicure or a haircut. If you've been assisted by more than one professional, you can break the tip down so that everyone you've worked with is compensated. In cases like this, you'll need to specify how much cash goes to each person, or you can simply put the cash in separate envelopes. A tip of $2 to $5 is appropriate for assistants who shampoo and/or prepare your hair for coloring.

How often should hair be cut?

If you want to keep your hair at a set length, it's best to get a cut every four to six weeks. If you're growing your hair out, you can space your haircuts at four- or six-month intervals. Haircuts can help address unsightly split ends, so if your strands have this kind of damage, scheduling a cut may help improve your hair's appearance.

Should customers wash their hair before arriving for a haircut appointment?

Washing your hair before arriving for a haircut appointment might be a good idea if you want the salon to provide a cut and not a wash. In this situation, washing your hair beforehand will eliminate tangles, and this will make it easier for the stylist to work with your hair and give you the cut you desire. Many salons include a wash with the haircut, and, in cases like this, washing your hair before arriving for a haircut appointment might not be necessary. If getting hair colored, it is best to not wash it before the appointment, the color clings better to slightly dirty hair and the dye or bleach might burn your scalp since it won't have the natural oils to protect it.

How far in advance should a beauty salon appointment be booked?

If you want to guarantee a spot on the schedule, it's safest to book your beauty salon appointment days or weeks in advance. This is especially important if you're working with a stylist who has a busy schedule. However, many salons offer same-day appointments. If you're making a same-day appointment, it's best to call first thing in the morning.

Classy Touch Hair & Nail Salon

Went in there an old lady from the back room yelled “can I help you?” I said I wanted a pedicure and told me “well is up to you” pointing at the other old lady. The other old lady gave me dirty look and looked me up an down and asked me “well is 45” and I said 45 minutes and she said “no 45 dollars so is up to you” and she looked away. She assumed I did not have the money to pay.. very rude...

JoHanna is the BEST!!! I have been looking into getting my eyebrows microbladed for more than two years now, but I've always hesitated because I never personally knew anybody that had gotten it done. Well, after one of my best friends (who is also a redhead) got hers done by JoHanna, I knew I had to go to her! JoHanna is very professional, personable, and really knows what she's doing! The atmosphere is relaxing as well as the whole experience. I also want to talk about her cancellation policies. They are very clear and are excellent for those that don't flake out last minute and actually show up. I'm part of a generation that has good intentions, but little follow through. Make an appointment, show up, and you will not be disappointed!!! I'm including my personal results that are posted on her site that were taken immediately after my first session and my results a month after my second session. I couldn't be happier with the work she's done. I feel like a whole new woman bursting with confidence! After getting mine done, the rest of my friends want theirs done, too. One has already booked an appointment and two more are saving money for it!

Karma Salon

Due to unknown and unexpected road closure I was 7 minutes late for my appointment with Jess. I called from the parking lot as I noticed I had 2 calls from Karma. The receptionist tells me my appointment needs to be re-scheduled as I am late. I explained what had delayed me and the fact that it's only a few minutes. She didn't care one iota and repeated that I had to re-schedule. I live in Republic so it's a commitment to drive all the way out to where Karma is located. Due to her attitude I told her I will NOT be back and therefore will not re-schedule.

Worst salon experience I've had. Payed over $90 for a bleach & dye and she did NOT put dye on my hair. I left the salon with yellow roots. Told her to cut all the dead ends off my hair & left with dead ends. She kept leaving for smoke breaks. Would NOT recommend at all.
