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.

The staff is very rude and unwelcoming. If I could rate this salon zero stars, I would. I have been to this salon once and will not be returning. I have had my eyebrows waxed for many, many years and this was the first salon to wax a complete, thick layer of my skin off. (pictures to prove) After an examination from a highly respectable doctor at Walla Walla Clinic, it turns out that it was in fact burns from wax. The owner tried to tell me I was on acne medication and that it was my fault. I have never been on acne medication. Thanks for accusing the client and not allowing them back into the salon. They don't keep this salon clean, the chairs are dirty and there was hair all over the floor. There are much better salons and hairdressers all over the Walla Walla area, I recommend them over this place anyway.
