Beauty salon, this almost exclusively feminine redoubt, where it is allowed to spend hours doing "womanly things", take as long as necessary to decide the color of the nail polish, gossip with professionals and other clients, among other pleasurable activities. Of course, there is a portion of the population that does not appreciate the atmosphere of the room at all and only goes there when the situation becomes unsustainable. But is the salon really a place that allows everything? or almost everything? The following guide should be taken into account to avoid embarrassment and unkindness when visiting the salon.
1. Don't be late
Making an appointment at the salon is not the same as making an appointment at the doctor, that's fine, but respecting the appointment is fine for any appointment. Try to arrive on time, because there are other people who depend on your punctuality. If you are late, everyone else who has hours after you will have to wait. Also, are there commissioned professionals who depend on the number of jobs they do during the day? and your delay can hurt their performance. It's a matter of education.
2. Don't talk about someone else's life
Nowadays, in big cities, this is a less common practice because people know each other less. However, in the inner cities, talk about the lives of others? mostly badmouthing someone else's life, really? It is still one of the favorite pastimes of salon-goers. But besides being impolite, you risk speaking of a person who happens to be? the world is very small - it is known to someone who is there at that moment. Just in case, avoid.
3. Don't talk too much about your life
It is one thing to share small events in your life with the hairdresser, especially when you have known each other for some time, to break the ice of silence. Another completely different thing is to talk about your relationship details, family issues, unnecessary points in your sex life, and other topics that only concern you. Therefore, is conversation allowed, of course, as long as the subject is mild and does not invade anyone's privacy? neither yours, nor the professional's, nor that of other clients.
4. Warn? in advance ? if you need to cancel your time
In fact, this is a valid rule not only for the beauty salon, but for any service for which an appointment is required in advance. Doctor, dentist, psychologist, in short, every professional who works with an agenda does just to avoid hassles. If you have booked and will not be able to attend, please call at least two hours in advance to notify. This way, the person can advance another service or even fit someone who is waiting for a time. When you don't warn, or warn too late, are you taking up precious time? and time, as you all know, really means money to these people. In addition to demonstrating education, you show consideration for the hairdresser's work and time.
