Top 8 Things Your Calgary Hair Salon Stylist Wants You to Know

Coming to a new salon for the first time, and seeing a new hairstylist in Calgary can be intimidating, so we want to give you a few tips so you can feel confident in your first trip to Rootbar!

  1. Always book a consultation when coming to Rootbar for the first time. We highly recommend booking a consultation so you and your hairstylist can talk in depth about your hair goals, hair history, and a plan for moving forward.

  2. Come to your hair appointments with clean hair! This ensures product to fully penetrate the hair evenly we must have a clean canvas. One of the old wives tales is that dirty hair colours better. This is not true in todays world. Our products are cleaner then ever and they cannot break through those rootsprays and layers of dry shampoo. Your Calgary Hairstylist will thank you for this one.

  3. Refrain from wearing white clothes, or clothes that have hoods or are bulky. Its very difficult as is to work on the head. When you wear items that block your hairstylist from reaching certain areas we can’t get the results we want. Also wearing white on a Hair color day is risky business.

  4. Bring photos! It’s always nice for your stylist to have a visual of what you would like. Keep the photos to a minimal of 3. When there is too many options it starts to get confusing for the hairstylist

  5. Be honest about your hair history. There are no judgments here, and this allows for a smooth process when the stylist knows what they’re getting into, and they can treat your hair accordingly!

  6. Products matter! When spending hundreds of dollars on your hair, its worth it to invest in professional products to keep it maintained between appointments.

  7. Let us know of you are running late! If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment, we may not be able to complete your service; in this case we would rebook your appointment!

  8. Tipping: This has always been a topic of conversation about how much to tip your hairdresser in Canada. Truth be told, whatever you can tip is always appreciated. Industry Standard is anywhere from 15-20%. Tips are always appreciated but never a guarantee and your hairstylist in Calgary will be thankful for whatever you can give.
