Look at the stylist's portfolio on Instagram or their website before booking — work speaks louder than reviews.
Book a consultation before a major service (color, keratin, major cut) to ensure you're aligned on the look.
Ask about the products they use — professional-grade color and treatments produce much better results.
Don't book with the cheapest option for complex color work — corrections cost 3–5x more than doing it right the first time.

Pro tip: Tipping 15–20% is standard for salon services. For exceptional service or complex work, 20–25% is appreciated — it also ensures you'll get prioritized for future bookings.
