When getting set to make an appointment for your Quince hair trial, keep an eye out for certain details that will let you determine whether or not a particular salon or stylist is the right one to doll you up for your celebration.

Basic expertise in coloring, cuts, and extensions are necessary for a good salon's stylists. In your case, you’ll also want to make sure they do great formal up-do’s, in case you're considering to go that route. When meeting with a stylist, they should ask you to provide samples or to at least give them a clear, verbal description of the style you want. If they start working on you without asking for your opinion, you’re better off going elsewhere.

Another red flag is if the stylist is overly pushy in wanting to create something completely different than what you want, even after you’ve described it specifically.

Also, take notice into whether the stylist double booked you and another client. Although this is very common in most salons, you need to make sure they give you the quality attention you deserve.

You’ll also want to be serviced within a reasonable amount of time, without feeling rushed out of the salon. The person you hire to do your Quince hair should have a clear sense of time in order for them to arrive to your appointment on time and ready to work.

Although ambiance is important, it’s not vital to a great salon. But if your stylist works in a clean, professional environment, they are more than likely to work with those same ethics as well.

To find the perfect hairstylist and salon for you, pick your friend’s brains for their favorite hair spots, read salon reviews and check out various salon websites and social media pages as well.
