That’s right, Christmas is only 11 weeks away! Scary hunh? So what does this mean for your hair?
1. Make that appointment now. Most Hairdressers don’t re-book their clients, and most clients don’t think of it either. So you have 70% of a salon’s clientele ringing last minute to try and get in for those few spare appointments, invariably leaving some disappointed. This could mean that you have a regrowth you could land a plane on, or worse, you may have to go somewhere that can fit you in.
A new salon is always a risk unless you have good recommendations, don’t just chance it, don’t forget those Xmas photos will be around for a very long time. I have written advice before about finding someone new that may help. Each time you change a hairdresser, chances are that you’re also changing product brands, so you may never get consistancy in your colour, therefore read point 1 above again.
If you have a good relationship with your hairdresser they may stay behind to fit you in, but remember that a lot of Hairdressers will work between 50 and 60 hours a week on the lead up to Xmas, so they may not have the time. You could even ask if they could recommend someone that they trust. If you can do this, your colourist may be able to send you to someone who uses the same colouring products and may even be kind enough to give them your colour recipe. This means that when you go back to your Hairdresser that you can both be sure that the colour doesn’t need to be fixed.
2. Product companies close over the Xmas/New Year season. This means that salon are unable to order more colour or Shampoos etc during this period. Bad luck if they run out of your colour. It also means warmer weather for us in the Southern Hemisphere. Australia is already experiencing much warmer temperatures than we are used to. That of course means that more of us will be at the beach, out in the sun. So make sure that you have the products to get you through the silly season.
