Be Smart With Your Money

Here’s the breakdown on 13 secrets your hairstylist won’t tell you, according to the website Total Beauty:

  • Find your stylist through a referral and be sure to refer your stylist to others.
  • Saturday mornings are the worst time for appointments; this is their busiest day.
  • Best appointment times are earlier in the week; try to get their second or third appointment of the day as they are settled in but not very tired yet.
  • Schedule a consultation if you’re seeing a stylist for the first time.
  • A good stylist will realistically tell you what can happen with your hair; they probably can’t make you look like Jennifer Aniston.
  • Pre-book your appointment, stylists appreciate loyalty.
  • Do not be late; it challenges the rest of his or her schedule.
  • Tip well; at least 20 percent and tip with cash.
  • Remember to tip assistants too.
  • Listen to their product recommendations; it’s not about the commission (small) but actually something they think your hair needs.
  • Show how much you want cut off; don’t just say “about three inches.”
  • If you seek a last-minute appointment, ask to be on a wait list or speak with the stylist directly.
  • All hair textures cut differently; book extra time if it’s needed.

Every Monday I’ll have a new blog featuring a TON of different things us girls will love to share and know about. Today’s blog is just a sample of what is to come. Please share your tips and stories with me by commenting on the blog or email http://www.blogger.com/[email protected].

    Hello Everyone!
    Well, this is nice. Finally a place for me to talk to other ladies without all of the terrible things. No hate speeches, just good women sitting down and having a nice talk.
    It’s just nice. I go onto other web sights to blog and it’s nothing but childish, slander, with
    a bunch of people with dirty dirty mouths!
    Thanks so much for this!
    Sincerely,
    Holly

    I guess that since I’m here to I might as well tell you a little about myself.
    I was born and raised in PA and still enjoy life here.
    I’m a Christian, stay at home Mom hippie with a 3 year old little girl and a husband.
    I’ve been married for 7 years to my wonderful husband.(to be on the safe side I won’t tell names here)

    I believe in equal rights for people and animal. No one should be treated differently because of race, sex, religion, or anything else!
    (look what it did to the Jews in the 1940s need I say more)
    And most of all I LOVE God and my family and feel very much blessed to have such a wonderful husband and daughter!
    OK I’m done lol! Now, please do share something about yourselves as I wish to get to know you all.
