Things to consider when selecting a hair stylist or makeup artist

Women of all ages have become more and more beauty conscious, and why not? “When you look good, you feel good and when you feel good, you look good!” says beauty expert Sonam D. Founder of Doll Me Up Beauty Lounge. 

Getting your hair & makeup done isn’t just something you experience from the outside. It does a lot for your mental health and releases all the happy hormones!

A good beauty professional knows this and is committed to make this the best hair and makeup experience to bring you back in their chair. 

Securing exceptional services for yourself

The services you choose should boast of providing superior quality services that specialize in a niche. For example,You may book a makeup artist and hair stylist, but also want laser hair removal services. There is a good chance your hair & makeup artist will refer you to a laser tech they highly recommend, or have a specialist in house that they can direct you to. You can easily gauge this from their socials and be sure to visit their website to do a bit more research.  

 

An array of products & sophisticated equipment

The type of products & equipment used may directly impact the kind of results you will end up with. Don’t hesitate to inquire about the product lines and tools used during the service & be sure to mention your allergies & sensitivities. Your service provider should be excited to educate you in detail about their product lines and help make recommendations that will work with your lifestyle. 

Operating Hours

It is always a good idea to talk to your hairstylist & makeup artist if you need services booked outside their regular operating hours. In instances like weddings, many stylists and makeup artists are able to “open-up” upon special request and will most likely require you to pay a small fee. Remember, they are also human beings and have a life outside of work who are making exceptions for you, therefore should be compensated accordingly. Be sure to provide ample notice and plan accordingly.

Hygiene

The salon & beauty professional should boast of having a clean & hygienic environment, especially now more so than ever!  A clean and tidy space along with all the tools and equipment used are properly sanitized prior to your appointment. This will allow you to feel more relaxed, enjoy getting your beauty treatments and not worry about cross-contamination. Feel free to talk to your service provider about some of the measures they take during their hygiene practices. For example, they may ensure all surfaces are sanitized in between appointments, all hair tools and implements were immersed in barbicide & all makeup brushes were cleaned with a special brush cleaner that removes built up product and bacteria, to name a few

Pampering yourself  from time to time is likely to improve some aspects & the quality of life. However, you do need to visit beauty professionals with the best practices.
