The skin is the body’s largest organ and how we look after it will influence our health and well-being. Your beauty salon should be the place where you obtain professional skin analysis, effective treatments (that give you visible results) and luxurious pampering.
“7 Tips” on Choosing Your Beauty Salon:
TIP 1:
One easy way is to ask your friends or people in the neighbourhood. Referrals are a good way to help you choose your beauty salon. Ask the women in your area, as they will generally be willing to discuss the salon’s quality of the service offered and the basic drawbacks of the beauty salon you are considering.
TIP 2:
Beauty salons need to offer you beauty and skin care treatments plus additional services such as advanced manicure, mineral makeup, massages and a variety of facials that can be tailored to your skin condition. Your salon should be able to offer detailed skin analysis, intensive sauna and spa treatment and a range of specialized services including: advanced healing, electrolysis, mineral makeup and massage sessions.
TIP 3:
Qualifications of the therapists and the reputation of the salon are very important. Good salons display their credentials for all to see. Make sure the beauty salon you choose is staffed by qualified beauty therapists and experts in the field. An incorrect treatment, for your skin type and condition, will at best not give you the outcome you want and at worst can damage your skin.
TIP 4:
The beauty salon’s characteristics and features (Hygiene, ambiance, and decor) play an important part when it comes to choosing your salon. Basically it is the feel good factor because after all, if you are not comfortable and relaxed you will probably not enjoy the beauty treatment and you will not get the maximum benefit either!
TIP 5:
It is recommended, before starting a beauty treatment at a new salon, you take a look at the salon equipment being used. The quality of the beauty salon equipment is important for the salon to function successfully. Beauty Salon equipment would include the facial steamers, facial and massage beds, sauna and spa, reception furniture and other things that add to the ambiance of the salon.
TIP 6:
Value for money (not necessarily the cheapest) is one of the important factors when choosing a beauty salon. Most salons have a rate card that will give you a basic idea. Absolute price is definitely not the answer.
Professional qualifications & salon standards are your best guide to achieve value for money. Look to see what awards the salon has won and what the participation criteria were. Remember tip no 3 if your skin condition is not properly diagnosed or your skin treatment effectively administered it can cost you a lot more to fix than the savings you initially made.
TIP 7:
The Skin care Products offered for sale will vary from the traditional chemical based ingredients to the newer, more skin compatible all natural ingredients. Beauty products form the base of any treatment so ask what is being used on your skin & WHY? The beauty therapist or the salon owner should be able to give you a detailed breakdown of the product ingredients and why they will benefit your skin type and condition.
The very best beauty salons offer a cosmetic ingredient evaluation service. You bring the skin care product you are currently using and have the product ingredients, listed on the back of the label, evaluated for skin compatibility and how effective the ingredients would be for your individual skin type and condition.
Finally, many people consider location or looking at a website a more important criteria than the above when choosing a beauty salon.
Effectiveness is the key. It is worth travelling that extra mile, for a professional, results based high quality service.
I hope these tips will help guide you to select the most efficient and reliable beauty salon that delivers the best skin care results for you!
