NWR: How long does it take to get your hair done at salon?

Don’t listen, I’m actually a hairstylist. Clients often expect great changes in a matter of two too three hours. Just because they might experience those wait times doesn’t really mean anything, you might’ve gotten a heavy highlight they might’ve gotten a light highlight meaning they had half the coils in their head. They might have gotten a cliche highlight with harsh lines you might’ve gotten each blended like a balayage to help it grown out nicely. They also could’ve had short hair or it could be thin, so they simply don’t have enough. That stylist could simply have a different technique because we’re all different or they could even be newer, it’s just not fair to compare if you know all of the things going in. I’m surprised she knows how long her mom sits...but if she goes regularly that’s a touch up not a full highlight I highly doubt if it took them “2-3”hours for a touch up that they didn’t take that long first applying the color style. If you can’t sit for five hours every time don’t fret touch ups don’t take as long, when they have you come in the first time they’re literally creating the color and using formulations and working with you hair and learning it. That all takes awhile. If you aren’t willing to sit that long for a major change then don’t get one, understand you might have a lot of hair and it could be course and it is completely reasonable for it too take a long time. I’m sorry if you didn’t enjoy sitting for that long image your stylist tho, because often people are more concerned with themselves sitting for hours and not the stylist working for five hours straight and then taking another client. Anyone telling you five hours is wrong I’m sorry is uneducated about hair.
