Where is the best salon to get a haircut?

I live in Orland Park ( Illinois) and i want a hair cut that is easy to style straight. I am also only 13 and have to pay for it by myself.Where is the best salon to get a haircut?
I am against paying a lot of money to get my hair done and actually usually cut it myself, but I recently went to an Aveda salon (they have different names per different city but they're owned by the same people and have the same methods). It cost me $40 (the price goes up from $40 as the stylist has most experience with the company). The great thing about the salon, though, was included in the price, you get a neck/shoulders/scalp massage, shampoo/condition, cut, and style. A lot of places charge extra from shamppo/condition and style, plus you don't get the massage elsewhere.





The price is fairly reasonable if you have the money. It's definitely an experience even if you're only 13. Regardless, I would suggest that you NOT go anywhere that looks really cheap, because they may not do a good job. If there are any beauty schools around, you may want to look into going there. They are cheap (usually less than $10) and the people are learning, but they do have experienced teachers working directly with them when you go to have your hair cut.

  • What should I do to my hair at the hair salon ?

    I will be going to the hair salon on Sunday with my cousin. She will be getting her hair permed but my hair is naturally curly thick and long and it's soft so it's easy to straighten. I don't want to perm it I just wanna figure out what kind of hairstyle should I go for at the salon.





    If you can please provide links to pictures of hairstyles.What should I do to my hair at the hair salon ?
    Just get it cut in layers. If your hair is already curly, you wouldn't get a perm.

    How badly can a salon damage your hair if your getting it dyed?

    If they bleach it, will my hair turn rough? I have asian-like hair, it's pretty soft and not frizzy. How badly will it damage my hair?


    It's my first time, btw.


    I'm freaking out about either if I should just get it done myself or go to a salon and get it done. How badly can a salon damage your hair if your getting it dyed?
    Go to the salon


    They understand the bleaching process better than you.


    Your chances of screwing up your hair is much greater if you do it yourself as opposed to get it done professionallyHow badly can a salon damage your hair if your getting it dyed?
    If you can afford the salon, go there. They won't damage your hair as much as you could damage it by doing it yourself. But 2 things you have going for you is that you have never dyed your hair and you have asian hair. Asian hair is very strong and can usually handle more. The more you dye your hair, the worse it gets, so don't over do it. and bleaching your hair damages it more than just simply dying it.





    You can also ask your stylist about a deep conditioning treatment that is usually done like a day before you dye it and that usually helps prevent damage. But Like I said, with virgin asian hair, you should be just fine as long as you don't dye it a million times.
    I use Preference by Loreal and I never have any problems with it, I color my hair every 3 months with it. My hair looks great.
    Hey.. I had same concern like yours . I found best answer by searching at below site.

    What are my chances of catching something from the nail salon?

    Today when I was getting a fill at the nail salon - the guy drilled me and it bled. He sprayed it with alcohol and it is now bandaged, I know there are tons of things you can catch - but what are the chances that I really did get something? I am all freaked out now.What are my chances of catching something from the nail salon?
    Not very high


    The alchohol killed all bacteria on the puncture the bandage is keeping them out.


    Also Nail solons Tattoo parlors, places that perform peircings


    must sterilize there tools before each new clientWhat are my chances of catching something from the nail salon?
    Well it depends how clean the salon is - did you see any disinfection carried out on the tools?





    If the tools/drill are disinfected between clients, you should be fine. If not...well...you may pick up an infection. It's extremely rare though to catch things through cross contamination in a salon. You could always get yourself checked out at the doctors.





    Drills are always a bit hit and miss, I know of well trained nail techs who use drills with no problems, but then there are nail techs who have no training at all, who just carve up nails without giving a damn.





    Always go to a clean, reputable salon, if in doubt, ASK TO SEE THEIR CERTIFICATES.
    What Caleb and Lillylol said is true.


    You just have to be sure the salon you pick really lives up to the health codes.


    It only takes one person, one time to pass something on to you.
    Chances are quite high if the salon isn't clean.

    What are the disinfecting procedures for tanning beds in a salon?

    After each client they place a little sign on the bed that says, ';This bed has been sanitized';. So what exactly does that mean? According to cosmetology, sanitization is basicly just the ';soap and water'; stage. Soap and water doesn't kill bloodborne pathogens such as HIV or Hepititis. Wouldn't they have to disinfect, as well? Does anyone know what they use?What are the disinfecting procedures for tanning beds in a salon?
    They use special disinfecting/sanitizing cleaners formulated for the tanning beds. They typically contain chloride and other cleaning agents.

    Why does the tanning salon make your skin so clear?

    I am trying not to tan, but I sure miss the clear skin. Why does it make it so clear? Any other suggestions? I've tried all the skin treatment over the counter.Why does the tanning salon make your skin so clear?
    Okay...we have lots to talk about!


    First off, Im assuming you're talking about acne? Tanning helps clear up the skin because the heat destroys the bacteria under the skin that leads to breakouts. Tanning in the long run is very unhealthy, as you know. It leads to premature aging, possible skin cancer, etc.


    Other more healthy alternatives that I personally endorse are:





    1.) Zeno...is a relatively new product that uses a certain temperature to kill the bacteria under the skin upon the first sign of a pimple....very effective. I bought one at Walgreens for $150 and it has been very helpful. Also it offers a 30 day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose!





    2.) A laser procedure specifically for acne called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a treatment that lasts about 3 minutes and it uses a wand that zaps acne causing bacteria under the skin. This procedure completely saved my life and self-esteem! Most Dermatologists perform this and now spas are doing it too. Its becoming very popular. Depending upon your health insurance, they may even cover it...mine did.


    I highly suggest looking into both of these and do not waste your time or money on all the other junk out there!


    I really wish you lots of luck!
