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!

    What's the best salon shampoo for alot of volume and shine?

    I'm tired of using drugstore shampoos, they just make my hair dry and frizzy. I really want to try a salon quality shampoo to get alot of volume and shine. I want to try the Joico line, but I'm still not sure. What is the best shampoo out there?What's the best salon shampoo for alot of volume and shine?
    This believe it or not is an excellent question and not easily answered.





    Everyone's hair reacts to products differently...all salon volumizing shampoo's have panthenol in it but it is the other factors that may or may not work in your hair.





    So plan on playing a little bit. Call some salons and ask them how much for a shampoo and blow dry. Ask them to use a volumizing shampoo, conditioner and shine agent.





    All of the major salon lines have volumizing lines. I am particular to Paul Mitchell's extra body line...but that is what I found works on my hair the best. for you it could be Joico or Redken. However Paul Mitchell has this Thicken up serum that you can put in your hair after it is washed that adds more panthenol in it and gives it trememous shine.





    Have fun!What's the best salon shampoo for alot of volume and shine?
    Hey,


    I don't know about salon shampoos, but treseme seems to match your description?


    I use loreal elvive which is really great. Its not a salon shampoo, but it does give your hair alot of shine and strength!


    Also, i would recommend using 'shockwaves' style and body mousse. You apply this just after you have washed your hair, and then dry it thoroughly...it works really great for shine AND volume. Also, if you blow dry your hair be sure to use a heat protector (i would recommend 'paul mitchell heat seal', this should protect your hair, and deal with the issue of dry hair.


    If you use a blowdryer, for added volume dry your hair upside down, and if you use a straightener, straighten your hair upside down...This is an alternative to teasing your hair, and using hairspray (which can do alot of damage to your hair)...Also, to prevent frizziness use Paul Mitchell 'super skinny serum'...It is really good AND acts extra shine. I am sure that paul mitchell do shampoo so it might be worth taking a look at. You could also ask your hairdresser for advice?


    Good Luck, and i hope i helped


    Karishma
    Nexxus is definetly the best. I have tried everything you can imagine. I love the smell and it works very very well in making hair soft and shiny. Definetly worth the price.
    Redken volumizing shampoo and conditioner. they also make something called guts-10 that is an added volumizer.


    i love redken...and it's very high quality

    How long would I Have to go to a tanning salon before I get a noticable tan?

    Ive been working this summer and haven't gotten a chance to get a tan, so i was thinking of going to a salon before school starts. I don't know too much about tanning so about how long and often would I have to go to the salon before I get a noticeable summer tan? I tan pretty easily although I am pretty pale at the moment.How long would I Have to go to a tanning salon before I get a noticable tan?
    i got tan about a wk after going.i went like 5 times that wk.


    for 10 minutes at each time.


    and you move up so to maintain ur tan each wk you would only needa go once at a 20 min session %26lt;- thats what i do now %26amp; boyyy am i tan :]How long would I Have to go to a tanning salon before I get a noticable tan?
    It all depends on your skin type. They say it takes three sessions before you notice any difference. Make sure you use a tanning lotion and that will accelerate your tan as well.
    I would suggest about 5 days if you go day after. However do not go for long periods at first especially since you say your pale, you may burn.
    just spend the night in the tanning bed you will be tan by AM.

    I have a beauty salon and want to put a 2 part epoxy over my vinyl floor without removing the exiting floor?

    would I be able to clean the 2 part epoxy with a buffer?I have a beauty salon and want to put a 2 part epoxy over my vinyl floor without removing the exiting floor?
    As this is a proprietary product you need advice from the manufacturer. Some are designed as underlayers and aren't very attractive. Others are intended to be laid as final finish.I have a beauty salon and want to put a 2 part epoxy over my vinyl floor without removing the exiting floor?
    ya the other guy is right, but to add something - im thinkin your wanting to resurface the whole floor probley thick enough to call it the final finish- if thats true - well alot of these are not to attractive by themselves- but if you apply one that allows you to do so- add alittle colorant to the mix (kinda expensive) they do look better, and if you are wanting to be able to clean it up and buff it out once in a while most can be sealed with a sealer to add a shiny finish (looks alot better). With a few layers of sealer- it can be buffed out regularly, usually without the sealer they have a dull finish (kinda like concrete) and buffing wont do anything except ruin your buffer. 2 hints- make sure you buy and spread alot of the epoxy- enough to cover a half inch think cause it sometimes breaks and flakes off if thinner- especially on a older and unlevel floor. also the more the sealer- the better the finish.

  • Who is more easily hired to work in a beauty salon?

    I was wondering is it easier for a manicurist/pedicurist or a facialist to find a job in a beauty salon? Which one makes better money?Who is more easily hired to work in a beauty salon?
    Personally, I think you are looking at it all wrong. From what I am reading, it seems as though you will choose whichever is more profitable. You will not be doing the beauty industry - or yourself, any favors by doing this. The most successful people in the beauty industry are in it because they love what they do. The ones who go into any field for nothing other than financial gain tend to be miserable, and very unhappy with their work. Don't pick one career over another simply because your earning potential is greater. Instead, pick a career that you will enjoy doing. It will not only give you more job satisfaction in the long run, but it will also benefit the beauty industry as well. Even more than that, your potential future clients will gain from your being in the job because you love what you are doing. Do it just for the money, and they are the ones who lose. Its usually quite evident if a person really loves what they do, or not. If you aren't happy with your work, and do not show enthusiasm each and every day, then don't plan on making much money in either because you won't have many clients wanting services from you. Its as simple as that. Sure, you might get some here and there, but when they sense that you aren't really happy with your work, they'll just find someone who is and give their business to them instead. Just something to think about...Who is more easily hired to work in a beauty salon?
    More women get mani/pedis than facials, so my money's on the manicurist.
    i think it;s a market for all but it depends on the quality of the salon and also the city or town you are in and locations are the best way to decide. look at the quality of the neighboorhood your working in. i'd try something upscale where the money is.
    it depends on the city and the salon. not all salons offer all services. a lot of estheticians (who do facials) work in spas instead of salons. a hair dresser obviously has an easier way in to a salon, and possibly a nail tech in most areas.
    The art of a facial is very difficult to master. However, if you do, you will make more money as a facialist than as a manicurist or pedicurist.





    A good facialist is very difficult to find, most spa goers will tip their facialist appreciatively because of this.





    Manicurists and pedicurists are very common. It may be easy to find a job, but you will not make as much in tips as a facialist.





    Hope this helps!
    Do both. With proper organization you could scedule apointments for both if the salon you are working in could accomodate you.

    How can i get tan without going to the tanning salon?

    I really need a tan! How can i do it without going to the tanning salon and getting sun burnt?How can i get tan without going to the tanning salon?
    Go outside and let the sun radiate on your skin for short periods of time every day. You will acquire a warm glow without doing irreversible damage to your skin like you get at tanning salons and extreme exposure to the sun.





    Do you know the harmful effects of dying your skin?


    A long lasting dye is derived from black walnut husks. It will last for months and months.How can i get tan without going to the tanning salon?
    Spray tans, but they are expensive and they start to wear off after 7 days and it starts to make splotches all over (looks gross). You can do self tanners but majority of then make you look orange and they start to leave splotches also. I go to the tanning salon and wear a really light sun block, it works nothing over 5% sunblock. My skin got use to the tanning after 5 days, when I go in without sunblock I only do 7 minutes, after about a week I was pretty dark. I pay more for the most powerful tanning bed, because it works faster and it doesn't make me burn.
    If you live in a state or place that isn't very sunny


    especially during February then you should go to


    your local store(e.g. walmart,target,CVS,Wallgreens)


    you can buy some lotions that enhance your natural


    tan. like nuetrogena!
    Low spf sunscreen and go outside or blacklight or snow.
    put spf whatever and lay outside if theres no sun get a spray on tan or get body wash that you use in the shower and it gives you a little more color every time you use it:)





    SURE HOPE THIS HELPS:)
    Take me seriously on this. The only way to get a good tan is to go into the water. I know, but you have to go in and move. You get the most sun like that.
    go to the beach, use bronzer, and wear tank tops to let the sun soak in! You can use tanning body wash. Most of all just lay out in the sun.
    well you could invest in expensice fake tan, it wlould have to be expensive though, cheap ones never work.


    Good luck hun x

    What do you look for when using a tanning salon?

    I am in the process of opening my own tanning salon and any opinions would be appreciated. I want to be able to provide the best services possible. Thank you.What do you look for when using a tanning salon?
    I like a colorful atmosphere, clean lobby and tanning rooms/beds, a few different selections for types of beds, and a good amount of beds...at least 6-10. The Mystic Tan has also become quite popular, so it might be a good idea to have one of those too. I also like good prices on tanning lotions, and a good range of lotion brands and types. An extra fan in the room (besides the one that's with the tanning bed) is also great. A radio in each room, or speakers in each room connected to one radio are also nice. And it's helpful to have a chair (even if plastic) in each room, to lay your purse and clothes on while you tan. A trash can in each room is also good, for people that buy samples, so they can just trash the empty packette before leaving. It's also a good idea to keep a bottle of the spray cleaner in each room, because I prefer to clean the bed myself before I use it, just in case someone before me forgot to do that. And towels in each room, to go along with the cleaner. You can also offer loaner eyewear, though I am the type that prefers to use their own...it just feels more sanitary to me.





    It also helps to have friendly, well-trained staff members that are able to answer almost any question a customer might have about the tanning process.What do you look for when using a tanning salon?

    What is it like to go to the beauty salon and get a full set of nails for the first time?

    well i work at one. so you go in and they ask you if you want acrylic or gels. i would choose gels. they last longer and look better. then they start to perform a regular manicure, but rather than just puting polish on they cut all your nails off ( for the fake nails to be put on) then unpolish your nails (buff) them and apply the nails. now its not over yet. afterwards they put on a gel coat which need to be stuck under a uv machine to dry quickly. there are many layers put on to ensure the nails durabilty. afterwards its given one topcoat as sort of a ';stain'; to keep it shiny and protect the gel underneath. its also put under the uv machine to let dry. but be careful it still may be sticky. (btw some people can get a french or color, they would add it after the gel has dryed)

    Diana's answer EXACTLY. It hurts a little for the first few days, but you HAVE to fall in love with them! They, in a weird way, seem to eliminate the imperfections of fingers... if that makes sense.





    But if you don't have them push your cuticles up, it is horrible.
    Unless you have a lot of money, don't get this started. You have to pay to keep it up and they take your natural nails down really thin. It is not healthy for your nails.
