Here\u2019s your guide to returning to your favorite hair salon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do Make an Appointment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of safety precautions, your favorite spot might be working to limit the number of clients inside at a time. This means it\u2019s best to reserve a spot because they\u2019ll probably go fast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t Arrive Early<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fewer people in an enclosed space, the better. Either arrive right on time for your appointment or plan to wait in your car or outside until called in. The only downside to this is you\u2019ll have to buy your OWN waiting room mags for once.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do Wear a Mask<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This will provide a barrier between you and your Pro so that both of you are somewhat protected even if you\u2019re in closer proximity. Don\u2019t worry, you won\u2019t feel out of place. Your Pro will be wearing a mask of their own. Twinsies!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t Expect a Blowout<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a great idea to be blasting air around when everyone is so close together. For this reason, most salons are taking blowouts off their menu. That\u2019s ok though, because we have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/blowout-hair-at-home\/\">at-home guide to blowouts<\/a> right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do BYOB<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re probably used to being offered something to sip on during your haircut, but for obvious reasons that practice has to fall to the wayside. If you know you\u2019re going to get thirsty, bring your own bottle of water etc. Don\u2019t over-hydrate though because it\u2019s also unlikely that your Pro will let you use the salon bathroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t Come if You\u2019re Sick<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just don\u2019t. A haircut can wait. Plus you have a free pass to indulge in some at-home self-care while you recover. Prescribe yourself 4-40 episodes of<em> The Office<\/em> and reschedule your appointment for when you\u2019re feeling 100% again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do Tip BIG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about all those months you went without the help of a hair Pro. Think about how scary it might have been for them to come back to work (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/should-you-tip-for-a-virtual-appointment\/\">how scary those months were if they were also worried about their jobs<\/a>.) Think about how happy you\u2019ll be to have a fresh haircut. Take all of those things into account and tip a little (or A LOT) more than you normally would.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget, you can easily schedule your next appointment on StyleSeat. Be safe out there, beauties!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it can seem like a fashion risk to leave your hair the way it is now, it could be an actual risk to go to the salon IF you do it incautiously.
