Finding the right salon is like finding the right pair of shoes - its familiar, comfortable and most importantly reliable.

Every woman; fashion enthusiast or not visits a salon not only to get their hair done but also for manicures, pedicures , waxing and in some cases make-up for events. To this end, every woman can attest to the gift that is a great salon.

For your comfort and satisfaction here are some tips to consider in picking a great salon.

1. A Clean Environment: This is perhaps the first thing to look out for in a great salon. If you walk in and the place has hair balls littered about, walk out. Salons should have staff whose job it is to tidy up the salon as hair falls to the ground. The cleanliness of the restrooms is also another factor to consider. A great salon should be concerned about its sanitary levels.

2. A Receptionist: Having a receptionist is important for a great salon to improve efficiency. A receptionist helps to attend to new customers without the disruption of the work of the stylists. The receptionist could also double as the ‘accountant’ to make sure that the bill is paid with a receipt.

3. Boastful Clientele: If a salon is really as great as it appears people won’t keep quiet about it. A good salon would be recommended by as many people as are impressed and satisfied about the services that are provided.

4. Work ethic of the stylists: A salon is nothing with mediocre staff. Salon staff are expected to be professional in their conduct, no one likes a stylist who is talkative and assertive, a salon should have stylists who listen and do what you say, as well as from time to time offer hair tips.

5. Furniture and gadgets : There are quite a few standard items that a great salon should have, they are; mirrors, capes for the customers, shampoo bowls, various types of combs etc.
