By definition, salon styling has to be different to home styling in order to ensure a regular clientele. Salon styling is client-orientated, therefore the target is to fulfil client wishes and provide support for home styling. Examples include:
Longer-lasting styles - this is possible through the combination of more advanced techniques, experience, tools and products.
More technical styles - for example the use of hair extensions, setting lotions and special occasion, one-off styles.
Unlimited access to professional, quality products - whilst professional-standard products will be available to buy over the counter, salon staff will have access to a wider range of products and can take advantage of this.
More time - a hair appointment should include time to relax, unwind, and talk about the day/week whilst someone else takes control. Often styling at home takes place when getting ready for work or going out, hence there can be additional pressure.
Professional experience - a professional hairdresser will have only their client's best interests at heart, hence a salon is the best place for impartial advice. For example a good stylist can create a look that can be styled in a variety of ways to suit work and social environments.
