Salon Etiquette 101 – How to Get the Best Experience at Allan’s

Why Salon Etiquette Matters

Walking into a barbershop is more than just getting a haircut it’s a grooming experience. At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we’re committed to making every visit smooth, respectful, and rewarding. Knowing a few basics of salon etiquette ensures that both you and your barber get the best results possible.

1. Arrive on Time for Your Appointment

Punctuality is key to keeping everything on track. Arriving a few minutes early:

  • Gives you time to relax and discuss your cut

  • Helps your barber stay on schedule

  • Ensures you get the full attention you deserve

If you’re running late or can’t make it, give Allan’s a call as early as possible.

2. Know What You Want  But Be Open to Advice

While it’s great to come in with a reference photo or idea, trust that Allan’s barbers are styling professionals. They’ll offer suggestions based on:

  • Your face shape

  • Hair texture

  • Current trends

  • Maintenance routine

Open communication leads to the best result a style that suits both your vision and your daily life.

3. Keep Your Hair Clean Before the Appointment

Showing up with clean, dry hair helps your barber work more efficiently. At Allan’s, we appreciate when clients arrive with product-free hair, especially if you're coming in for:

  • A dry cut

  • Beard shaping

  • Coloring or chemical treatments

4. Stay Off Your Phone During the Service

It’s not just about being polite moving around or looking down at your phone makes precise work harder (especially with fades and razors). Let yourself enjoy the moment and give your barber your full focus.

5. Tip and Say Thank You

If you’re happy with the service, let your barber know! A small tip or even a kind word goes a long way.
