Family Haircut at Home
A trip to the hairdressers should be a calming and satisfying experience. Offering a tranquil place to be pampered and emerge feeling beautiful, and looking your best. Now this experience can be tainted if the visit involves children even if they are yours or not. The effect of children on your pampering session can leave you more stressed than relaxed, a home visits from your hairdresser is the solution.
Now after working in a salon I have seen and experienced women that were unable to attend the hairdressers alone due to childcare commitments, no one to have them, weekends, work commitments for all manner of reasons. Children can have an effect on a visit to the hairdressers and not only for the carer but also other visitors to the salon, and salon staff. During my time as a junior I had to keep lots of children occupied for several hours whilst parents had hair cuts, and also had to bribe them to sit still whilst having their own hair cut.
How much easier would it be to have your hairdresser attend your own home? The children can play in their own space and with their friends and their own toys? You can sit in the comfort of your own home, without other peoples’ children running around becoming rowdy. they are still within your eye shot and will probably respond more to you in your own territory.
A home visit can combat the pressures felt by parents attending the salon, children are able to be occupied in their own space with their own things, no fear of them hurting themselves in a strange salon. They are able to play in their own space and safely in earshot of parents. It can be easier to call in the assistance of neighbours and older children, visiting relatives. Enabling the client to relax and enjoy the experience of being pampered.
A home visit can also enable the whole family to have their hairs done in one go, sometimes the whole family may not be able to get a block booking that suits all involved but we do our best to accomodate. A home visit can enable the client to complete the haircut and then go about their own business. Children can be more settled and with more of their own belongings around them and in their own environment, and this can take away a lot of the nervousness they may feel in an alien environment.
Home visits will also cut out the possibility of leaving the salon and being caught up in unfavourable weather. There is nothing worse than spending several hours in a salon and then running the gauntlet to the car only to find you look like a drowned rat, or like you never attended the hairdressers at all. This will just leaving you feeling like the visit was a waste and even when these visits are a bad result you still have to pay for the effect, which is never cheap, especially when you walk out the door and it is ruined.
All round the home visit can make the encounter less stressful, no rushing around to get to your appointment on time. If you have no children then you will not encounter other peoples’ children in your home, unless you so choose. Whilst at home you can try on any clothes that you may want to wear for that special occasion, I recently trialed a brides hair and she was able to try on her special dress after I had finished her hair to really see what the final look would be. I don’t suppose you see many brides in salons trying on their dress?
Try a home visit you may be surprised at the contrast and how different you may feel following it.
