How much do I tip for an upscale hair salon?

May 10, 2007 by mon | Posted in Hair

I am having the Japanease Hair Straightening done next week at an upscale salon in Miami. The master stylist and half owner will being doing the procedure. Do I tip and if so, how much? It's costing me $700. Thanks!

Well, normally I would suggest you tip anywhere between 10-20% but since you are paying so much for the straightening, tip may be really pricey. I wouldn't go lower than $50 for the tip, but a $70 tip at 10% sounds like a lot! Maybe you should decide the amount when you finish?

Can anyone recommend a good upscale salon in the Boca Raton or Fort Lauderdale area?

Jul 23, 2008 by Eener31 | Posted in Miami

I am looking to get highlights and a haircut, and am unhappy with my usual salon. I am looking for a place that provides top quality services (not a "Super-Cuts") and has received some level of recognition for their work. I am especially interested in suggestions from people who have actually tried the salon they're recommending (although it's not mandatory).

Here are a few reviews:

Hey,
I have had an awsome experience there, infact I've been going there for two years now. It's a great environment where they have hip music, ask you if you would like a little snack or coffee, and they are very friendly.
I would recomend "Guy", or the Italian/ Brazillian guy for hairstylists, and Gracy is great at color!
Lets just say you feel hot when you leave.

Where is a good upscale nail salon in the bay area?

Nov 06, 2008 by shanupo | Posted in San Francisco

I am tired of these dinky little nail salons with one or 2 people working there and its kinda old feeling....anyone know of an upscale elegant spa/nail salon in the bay area?

polished lounge
470 3rd street
sf, ca 94107
(415) 543-0993

it's a charming place, not overly upscale. prices are reasonable. keep in mind that this is not a spa, but a nail salon. however, they do offer waxing. parking can be a problem because this is in the downtown area.

How can I find an investor for a swanky upscale dog grooming salon?

May 01, 2008 by lolly | Posted in Investing

I am an experienced dog groomer in a big city thats growing everyday. There are NO upscale grooming salons and I think with all the rich people here, it would do great! I have the knowledge to run it, just not the money. I would need about $100,000 to cover the rent, utilities and all the supplies needed. I would be willing to do just about anything to make this happen! I think this business could easily turn into a franchise!

Having never started or run a small business I cannot share any advice based on my own experience. What I can do is direct you to the Small Business Administration which has answers to some frequently asked questions like

Q-1. How do I get a small business loan?
Q-11. How do I find an investor for my business?

If you go to their home page

you will find links to a lot of additional information about starting and managing a small business.

Good Luck!

I am looking for an investor in a Upscale salon north of Dallas?

Feb 25, 2007 by tammye1969 | Posted in Investing

I am a 37 year old Stylist with 10 years experience owning a Salon and Day spa. I have a great marketing background with my past business ventures and have been very successful in the past. I am a booth renter at the salon I'm with right now, but I am looking to venture out on my own again. I am in a small town north of Dallas, TX that is growing at an incredible rate and have located a great area and building for a salon. This will be only the second salon in a town of 7800+ and the other salon is no comparison of what my vision for my salon.

I need an investor because I do have some credit issues from circumstances out of my control. My husband was thrown from a horse over 3 years ago and left paralyzed from the neck down. I am the sole provider of my family of 6 now. I have struggled in the past and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I currently take home over $1000.00 a week in the small town salon I'm in (pop. 2500), so I know my potential is much greater.

Is it appropriate to bring picture to upscale salon?

Dec 24, 2006 by anna b | Posted in Hair

It's not super super upscale but it's nothing like Hair-cuttery or anything. It seems too like "great-clips" to bring a picture of how you want you hair cut to look.to a nice hair salon. Is this okay or not?

yes

Where could I find an upscale grooming salon In New York City that specializes in maltese?

Oct 13, 2006 by t p | Posted in Dogs

She Has tear stains and I want to get rid of it. Could she be dyed? Is there a chemical that can be used that will not harm her?

The best solution I've seen is called Angel's Glow. It's a powder you put on the food and works from the inside out. Here are a couple of links where you can see the results--one from their site and one from a completely unrelated blog:

Official Site: http://www.angelsglow.com/AGR1.html
Blog: http://groomblog.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_groomblog_archive.html (just scroll down until you see the bichons!)

Your groomer won't be able to do much topically other than scissor out the offending hairs. Prevention is really the key to dealing with tear stains, and the powder combined with daily cleansing will help immensely.
