Acknowledging the occasional disruptions life brings, we, as experienced salon owners and stylists, recognize the significance of fostering a harmonious relationship between our valued guests and our skilled professionals. In this blog, we explore salon etiquette, covering expectations upon arrival, guidance for handling lateness, and best practices for scheduling adjustments. Our aim is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both our esteemed stylists and cherished guests.
Welcome to your appointment!!
The arrival!! To ensure a smooth and enjoyable salon experience, it's important to arrive for your appointment with a touch of punctuality and preparedness. Here's why:
Time is of the essence:
Arriving on time for your scheduled appointment allows us to provide you with the full attention and service you deserve. Arriving a few minutes early also gives you an opportunity to unwind, enjoy a beverage, some snacks (ahem... Dove chocolates), discuss any specifics, and to simple just settle into the salon environment.
Being prepared:
Before you step through our doors, take a moment to gather any references, inspiration images, or specific ideas you have in mind for your hairstyle. Clear communication about your desired look ensures that our stylists understand your vision and can bring it to life. Even if we are just doing "the usual", kick back, relax, and let the masters do their work.
Don't forget that at Fringe Hair Studio, "Your image is our passion."
Running Late... Uh Oh!
First thing's first... don't panic. Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances can cause delays, and we understand that things can happen beyond our control... traffic, sitter arrived late, meeting went long, etc. Ultimately we want you to have a safe arrival, so if you find yourself running behind for your appointment, here's what you can expect:
Communication is key:
To ensure a smooth experience, we kindly request that you notify us promptly if you anticipate running late. We'll make every effort to accommodate the delay, but please be aware that it may impact the overall service time and experience. You can call or text the salon at 727-456-8087, and if our stylists are occupied, please leave a voice message for a callback. For a quicker response, consider sending a text (ensuring safety by avoiding texting while driving).
Adaptability and flexibility:
In the event that you arrive late for your appointment, we will make every effort to accommodate you. However, please understand that if the delay is significant, we may need to reevaluate the services, or even reschedule part of your appointment to ensure that our stylists can provide the same level of attention and quality service to all our clients.
Respect for other clients:
To maintain fairness and uphold our commitment to timely service, it may be necessary to adjust the duration of your appointment if you arrive late. We appreciate your understanding in this matter, as it allows us to maintain a harmonious and efficient schedule for all our clients.
