If you are interested in opening a hair salon strictly, as opposed to a spa-style salon, here is a list of the services that hair salons typically offer.

Haircuts and Styling

The most basic service a hair salon should offer are haircuts for men, women, and children. While some salons specialize in certain areas, it is expected that the beauticians will be able to cut all types of hair. Drying and styling the hair before the customer leaves the salon is also a standard service and included in the cost of the haircut. Being able to offer every customer a haircut and style means ensuring that all the beauticians have experience with different types of hair.

Hair Coloring

Hair coloring is one of the most popular services offered at a hair salon. Because home hair coloring can go wrong in so many different ways and box colors are not healthy for hair, most people go to salons to get their hair professionally colored. When a customer goes to a salon, they assume they can get the exact color they want because your beauticians will be able to mix colors to create the look they want. Hair coloring may include all-over color, touch-ups, grey cover, highlights, lowlights, and more. As trends in hair coloring change and evolve, the expectations of beauticians also changes.
