The overpopulated salon — where you are ushered in an out with herds of other salon-goers, waiting for your carefully monitored slot of 30 or 45 minutes before being swapped for the next customer. It’s a little, uh, impersonal. But there are benefits to forgoing the personal atmosphere that many privately owned salons provide… a large salon may actually offer you more for your money overall. Here’s why:
Upsides (Friend)
There are many stylists in various price ranges to choose from- Continued education allows designers to learn new cutting techniques, how to style for your style, and the most current trends

Downsides (Foe)

Judge the pros and cons, then decide for yourself.
