I have never felt comfortable opting for hair wash in a salon. There have been stories how carelessness has resulted in deaths. Bending the head the way you see in the photo is risky I have just about had my hair cut and done a bit of pedicure in a salon These days the stylist comes over. What has been your experience?

I rarely go to salons because my hair is short - like a boy's haircut. I don't want my hair flying all over my face, and I don't want to take the effort to take care of long hair.

@Jenaisle Would you like to trade hair for a few days? Mine is down to the middle of my back and curly... I keep it in a low ponytail most of the time except when it's drying and I leave it loose. I think you'd look interesting with long, dark red, curly hair. Photo is mine. My hair taken in 2023.

Stylists generally don’t come to people’s houses here unless one is very rich. I’ve never been afraid of getting my hair washed in salon sinks, but I have declined a couple of times to save money.

It does not cost us much using the services of a salon even calling them over.

@allknowing I have no idea how much it costs here because 97% salons here don’t offer that service. You have to be rich or to know someone. I’m not even saying it costs a bunch of money; people just generally don’t do it.

I don’t go to hair salons. My husband cuts my hair and I wash it myself.

I've had my hair washed and cut in salons most of my adult life. Most beauticians are skilled and take good care of their customers. Remember, they're hoping for a nice tip with each wash and cut they do. If they hurt someone, they could lose their job as well as pay for the doctor bill.

@allknowing Yes, it's rare in the US... Most beauticians go to school to learn their job so rarely make mistakes like that.

I like long hairs but only on women's, but to maintain it is a tough task my wife does it she maintains her hair never went to salon for hair cut she do it herself just by cutting the down part when hair gets split.
