Salon or master: where is the best manicure and hair removal?

What questions need to be asked to the master

Regardless of whether the choice fell on a private trader or a salon, you have every right to ask all your questions. This can also be done by phone. For example, what materials will be used. And it doesn’t matter what they tell you, the main thing is that they don’t answer in the spirit of “what difference does it make to you.”

Be sure to find out what disinfectants are used. Again, if they list several names (even if you don’t understand them), this is already a good sign. But when they begin to say that hair removal is a procedure that does not require disinfection, or “what is there to disinfect, everything is clean there anyway,” or “what does it matter,” then just leave. It doesn’t matter if it is a private master or a salon.

Remember, if you came to the procedure and something alerted you – you didn’t like how the master looks, or the cleanliness and hygiene of the office is in doubt, or it seems that the state of the desktop does not inspire confidence, you have every right to apologize, turn around and leave. You are a customer. It’s up to you who to entrust your body to. In most cases, this approach allows you to avoid many health problems later.

The pros are obvious here:

– high level of service: not only the master, but also the administrator will take care of you;

– closer control over the observance of hygiene rules: you do not have to worry about the quality of the processing of tools, timely cleaning, the provision of disposable sheets, slippers, etc.;

– the use of professional materials: this allows you to favorably emphasize the status of the salon, improve its image in the eyes of customers, so most of them prefer to use proven, high-quality brands.

So, the cabin is cleaner and safer from the point of view of sanitary and hygienic standards, because if violations are detected by the inspection authorities, the owner will be forced to pay a rather large fine. Therefore, the likelihood of getting into a frankly dirty room if you go to a beauty salon is significantly small.

As for the cons, here you can name first of all:

– higher prices: after all, you need to pay rent for premises, work of employees, etc .;

– in the salon, as a rule, there are no specialized epilation masters, if this is not a mono service, that is, not an epilation studio, for example.

The last point for someone may become fundamental. You need to understand that hair removal in a regular salon is performed by a beautician. This procedure for him is one of many services, and it is not a fact that he does it well. Therefore, if you go to a beauty salon for hair removal, be prepared for the fact that, most likely, it will be done to you at an average level. Yes, from the point of view of safety, everything is excellent, but from the point of view of quality, it is far from a fact.

For those who care that the procedure is performed perfectly, I advise you to consider the options of private practitioners. There is one important nuance here: a huge spread in quality! The salons work at about an average level, that is, the likelihood of running into both a disgusting specialist and a star, a supermaster of their craft, is generally small.

But in the private sector – no. You can get like a real professional who is passionate about his work, knows him to the smallest detail, loves, constantly improves his skills, for whom epilation is the meaning of life. And you can please a newcomer who, at best, finished the course yesterday, and at worst – just watched a video on YouTube.

Of the advantages of contacting a home craftsman, you can name:

– low prices: compared to the salon, the cost can be up to 1,5 times less;

– a more comfortable, private environment.

The disadvantages include:

– instability of quality;

– the issue of sanitary and hygienic standards.

Nobody checks home craftsmen, and those of them who are conscientious about their work try to observe hygiene standards. But along with them there are a huge number of inept.

In fact, the biggest danger in “home” hair removal is to get into an amateur. Someone who does not know, does not understand, does not understand and does not want to understand the features of the procedure, but wants to quickly earn at least some money.

If you nevertheless decide to go to a private master, then carefully consider his choice.

Protecting you from the frustrations of hair removal at home

First, carefully read the specialist’s social media pages. Those who have something to be proud of post their own pictures there: they do not hesitate to show themselves, their face. Hair removal works, of course, are rarely exhibited, but they can also be.

Also, good masters post photos of the workplace. If a person is serious about business, then even when providing services at home, he will have an equipped office that has everything he needs. Accordingly, if there is no photo of the office, then this is a reason to think: it is quite possible that you will be epilated on your grandmother’s sofa.

There should also be photographs of the materials that will be used in the work. The same principle applies here: if the master is confident in the quality of the product, he will not hide it and honestly inform the client about the brands and companies. If such photos are not posted, then, most likely, there is something unclean.
