Visiting a salon for the first time can feel exciting—and maybe a little nerve-wracking.

2. Know What You Want (But Stay Open-Minded)
Have a general idea of the look or service you’d like. Bring 2-3 inspiration photos if you’re considering a haircut or color. At Lena Shkreli & Company, our stylists are highly trained to provide expert advice, so feel free to stay open to their suggestions for a look that complements your features and lifestyle.
3. Book the Right Appointment
When booking your appointment, ensure you’re scheduling enough time for the service you want. If you’re unsure, contact us, and our team will help guide you to the correct service and time slot.
4. Prepare Your Hair
Clean Hair: Arrive with clean, dry hair unless instructed otherwise.
Avoid Heavy Products: Skip hairspray, mousse, or styling products before your appointment to make it easier for your stylist to work with your hair.
Avoid Root Covering Products: Prior to any hair coloring service.
5. Arrive on Time
Punctuality is key! Arriving 5-10 minutes early allows time for check-in, consultation, and settling in without feeling rushed.
6. Bring Photos and Be Ready to Communicate
Visual references are incredibly helpful. Bring photos of styles or colors you love (or even ones you don’t) to give your stylist a clear idea of your preferences. During your consultation:
Discuss your hair goals.
Share any concerns or challenges you’ve faced with your hair.
Be honest about your hair history (e.g., past coloring, chemical treatments, or damage).
At Lena Shkreli & Company, we pride ourselves on creating a personalized plan for each client based on their unique needs.
7. Dress Comfortably
Wear something comfortable and practical, but you may be asked to pose for a photo, in that case we ask for solid colored tops. Darker tops for lighter colored hair and lighter tops for darker colored hair. For coloring appointments, opt for a shirt with buttons or a wide neckline so you can change without ruining your fresh color. Please avoid hoodies if at all possible.
8. Ask Questions
Don’t be afraid to ask your stylist questions about the process, recommended products, or how to maintain your look at home. The stylists at Lena Shkreli & Company are here to educate and empower you! We want you to love your new look even after you leave the salon.
9. Consider Bringing a Book or Playlist
For longer appointments, especially during hair extensions, bring something to keep yourself entertained, like a book, magazine, or headphones for your favorite playlist or podcast.
10. Know Your Budget
Before your appointment, review our pricing to avoid surprises. Feel free to ask about the cost during your consultation, especially if you’re considering add-ons like deep conditioning or gloss treatments.
11. Bring Your Confidence—and Relax!
The most important thing to bring to your first salon visit is your confidence. Trust that you’re in great hands at Lena Shkreli & Company, and allow yourself to relax and enjoy the experience.
Bonus Tips for a Smooth Visit:
Tip Your Stylist: A gratuity of 18-20% of your service cost is customary. Tips are cash or venmo only.
Book Your Next Appointment: Reserve your follow-up before you leave to ensure you stay on track with trims or color touch-ups.
Your first salon visit should be a pampering and transformative experience. By following this checklist, you’ll walk into Lena Shkreli & Company feeling prepared and leave with a look you love!
