Going to a hair salon for the first time...

[Narnian_Princess]

... what do I need to know? I'm going in to get blue glue-in extensions before I go home for Christmas break (I've wanted them forever, and I think the looks on my parents' faces when I step off the plane will be hilarious). Do I stop in and ask who can do them for me, or do I call first? Do I need a separate consultation and appointment, or do they do them both at once? Can I do it on such short notice (less than a week)? How long can I expect to be there?

I've so many questions! I've never, ever been to a proper salon before; I've only ever been to a Wal-Mart haircut place maybe twice, and I'm a bit intimidated. Thanks for any information.

For that kind of service I would think you need to call and get an appointment. You need to make sure it is with someone that know how to put in the extensions. Also, you need to make sure they have the hair you want unless you are bringing i yourself.

Call the salon beforehand to see if they do that service. If they do, ask them what is a good time to come in (some salons do appt. only; others salons are "walk in"). Bring a book or magazine, I go to the salon every week and I get a lot of reading done there.
