One Stylist, One Team, UBU COLOR SALON

As you know in individual colors there are different tones and hues that can be used to get you to the Tampa Blonde color you desire.  Here at UBU Color Salon in South Tampa there are 8 stylist, but We are One Stylist, One Team. 

When you go to a salon where there are several stylist, especially at UBU Color Salon in Tampa, we work as a team and what exactly does that mean for you as a client.  That means there are 8 stylist that can put their education together to collaborate on your desired color, to get you exactly what you want. It is important for stylist to feed off each other knowledge and education.  As new trends happen and new techniques are created, stylist have to stay on top of their game.  Stylist should constantly be re-educating their selves to know what is happening in hair, so that gives you as a client 8 stylist that have been well educated on the top trends for your Tampa Blonde hair.

One of the larges expenses a stylist has year after year is education.  There is a requirement by the stated for stylist to be re-educated every two years, but if that is all a stylist does they are stunting their abilities and all possibilities that can come your way.  We EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE, because there is always something new happening that we need to know. 

One thing as a client that you might not be aware of and why retail is so important.  Salon's that offer retail have the opportunity to get education from the retail companies.  Not only do we go to classes to educated us on the trends, we are educated by the retail companies on the when, where, why and how to use the products for best results.  So when you buy products from a salon you are helping in the cost factors of product education, so Buy from your local Tampa salon.

When searching for a salon, make sure they are educated and up to date on the current trends.  Look at pictures of their clients they have posted on Social Media, to make sure they are creating the desired look you want. 

So to wrap it up make sure you are at a Salon that is well educated or just come to UBU Color Salon where you have the education of 8 stylist working on your hair, One Stylist, One Team.

South Tampa Blonde Hair, Let's Talk Social REVIEWS, the forbidden topic.

Let’s talk reviews on social media anywhere from Yelp, Facebook, and Google. Coming from the old school we never worried about social media and the web reviewers, all work was from word of mouth this is a topic that we must discuss because in the world of photo shop and Pinterest everyone wants instant gratification and sometimes that is not possible. Stylist have to start somewhere and that is with the canvas that is presented. Salons and stylist have been held to higher standards now that reviews have taken over. Client now don’t listen to stylist they listen to google in there research. 

Old ways clients come in with magazine pictures and we talk about how we can achieve the look and move forward with service. New ways client comes in with formula they pull off internet and have black hair and want to be blonde in one service and pay 100 dollars.  Welcome to Pinterest and Photo Shop, that isn't reality.

Listen we have received reviews on Color Correction that don't paint a full picture. Color Corrections can be a costly service and the results may not happen in one day. Even thou It was explained in consultation. We are told they didn’t get what they wanted from the stylist they 1st went to, but never explain the condition of their Hair before the original service. When is the best time to give us a review of your hair, at the time of your consultation.  Let us know everything that has happened to your hair, how was it before your original service, what are you really expecting, then let us work with you to get you there.

Can a negative review turn into a positive? Yes, as a salon and blonde hair color experts in South Tampa, we will listen to feedback and grow from there. We do are best to please our clients, but also keep your hair in the best shape it can be.  The integrity of your hair is a high priority, destroying it in one day to meet your goal is not, let us take our time to get you to your goal.

So as business owner I never go off reviews when I pick a place because a lot of time you cant respond as a business over like you would want u and a lot of time a lot of people take advantage of this service to hold a review over your head to get service for free listen we all about better are business but I believe it has been taking to far.

To Consult, or not to Consult, that is the question....

Is a consultation important? YES!!!!

The vision you have for your hair can sometimes be hard to explain, but that is where the consultation comes into play.  In a consultation you get the opportunity to explain your vision and it gives your stylist the opportunity to write the map to your goal.  

When going to your consultation, have a list of questions you want to ask like, can this be done in one visit, is my hair integrity good for getting me to my goal, what is this going to cost, what products do you use and will you be able to recommend after care products.  In many cases the vision may take time and your stylist in the consultation, will be able to let you know what to expect and the important question, what is this going to cost.   

No matter your vision or goal, whether it is a warm blonde, cool silver, or a platinum blonde, maintaining the integrity of your hair should be the top priority of your stylist.  We tend to have a, I want it now mentality, but when making big changes from Dark to Blonde it takes time.  Let your stylist lead you on this journey to your new look.  

Many times especially at UBU we will send our clients home with take home products to start strengthening the hair for the services they are about to begin.  For instance the Olaplex Home treatment Kit.  Olaplex helps replenish the bond of the hair strain to be able to handle the chemicals that will be involved in getting you to your new look. It can also be added to the chemicals used at the time of your service to help protect your hair.  It is a product that we recommend to all our Tampa Blonde clients.  

There are so many colors in the rainbow that can be achieved on hair, with  different tones to consider.  So do your home work before you consultation, find pictures that you like to help get the vision across to your stylist.  They are there to help you in this journey so give them all the info and direction you can so they understand exactly what you are looking for.  

So the outtake from this blog, Consultations are key to your success of reaching the goal for your new color.
