Salon Etiquette: How to Have the Best Salon Experience at Color House Denver

At Color House Denver, we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every guest can enjoy a top-notch salon experience. To ensure that your visit is as enjoyable as possible, we've put together some helpful tips and guidelines for making the most of your time with us.

1. Dress for Comfort: While we do our best to protect your clothing during your salon visit, accidents can happen. We recommend avoiding expensive or delicate clothing and opting for comfortable attire. We also provide smocks for you to change into, so you can relax and fully enjoy your visit without worrying about your outfit.

2. Clean Hair, Vibrant Color: Clean hair is the canvas for a beautiful color application. Our salon uses a milder, ammonia and PPD-free color formula that thrives on clean hair, allowing the color to come out more vibrant and last longer. Arriving with cleaner hair (Think washed in the last day or two) ensures that we can achieve the best results for your desired look.

3. Realistic Expectations: When it comes to hair transformations, open communication is key. We love making our guests' visions a reality, but it's important to understand that achieving certain looks may require multiple sessions, especially if we're correcting a previous job or working with unique hair characteristics. We are committed to providing honest assessments and working with you to achieve your desired results.

4. Silent Service: We understand that a salon visit isn't always about socializing. Some guests may prefer a more serene experience, and that's perfectly okay. If you'd rather relax in silence or minimize conversation, please feel free to let us know. We are more than happy to accommodate your preferences and focus on providing a calming, peaceful atmosphere during your visit.

5. Managing Expectations: While we love when guests bring inspiration photos for their desired look, it's important to understand that these images may not perfectly align with your hair's natural characteristics or the realities of hair styling. With the prevalence of AI and photo editing, many images depict unattainable standards. We encourage open communication and collaboration to find a style that complements your unique features and fits your lifestyle.

6. Discussing Maintenance: A successful salon visit goes beyond the appointment itself. Be prepared to discuss your hair care routine, including the products you use, how often you wash your hair, and your desired maintenance schedule. Sharing your budget and lifestyle considerations helps us tailor our recommendations and ensure that you leave with a customized hair care program that suits your needs.

7. Embracing Furry Friends: At Color House Denver, we are proud to be a pet-friendly salon. Our team often brings their furry companions to work, and there are usually 1-3 dogs on-site. While we adore having our furry friends around, we understand that not everyone may share our enthusiasm for dogs. Rest assured that we can accommodate your preferences, whether that means keeping the pets in a separate area or ensuring that your own furry pal is welcome during your visit.

8. Team-Based Salon Culture: As a commission/team-based salon, our team members are all W-2 employees who collaborate to provide the best possible experience for our guests. There is no competition for clients among our stylists, and each team member is available to cater to the convenience and preferences of our guests. It's not uncommon for guests to see multiple artists based on specific needs, whether it's a particular day, a specific technique, or holistic healing treatments. Our team is committed to working together to ensure that every guest receives exceptional service and personalized care.

At Color House Denver, we are committed to creating a salon experience that is not only exceptional but also tailored to your unique needs. From our pet-friendly environment and team-based approach to our dedication to open communication and realistic outcomes, we strive to ensure that every guest feels welcome, understood, and supported.
