Finding Creativity on Vacation
I often tell my husband that I need a vacation so that I can be more “creative” about work, education, and of course, our family. As I sit near the beautiful beach in Puerto Vallarta, I realize that I STILL do some of the same habits I do in Phoenix — such as people-watching and examining others’ hairstyles.
Who is wearing extensions? How was their color technique performed? Did they get their hair done right before the vacation? During all my silly evaluations, my husband shows the least bit of interest (lol).
But one thing I know for sure: most people want to look and feel their best while on vacation. For some, it includes working out profusely before the trip or going on an extreme diet. Then there are those paying tons for hair services they wouldn’t normally do for their everyday lifestyle.
Are Hair Extensions for Vacation or a Lifestyle?
Which leads me to the questions:
Do clients want to invest in hair extensions for vacations, or are hair extensions a lifestyle choice?
My goal is to educate my clients on how and when to wear hair extensions — and what method is best for their lifestyle. Do we have to be going on vacation to look and feel fabulous? The answer to that question should be NO.
We should feel fabulous whether we’re on vacation, going to work, or staying at home with family. Feeling fabulous looks different for each individual. As hairstylists, it’s our job to educate clients on the best extension method for their needs.
Choosing the Best Hair Extension Method
The number one service in my salon is volume wefts and I-tips; however, I’m not opposed to other methods. For many clients, I suggest a “hybrid method” because the density in each section of a client’s hair is different.
