Kunoveli kaMarian Keyes Izingelosi (Perennial, 2003), iqhawekazi liya esaluni yalo ukuze lithole umoya omncane futhi lihamba nesipesheli sika-Edward Scissorhands. Ingabe uzwakalise ukukhononda, ungase uzibuze? Maye, cha. "Bengizothini?" kubuza umlingiswa. "Asazi yini sonke ukuthi kunzima ukwethembeka kwabalungisa izinwele kunokuthola ikamela esweni lesiphepho, noma yini?"

Nazi izindlela ezine zokugwema izinhlekelele ezifanayo ze-salon ngosizo lokuqonda kochwepheshe ngqo kusuka kuma-stylists nakubabalali uqobo.

1. Yenza izinwele zakho ngaphambi kokugunda noma umbala. Uma uya ku-stylist noma umdwebi wombala okokuqala ngqa, kungcono ukugwema ukubukeka kwezinwele zeponytail-futhi-ezingageziwe esikhundleni sokufika izinwele zakho zenziwe ngendlela obungenza ngayo ngosuku olujwayelekile. Ochwepheshe bathi lokhu kunikeza isitayela umbono ongcono wokuthi basebenzani - nokuthi yini ofuna ukuyishintsha (kufaka phakathi ubude). "Ngaleyo ndlela ungasho ukuthi, 'Ngihlale ngiyithola le flip futhi ngiyayizonda,' noma 'Ngiyayithanda le flip. Ngingayithola kanjani yonke le nto?'" Kuchaza uJo Ann Welch, uthisha wesifunda wasePensacola, eFla. kuma-salon amahle kaSamsoni.

2. Cacisa ngokuphelele. Impela kuzwakala kusobala, kepha ukumane uthi ufuna izinwele zakho zibe mfushane noma i-blonder kushiya isikhala esinephutha. "Ama-stylists awakwazi ukufunda izingqondo," kusho u-Welch. Bheka amashadi ombala, phequlula omagazini bese ukhomba ama-shades nezitayela ongazithandi kanye nalezo ozenzayo. Uma ulungisa izinwele zakho izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngesonto, yabelana ngalolu lwazi.

Uma usuchazile okufunayo, qiniseka ukuthi kuyasebenziseka kuwena. Leyo shag engcolile enenhliziyo yakho ebekiwe ingahle ibukeke njengeyokugeza nokuhamba, kodwa empeleni kungathatha isikhathi esiningi ukukufeza. "Buza u-stylist wakho ukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukwakha kabusha ukubukeka ekhaya," kunxusa u-Welch. "Abesifazane abaningi abanamahora abawachitha ezinweleni zabo." Cacisa -- buza ukuthi mingaki imikhiqizo ozoyidinga, hlobo luni lwebhulashi okufanele uluthenge nokuthi hlobo luni lwesikhathi ukuzibophezela okudingwa ukubukeka okuthile.

"Abesifazane abacabanga ukuthi bazothola izingidi ezinhle, ezicwebezelayo njengoCatherine Zeta-Jones 'noma uKate Hudson ngaphandle komzamo wokudinga ukuzwa iqiniso," kusho uGretchen Monahan, umsunguli we-G-Spa and Grettacole spas eBoston. "Lezi zinkanyezi zilayisha imikhiqizo eminingi, futhi omunye umuntu uzitayela yona."

Izithombe ziyindlela engcono kakhulu yokuxhumana nezifiso zakho, futhi ngokuvamile, lapho uletha ngokwengeziwe, izifiso zakho zizocaca. Ungase uthande ubude kokukodwa, umbala kwenye kanye nesimo noma izendlalelo kweyesithathu. I-stylist enhle izokwazi ukukhothoza ukubukeka okuphelele.

Qaphela ngokweqile, noma kunjalo, lapho ukhetha izithombe. Ngabe uyaqonda ngempela ukuthi isitayela sifushane / sigqinsiwe / sigoqene / simnyama kanjani nokuthi sizobukeka kanjani ngobuso bakho nokubala kwakho? (Ukuthola umuzwa wokuthi isitayela sezinwele sizokubukeka kanjani, ngena ku-clairol.com; lapho ungalayisha izithombe zakho, kanye nezinwele ezahlukahlukene nemibala yezinwele.)

“Ngike ngaba namakhasimende angikhombisa isithombe athi, ‘Ngifuna lesi sitayela esiqondile,’ ngakho ngimnika sona,” kuchaza uWelch. "Ngemuva kwalokho uzothi, 'Bengingazi ukuthi kuzoba mfushane kangakanani." Mcele ukuthi asike kancane kancane, ikakhulukazi uma uzothatha ubude obuhluke kakhulu.

Futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, qaphela intuthu-nezibuko. "Umbala wezinwele owubona ezithombeni awuvamile ukuphindaphindeka," kusho u-Stuart Gavert, ongomunye wabanikazi besaluni ye-Gavert Atelier e-Beverly Hills, e-Calif. akubonakali kanjalo empilweni yangempela. "

3. Yazi imikhiqizo yakho namathuluzi wesitayela. Usekhawunteni yesaluni, ulungele ukukhokhela ukusika kwakho okusha okuhle, futhi uyazi nje ukuthi kuyeza: Umshini oqinile womkhiqizo. "Ngisanda kuchitha ama- $ 100 kulokhu okusikiwe nakumbala, manje bafuna ukuthi ngilahle amanye ama- $ 50 emikhiqizweni yezitayela," yilokhu okucabangayo. Ngenkathi amanye amasaluni enza imikhiqizo ephushayo ukuze nje anyuse ukuthengisa, amathuba ukuthi u-stylist wakho uncoma imikhiqizo ezokusiza ukuthi uhlale ujabulile ngesitayela sakho esisha.

“Imikhiqizo efanele imvamisa ingukhiye wokuzuza ukubukeka okufunayo,” kusho uMonahan. Zama imikhiqizo isitayela sakho esinconyelwa nguyena - noma uthole efanayo, engabizi kakhulu esitolo sezidakamizwa. Uma i-stylist yakho iphakamisa imikhiqizo eminingi, buza ukuthi iyiphi eyodwa noma emibili ezokwenza umehluko omkhulu kakhulu.

Amathuluzi afanele angakusiza futhi ukugcina izingidi zakho zisesimeni ekhaya. Ukusebenzisa uhlobo oluthile lwebhulashi kungakusiza ukufeza isitayela osifunayo futhi isomisi sekhwalithi ephezulu singanciphisa isikhathi sokomisa. Uma unamahloni ngokuthenga, buza ngenqubomgomo yokubuya yasesaluni; iningi lizobuyisa imali yakho kumikhiqizo namathuluzi uma ungajabule.

4. Khuluma uma ungenelisekile. Le yingxenye enzima kunazo zonke yesipiliyoni esibi se-salon. Imvamisa, senziwa isimungulu ngentukuthelo nangamahloni. Kodwa noma kunzima kangakanani, yilapho kufanele ukhulume uma kukhona okungenzeka ukuthi uhlenge isimo.

"Lapho abenzi bezitayela bengakutholi kahle, nabo abajabuli," kusho uWelch. Ukungakhokhi akuyona inketho ngempela, kodwa ochwepheshe bayavuma ukuthi indawo yokwenza izinwele oyizondayo kufanele yenziwe kabusha mahhala. Chaza ngomusa -- kodwa ngokuqondile -- ukuthi yini ongayithandi. Kungaba into elula kakhulu ukuthi i-tweak eyodwa encane engayilungisa (njengokungena izendlalelo ezanele ezizungeze ubuso), kusho u-Welch. Uma isitayela sakho singazinaki izikhalazo zakho noma sigomela ukuthi unephutha nokuthi kubukeka kukuhle, khuluma nomnikazi noma umphathi. "Ngeshwa, akuzona zonke izinwele zezinwele ezimbi ezingalungiswa khona lapho," kusho uGavert. "Kungase kuthathe ukuvakasha okuningana ukulungisa inkinga."
