Common Questions
First-Time Guest FAQs
Do I need to know exactly what service I want before my first appointment?
No — if you are unsure whether you need a haircut, a colour service, a treatment, or a barber service, call (807) 577-5621 before booking and a team member can help clarify. When you arrive, your stylist or barber will consult with you before starting. You are not locked in to a specific result just because of what you booked online. However, the more specific your goal, the faster the consultation goes.
Should I prepare anything before my first visit?
If you have reference photos — images of haircuts, colours, or styles you like — bring them or have them ready on your phone. They give your stylist or barber the fastest possible visual reference. Arrive with your hair in its natural state where possible. For colour appointments, avoid heavy product buildup the day before. If you have questions about preparation for a specific service, call (807) 577-5621 ahead of time.
Will there always be a consultation before work begins?
Yes — every appointment at The District Salon & Barber, including first-time visits, starts with a brief consultation. Your stylist or barber will not begin any service until you have had a chance to confirm what you want. The consultation is especially important for colour, correction, and longer services where the result depends heavily on your starting point and expectations. See the what to expect page for the full appointment flow.
