Do salons wash your hair before they do an updo or should you wash it before you go? I have heard that a lot of places don't becuase it holds better, but I'm afraid if I don't wash it before that it'll look greasy and gross. Any opinions?Do salons wash your hair before they do an updo or should you wash it before you go?
You should call and ask the salon which they prefer. Some stylists prefer to wash their clients hair themselves. Other stylists expect you to come with clean hair.





Dirty hair DOES NOT make your style stay better. A stylist does not want to touch your greasy dirty hair. Natural oil and grease does nothing as far as the ';hold of the style';.





Stylist use their own products to ensure the style stays ex. flexible sprays, fixing spray, pomade, gel ect.Do salons wash your hair before they do an updo or should you wash it before you go?
Salons generally will not wash your hair. I have had my hair put up quite a few times and always been asked not to wash my hair as a small amount of dirt is necessary for a good hold. If it's too clean it just slides out.





However, it can make a difference what type of hair you have. For example- I have very fine hair which requires washing everyday. My hairdresser specifically asked me not to wash my hair before having it put up so I didn't. However, she decided when I got there that actually it wasn't clean enough for the style to look good and I completely agreed.


So if you have fine hair you probably should wash your hair the morning you are going to have it put up rather than just before you go. If however you have thick hair that doesn't grease up quickly it's probably best not too wash it that day.





Ultimately if your stylist is good they'll be able to put your hair up even if it is very clean it just involves a lot of products and back combing.





If in doubt just call them up and ask- I'm sure they won't mind, potentially different stylists might prefer working with day old vs. clean hair.
salons should wash your hair before they style it and use the tools. if they dont, stylist use scissors,brushes,tools,etc on people yucky dirty hair (they might even have lice) so its contaminated and used on other people's hair ,including you. it sounds totally disgusting. you dont want lice, do you? so make sure you go to a stylist that washes people's hair first
If you are only going in to have an updo it's better to have your hair washed with a styling mousse in it before you get there.
If it's washed in salon then your hair is too soft %26amp; flyaway. Much better to shampoo the night before an upstyle, it'll hold much better for you.
usually you wash it before


they are just styling it





its better your hair is clean for up do's and if its greasy it won't look as good
They don't wash your hair because day old hair is better for hold.
no your hair holds better the dirtier it is..dont wash it before you go.
yes they do because your hair has to be clean because if it is greasy it will not work to well
