Questions about a salon's hair-loss services
Hair-loss service descriptions can cover cosmetic support as well as health-related claims. Use this question sheet to understand the service and where medical assessment may be needed.
Work through the checklist
Ask whether the proposed service is styling, a hairpiece consultation or another procedure. Request a clear description of materials, maintenance and limitations.
Bring concerns about new, sudden or unexplained hair loss to an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. A salon consultation does not establish a diagnosis.
Check costs, ongoing care, patch-test requirements where relevant and cancellation terms. Ask how photographs and personal information will be handled.
A useful question
Do before-and-after pictures prove a health benefit?
They show selected appearances under particular conditions. They do not establish the cause of hair loss or guarantee a comparable result for another person.
