How to Find the Perfect Hairstylist in Kennewick

Finding Your New Favorite Stylist

So you just moved to the Tri-Cities for a new job or a fresh start, getting settled takes time. Unpacking was just the start, finding a hairstylist you can trust is next.

I know leaving behind a stylist you loved isn’t easy, and it might not be the first thing on your mind, but finding the right one can help you feel more at home.

1. Research

Start by Googling “salons near me” and checking out their websites to get a feel for the services they offer and their vibe.

Google reviews are a great place to find honest feedback, just remember that booking platforms like Vagaro and GlossGenius allow the owner to remove negative reviews, while Google does not.

Look for a staff section that lists each stylist’s specialties, since even in the same salon, skills and experience vary.

2. Social Media

Social media is another great tool to preview a stylist’s work. Look up hashtags like “Tri-Cities blonding” or “Kennewick balayage” on Instagram to find local stylists who specialize in the look you want.

Take a look at their photos to see if they’ve worked with hair like yours and if their style aligns with yours.

3. Ask the Locals

Local Facebook groups like “Ask Tri-Cities” or “Richland Residents” are perfect for recommendations. Sometimes hair stylists aren’t big on social media but are well-known in the community.

4. Know your budget

Consider what you’re comfortable spending. Tri-Cities stylists vary widely in pricing based on experience and specialties, so find someone whose rates fit your budget without compromising on quality. Most stylists are upfront about prices, so checking websites or reaching out directly is a good idea.

5. Book a Consultation

Once you’ve found a few options, book a consultation to meet the stylist and discuss your hair goals. Consultations are a chance to see if they understand your vision, and they’ll appreciate inspiration photos if you have any.
