Before a long flight, your immediate styling priorities may differ from your usual workday. Discuss whether you want a familiar haircut, a shave or a new chemical service, and keep the departure time clear.

What to discuss

A haircut and a standalone shave are separate menu choices. Tell the team what you want completed and how much time you can allow. Do not assume a short booking can absorb additional services because you are travelling soon.

Plan your appointment

If considering an iron perm, ask how the proposed routine fits your travel plans and available equipment. Learn the drying direction and clarify service-specific aftercare before leaving. Avoid treating a new perm as a promise that the hair will look identical after a long journey. A practical appointment includes enough explanation for the days after the flight.

Signature Grooming is AUD150, with a first-visit option at AUD120. Confirm any additional services and the total before booking. Written by Rika Kano, HIROGINZA Sydney.
