Should You Wear Headphones?
Let’s discuss wearing headphones during your appointment, 3 main things to keep in mind if you do, and why ultimately this shouldn’t be a debate in the first place. Find out our ultimate conclusion & where Lavish Cincinnati stands so you feel confident & comfortable before you book with us!
First & foremost, let’s get this out of the way: the answer always has and always will be you do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. At the end of the day, you are the VIP here. We believe it is up to your artist to navigate the situation as far as providing you with the important pieces of information in order to ensure you are a happy client. Every person is different with the kind of experience they want & expect. Do not let fear or uncertainty about how to navigate small talk dissuade you from a beauty service that has the potential to totally overhaul your self esteem and sense of self-worth. Our artists have a combined multiple decades of experience working with clients and know exactly how to best communicate with each person – let us worry about that part.
As far as expectations from you – there are a few things we’d ask you keep in mind should you decide you want to wear headphones for any of our beauty services. Small caveat: adjust these according to the service appropriately. E.g., sitting with our expert artist for hours getting your microblading done requires a different level of engagement/attention than some lash services.
3 Keys To Keep In Mind
ENGAGED
CANDID
TRUST
ENGAGED
Your artist’s priority is your happiness which means they will ask questions where they need to or get clarity when it’s necessary. So long as you feel you are able to effectively multi-task where need be, headphones are a great option for you. We just encourage you to be mindful of the progress of your appointment and are able to engage with your artist should anything need to be clarified.
CANDID
This is good guidance for most things but certainly for beauty services where it’s imperitive we strive to exceed your expectations. In situations where your attention might be in multiple places at once, you want to be sure that you feel comfortable speaking up to your artist if something is confusing or you would like something explained. Being candid and honest with your arist is a very healthy key thing to remember no matter what form your entertainment takes. Our artists are very comfortable and willing to answer any questions you have. It’s perfectly reasonable to want to pass the time during your appointment – we do get that. The only thing we ask is that you also feel empowered to speak up when you think it’s important and we will be sure to reciprocate that.
TRUST
When you do choose to have some other distracting form of entertainment, we hope you can extend some additional underlying trust to us. Naturally, our artists will respect the fact that you are enjoying your privacy but with this means there will varying degrees of non-essential communication cut and our artists will guage each scenario individually depending on the client. Luckily we will clarify all the nuances and specifics of your services in your consult which is why wearing headphones is a very good option for many clients.
Moral of the story: The option is available to everyone and you should do what makes you feel comfortable. If you’re unsure, try it atleast once and determine if it’s right for you – we encourage freedom and flexibility.
