What to Expect at Your First Appointment at Snip Happens
A welcoming first hair appointment at Snip Happens, an appointment-only salon located inside NPR Hair Lair in downtown New Port Richey, designed for calm, one-on-one focused services.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment at Snip Happens
Choosing a new stylist can feel weirdly personal. You’re trusting someone you may have never met with your hair, your time, and—let’s be honest—your confidence. If you’ve ever walked into a salon feeling nervous, unsure how to explain what you want, or worried you’ll be talked into something that doesn’t feel like you, you’re not alone. That exact feeling is why Snip Happens exists.
So let’s talk honestly about what to expect at your first appointment at Snip Happens—no fluff, no pressure, just clarity.
First Things First: We Start With a Real Conversation
Your appointment doesn’t begin with scissors. It begins with listening.
At Snip Happens, the consultation is not a formality—it’s the foundation. We’ll talk about your hair history, what you’ve loved (and hated), how much time you realistically want to spend styling, and what your goals actually are. This is a judgment-free space. You don’t need the “right words” or a perfectly curated Pinterest board.
If you’re unsure, that’s okay. Part of my job is helping you figure it out—not rushing you into a decision.
Education Without the Ego
You’ll never be talked down to here. You’ll also never be sold a trend just because it’s popular.
I believe in explaining the why behind recommendations—how your hair texture behaves, what certain cuts or colors require for maintenance, and what’s realistic for your lifestyle. That transparency builds trust, and trust builds great hair over time.
Clear takeaways you can expect:
Honest expectations about results and upkeep
Guidance rooted in experience, not hype
A plan that works for you, not just the mirror
If something isn’t the best fit, I’ll say so—and I’ll explain why.
A Calm, Focused Experience
Snip Happens is intentionally designed to feel grounded and personal, not chaotic or rushed. Appointments are structured so there’s time to focus on your hair without feeling like you’re on a conveyor belt.
Being located in New Port Richey, I’ve worked with clients from all over the community—professionals, creatives, longtime locals, and people new to the area. That range matters. It shapes how I approach each appointment: adaptable, thoughtful, and realistic.
And yes, whether you’re coming from downtown New Port Richey or nearby, parking and timing are straightforward. No stress before you even sit down.
Why Snip Happens Is a Local Expert
Experience matters—but so does intention.
Snip Happens is built on strong fundamentals: education, consistency, and communication. I don’t chase every trend. I focus on hair that grows out well, feels good day-to-day, and supports your confidence between appointments.
That’s how long-term stylist relationships are built—and why so many clients in New Port Richey come back year after year.
Ready When You Are
If you’re curious, nervous, or just ready for a better experience, you’re welcome here. Take a look around, learn more, or book when it feels right. No pressure—just a stylist who takes your hair (and your trust) seriously.
Your first appointment should feel like the start of something solid. That’s exactly what Snip Happens is here for.
