Two things to confirm when booking: whether the cut price includes a wash and blow dry, and whether a colour price includes toner, they are often listed separately. Mobile stylists who come to you usually add a call out premium.
How to choose a stylist or makeup artist
For anything beyond a basic cut, look at their recent work first. Most Malta stylists and makeup artists post their work publicly, judge the styles they actually do, not the price list. For colour, a consultation before the appointment avoids surprises on condition and cost. For weddings, book months ahead, ask about a paid trial session, and get the deposit and cancellation terms in writing.
Common mistakes to avoid: booking a colour correction as a standard colour appointment, skipping the bridal trial to save money, and assuming the advertised price covers long or thick hair, many salons price by length.

Frequently asked questions
Do stylists in Malta come to your home?
Some do, especially for weddings and occasions. Expect a premium over salon prices for the travel and setup time, and book mobile stylists well ahead for weekend dates.
How far ahead should I book bridal hair and makeup?
Popular artists book out months ahead for the wedding season. Book as soon as your date is fixed and schedule a trial well before the day.
Why do colour prices vary so much?
Colour is priced by hair length, thickness, the technique and the products used. A short full head colour and long balayage are completely different jobs. A consultation gets you a real quote.
Should I expect to pay a deposit?
For weddings and occasion bookings, usually yes. Standard salon appointments rarely need one. Always ask about the cancellation policy when a deposit is involved.
