Do cruise ships have hair dressers or salons on board?

All major cruise ships have a salon and spa on board. You are encouraged to secure your hair & nail appointments the day you get on board. Find out what nights are the formal nights so you can ensure your up-do doesn't get surrendered to the pool the next day. Also, check the cancellation policy for each appointment to make certain you're not billed for a no show. Lastly, never be afraid to bargain with the spa manager. During times the vessel is in port, they are struggling to keep the spa busy. Ask for a percentage off the appointment ... Often they'll take you up on it. Oh, remember, most cruise lines add a 15% service charge to all services, which is NOT gratuity. You should plan to tip above and beyond this amount if the service exceeded you expectations. Happy Sailing!
