@ZiggyI'll check it out.
Every parlor is different.
But what so many of them seem to have in common is the fact that they often have on display portfolios with different artists' artwork, which can be freely looked at, without obligation.
And every artists has his or her own style. (Often years ago it was indeed a he. Now the profession has opened up a lot to women also.)
Clients, also. I read someplace that in North America 55%-70% or more of parlor clients are female.
I don't know what can be extrapolated from that. Maybe a lot of women have more of an aesthetic sense than men; IDK. Certainly it seems that proportionately more women are confident and brave enough to want to endure the artist's needles in order to receive on their personal canvas the aesthetic enhancement. (A lot of which these days are faith based.)
