Как да разпознаеш добрия специалист и да не се подведеш по остарели вярвания?
When you're looking for a craftsman, designer, hairdresser, or massage therapist – you don't just want anyone, but the right person for the job.
But the fear of bad experiences, scams, and hidden fees often prevents us from trusting. And many of these fears stem from... myths.
If you are already looking for a specialist, see the guide on how to Choose a Reliable Tradesperson.
In this article, we will debunk the most popular myths and show you how to make an informed decision.
Myth 1: The cheap specialist is a bad specialist
Many people believe that "the price says it all." But that is not always true.
🔹 Young, talented professionals often offer lower prices to establish themselves in the market.
🔹 The low budget doesn't always mean low quality – sometimes it just means motivation.
👉 View profiles on specialists with real evaluations and completed projects, to assess by skills, not just by rates.
Myth 2: No diplomas and certificates = no quality
Yes, vocational education is a plus. But it is not the only criterion.
🔹 Many experienced specialists have been working for years with excellent results, without relying on a "framed document".
🔹 For some services – like hairdressing, makeup, decorations – the portfolio speaks louder than the paper.
👉 Explore galleries and completed projects – the results speak for themselves.
Myth 3: If someone doesn't have a social media profile, it means they are hiding something
Not every craftsman is active on TikTok. And that's completely normal.
🔹 True professionals are often too busy with clients to post stories.
🔹 The absence of Instagram does not mean a lack of professionalism – just different priorities.
👉 Instead of searching on social networks, use verified profiles with real history, photos, and customer reviews.
Myth 4: All online reviews are fake
Skepticism is justified, but not universal.
🔹 On platforms with a built-in verification system, reviews are published only by real users.
🔹 There is no room for "custom-written" comments when every opinion comes after a service has actually been performed.
👉 Review comments from people who have already used the same service – this is the best guide.
Myth 5: Services through the platform are more expensive
This is one of the most widespread myths – and one of the easiest to debunk.
🔹 The platforms do not add commissions to the final price.
🔹 Specialists compete with each other, which leads to better offers for you.
🔹 You receive clear communication, deadlines, and the opportunity to choose.
