I went to a dentist and a beauty salon. I had my teeth checked and after that, I had my hair cut.Not bad! To make this sound more fluent you can say it like this:
"I went to the dentist and then to the beauty salon. I had my teeth checked first and after that, I had my hair cut.
BUT if you say it like that it sounds more like you are conversing with somebody.
E.g. Person 1: "What did you do today?
Person 2: "I went to the dentist and then to the beauty salon."
Person 1: "Oh cool! What did you do there?"
Person 2: "Well, I had my teeth checked first and after that, I had my hair cut."
You should try to simplify your sentences if you can. A good way to do this is by saying:
"I went to the dentist today and had my teeth checked. Then I went to the beauty salon and had my hair cut."
E.g.
Person 1: "Hey, I went to the dentist today and had my teeth checked. Then I went to the beauty salon and had my hair cut!"
Person 2: "Wow, that's great! How efficient."
So both are OK - It depends on the conversation context.
Hope this can help you! :)
