Hairdresser

Hairdresser is there to serve you! Many people complain that they are misunderstood in the salon.
You must learn how to ask and how to get the right service every time.
You can get free consultations in majority of salons. To be sure, ask first.
Do not feel afraid to have a consultation.
Use salons that take bookings and avoid salon busy times. Especially late nights and Saturdays.
Take the first appointment of the day.
You should get a consultation prior to any salon service.
Show the stylist what you normally wear.
Take some pictures of looks that you would like to discuss.
Tell your stylist what your habits are with your hair and how long do you like to spend doing your own hair.
Do not use hairdresser language.
Don't let the hairdresser use terms that are not clear to you.
Make sure that your hairdresser understands you.
The best hairdresser is not necessarily the best for you.
The best hairdresser is the one that understands and transforms your requirements.
The best for you is someone who listens and asks about what you like and dislike about your hair.
Listen to your stylist. If he is not certain you'd look great with the latest style, they probably have good reason.
A good hair stylist will also spend time showing you how to maintain your new style.
When you book, ask for the price of the total service.
When you chat with your hairdresser ask for the price again.
Most often it is finding the right salon that is critical, not the right stylist.
Age, gender, sexual orientation, race, and years of experience, have nothing to do with the talent of a stylist.
Pick a salon with a good reputation.
Make sure the salon is clean.
Find out as much as you can about particular stylist.
Evaluate the stylist's own hair.
Word of mouth is the best recommendation

Until next time,
Miss Bodyline.
