Are you never quite satisfied with your visit to the salon? Your haircut and/or color isn't what you pictured in your mind? It may be caused by failure to communicate thoroughly. It is the responsibility of the stylist to ask all the right questions during a consultation, but stylists could use your help! Follow these steps and you will be on your way to getting the great hair you deserve!
- Go to the salon looking how you normally do on a day to day basis. Pass on the comfy clothing outfit unless you have a stylist already that knows you. The way your dressed can show your stylist more of your personality and lifestyle. The perfect hairstyle looks great and fits into your lifestyle.
- Bring a picture! Consider it a sin to enter a salon without one. Stylists aren't mind readers. Pictures help ensuring that magical moment of meeting of the minds. Make sure you are being realistic with your style as well. For example: if you have fine short hair, don't bring in a picture of someone with thick long hair. Also, make sure it's the hair style in the picture you like. Not how it looks on the model. Sharpie her face out, or cover it with your thumb and really look at the hair.
- Speak up! Share with your stylist problems your experiencing with your hair. What you like and not like. It's also important for the stylist to know your hair routine. How often you wash your hair, styling time and what your trying to achieve. Know what shampoo, conditioner and styling products you use in your hair. That way the stylist can properly recommend products that will help. Trust me, products are our friends and can make a world of difference!
- Watch what your stylist does while styling your hair and mimic it at home. Styling challenged? Ask your stylist to coach you step by step. Remember your in the salon for you hair, so talk about it. It's a great time to get helpful tips!
