Finding the Hairstylist that Fits your Style
There are many
reasons you may be searching for a hair stylist, but it can be a nerve wrecking
experience. Your hair is a large part of your image and if you have ever had a
bad experience the thought of someone you don't know cutting or coloring your
hair can be even more frightening. Finding the right stylist may take a little
effort on your part but it will be worth it. So, if your ready to start your
search, try the following tips:
- Decide on the type of salon ambiance you would enjoy. You will spend as much as four hours of a day every six to eight weeks sitting in a chair there, so being in comfortable will make you much happier. Do you like it young and hip with trendy music, quiet and refined with soft classical music, a comfy neighborhood feel? It is more likely you will find your right stylist working in a place where you feel comfortable.
- Ask a friend or two or even the lady next to you in a checkout line if you like how her hair looks. Recommendations, both pro and con, will help you.
- Know your hair type. Many salons or stylists specialize in curly hair, ethnic hair, or thinning hair. If you have special needs hair then be sure one of your considerations is the stylist skill with you hair type.
- Walk into different salon lobbies. Get a feel for the atmosphere and clientele. Check out the prices for services. It's no use moving ahead if their prices are more than you can afford to pay. If you are happy with everything, then work with the receptionist to schedule a "no cost" consultation.
- At your consultation, discuss openly what your expectations are, show pictures of different hair styles you may be considering. Consider their reactions. See if they offer ideas you like. Don't be afraid to say "thank you for your time" and walk out. If, however, you get a positive feeling, like what they have to say and their ideas, then go ahead and book the appointment.
