The Secret to Finding a Hair Stylist Who Gets You
Amanda was ready for a fresh start. A new look, a bouncy blow-out. So she glanced through a magazine, landed on a "trendy" style (big mistake!), and marched into a random salon. Big mistake number two.
The stylist seemed quite enthusiastic. But by the time the snipping and chopping frenzy ended, Amanda resembled a poodle who'd lost a fight with a lawnmower. Needless to say, the "fresh start" involved a lot of hats and hiding behind scarves.
We've all been there, right?
Here's the thing: finding a good hair stylist isn't about flipping through magazines and picking a random salon. It's about finding someone who understands your hair, your style, and most importantly, you.
So, how do you avoid a hair horror story like Amanda's? Here are some tips:
Know Thyself (and Hair)
Before booking salon appointments, reflect on your hair type, desired style, and budget. Are you a curly-haired goddess seeking a pro who understands your texture? Or a busy professional yearning for a low-maintenance cut? Knowing your needs helps you target stylists with the right expertise.
The Power of Recommendation
Word-of-mouth is gold! Ask friends, family, or colleagues with enviable hair who they trust with their locks. Bonus points if they have a similar hair type to yours. Social media can also be a great resource. Look for stylists with strong followings and positive reviews, but remember, a curated Instagram feed doesn't tell the whole story.
Do Your Online Research
Many salons have websites or social media pages showcasing their stylists' work. Browse through photos to see if their aesthetic aligns with your vision. Don't be afraid to check online reviews, but remember to take them with a grain of salt – a few bad experiences shouldn't overshadow a stylist with a consistent stream of happy clients.
Consultation is Key
Most salons offer consultations, which are your chance to interview the stylist! Discuss your hair goals, concerns, and product preferences. A good stylist will listen attentively, ask questions, and offer honest advice. Don't hesitate to walk away if you don't feel a good vibe – after all, you'll be spending quality time in this person's chair!
