How To Talk To Your Stylist
Ever find it difficult to express what you want to your stylist?
Here are some tips!:
Are you happy with your present hairstyle or would you like a new look? If you want to try something new, don't be afraid to let your stylist know! They might have some suggestions of a style that would better suit your face shape, lifestyle, or skin tone. That being said let them know as well if you are not comfortable with what they suggest. remember, it's YOUR hair, on your head, that you have to wear! We want to make you FEEL like a rock star, not necessarily look like one..
Don't be afraid to tell your stylist how you really feel! If your not happy with the work he/she did, let them know! A good stylist will NOT take it personally and be more than willing to correct or redirect your style in a way that BEST suits you and your lifestyle.
If you have found pictures of styles that you like or want to try show them to your stylist! Keep in mind that the picture might not be realistic to your hair but it would definitely help as a guide to get to where you want to be.
Do you like the length of you hair? Lack of communication from you to the stylist can make a one inch trim into a six inch cut. Yikes!! Make sure your very clear about the LENGTH you want off to the stylist to avoid any tears.
Let the stylist know how much time you have in the morning to get ready. If you like a wash and wear kind of style, make sure the style your choosing matches your natural hair( if you have curly hair, don't pick a style that's really smooth and sleek).
On the other hand let your stylist know if you ARE willing to spend the extra time and to show you a trick or two on how to get you there. You should be able to duplicate at home what the hairdresser did in the salon so he/she should show you everything you need at home to make sure that's possible.
A Visit to the salon should be an exciting, relaxing, and an enjoyable experience, not something you dread. If you and your stylist both have a clear understanding of what you want then everyone is happy. As professionals, its our job to get you the look you desire, while educating you along the way.
