Talk The Talk – Help Your Stylist Get It Right

Nov 09, 2016

Although a good stylist may seem to read your mind, the truth is that most of them are relying on you to tell them what your hairstyle goals really are. Despite seeming to be able to work miracles, stylists are really just pro’s at making the most of what you’ve got. And the betteryoucan communicate about your hair and your lifestyle, the better the outcome will be. Here are some tips to help you make the most of each and every salon appointment.

Before you even step inside the door, have a mental list of issues you want to discuss. This includes any color or chemical concerns you have, too. Describe the problems you have styling your hair at home and what you didn’t like about your most recent haircut. If it’s easier, make a written list to help you and your stylist get on the same hairstyle page.

Don’t skimp on description. Most stylists want to know exactly what you mean and are willing to listen to several different ways of describing it. For example, if you know you want to go with this season’s trend for bangs, it will help if you can describe what sort of fringe you’re imagining. Use lots of descriptive adjectives, such asstrongorsoftor even what you don’t want like “no hard lines.” Visuals are always helpful, too. So don’t be afraid to bring along photos of styles or elements that you want to discuss.

Most important of all may be to keep at least one foot grounded in reality. Every stylist has to work with what Mother Nature gave you, and a true pro will tell you when you’re reaching too far. He or she can suggest alternatives that are similar but will work with your hair’s individual texture and needs, and you’ll be happier in the long run if you listen to their advice.
