The right hairstyle can change how you’re perceived and give you self-confidence, but finding the right hairstyle for who you are takes a little effort. Here are some tips on getting just the right cut:
1. Don’t Go to the Mall - Ask around and find out which salon or stylist your friends use, or you can ask someone whose hair you admire. Perhaps you have seen a salon around town that looks cool and you’ve wanted to give it a try.
2. Make Sure the Place Matches the Look You Want to Achieve - Call them up and ask if they specialize in certain types of haircuts or styles. Would they consider themselves to be modern or classic? Edgy or conservative?
3. What’s Your Fuss Factor? - Let your stylist know how much time you spend on your hair. Maybe you aren’t fussy with your hair, or perhaps you only allow a certain amount of time for hair during your morning routine. Are you proficient with a blow-dryer, or do you prefer the natural route? What kinds of styling aids are you used to using?
4. What Do You Mean No Mohawks at the Office? - It’s also important for the stylist to know what your lifestyle is like. Do you work in a conservative office? Make sure you’re both on the same page when you get down to details. For example, your stylist may interpret “shaggy” or “shorter on the sides” much differently than you do.
5. Money Money Money - Tip appropriately or you may not want your stylist to have a pair scissors near your face the next time you drop in. A Proper tip is 15% to 20% for your stylist & $5 for the person who washes your hair, if someone other than your stylist is doing so.
