Hairstyles can be iconic, just think of the Jennifer Aniston cut from “Friends” which was copied by millions of women across the world. Is she lucky though in probably having a personal hairdresser? How can the rest of us have a great hairstyle?
Read through my tips to find out
1. If you’re not happy with your current look, maybe the answer is to change salons or just stylists. Going to someone new can make all the difference as they might have some great new ideas for you if you feel a bit “stuck in a rut”. Maybe a younger member of staff might be able to suggest something funkier for you.
2. Go to the salon wearing the type of clothes that you normally wear and also have a chat to the stylist about the type of job that you do if this is applicable. It is really useful for the stylist to get more of an idea about your life so that they can give you advice on a suitable style. For example if you have a formal type of job and have to dress appropriately this may affect your choice of style.
3. Take a picture with you. Yes, this may seem like rather outdated advice, but can really help. You do need to realise that the end result may not be completely identical, but it can help both you and the stylist get a clearer idea of what you are looking for. Remember to be realistic though, just because you take in a picture of a celebrity haircut, may not mean that you end up looking identical to that celebrity!
4. Try to be clear about what you want. Saying “just a bit darker” or “only a tiny bit shorter” can be confusing to your stylist. You might mean literally just a few millimetres off, but this might mean more of a chop to them. Again a picture can help with this scenario.
5. Make sure you chose a salon which offers the type of treatments that you want. This may mean doing a bit of research. It’s no good going to a salon which specialises in cutting if you want complex colour techniques and vice versa. Remember that a lot of the bigger salons can offer all of these services as they have experts on each area.
