A bad haircut impacts people in different ways. You may be frustrated for the entire time until your hair grows back or you could simply make the most of it and choose to accept it. However, depending on the time of year and what events you may have upcoming, you sometimes can’t afford to have a bad haircut. You work hard establishing a quality hair care routine to always have great-looking hair, so having your efforts ruined at the salon isn’t ideal. Here are some basic tips to help ensure you won’t leave the salon with a bad haircut again.
View Recommendations For Hairstylists
It’s always a good idea to look up reviews and recommendations for hairstylists before making an appointment. Especially look at the stylist’s specialties if you’re wanting a specific haircut. When you find one that looks good on paper, feel free to give them a call as well and explain exactly what you want to accomplish with your hair. They may provide you with recommendations to do beforehand to ensure they can achieve your vision, such as coming in with dry hair, slightly damp hair, washed hair or second-day hair.
Come In With Ideas and Visuals
If you make your stylist guess at what type of haircut you want, then there’s a good chance it’s not going to live up to your expectations. Have a clear idea of what you want and provide your stylist with a visual of the type of haircut you want. Sometimes what you say could be interpreted differently than what you actually mean, so having a visual ensures you and your stylist are on the same page and can discuss different ideas at that time.
Communicate Clearly With Your Stylist
There’s never any harm in providing feedback to your stylist, even when they are in the middle of giving you a haircut. In fact, most stylists appreciate this type of feedback since their ultimate goal is achieving the hairstyle you want. As long as you’re polite and honest with them, speak up and ask if there’s anything they can do to change it. Most of the time they will be more than happy to fix it without charging you anything extra.
Ask For Styling Tips For Your New Cut
Depending on the haircut you get, you may have to change up your quality hair care routine to maintain your great new look. Ask your stylist for some tips on how to keep your hair looking fresh for as long as possible. One tip you’ll probably receive is investing in sulfate free shampoo if you don’t already have some. Take the tips you receive seriously and you’ll enjoy great-looking hair for much longer than normal.
