How to Choose the Right HairDresser

If you're unhappy with your current stylist, or you haven't been to one in ages, the best way of finding hairdressers with the potential to meet your needs, is by asking people whose cuts and styles you really like. Get names from friends, family and co-workers. That will give you an initial list to work from.

The best hairdressers are not always the most expensive, or the ones who work in big name salons. They may be a small, owner-operated salon whose customer service far exceeds that of the larger concerns.

Once you have a list of hairdressers, call and ask if you can make an appointment to discuss your hair. Explain that you haven't quite decided what style you would like and need to see what a professional thinks of your hair. Then arm yourself with some pictures of cuts that you like, or have had before. It doesn't hurt to slip in one or two that are totally unsuitable, just to see if the salon wants to make you look good, or just wants your business.

Be ready to tell them what styles you have tried in the past, what colors, how often you shampoo, whether you use a blow dryer, and any other things that may have an impact on the health and condition of your hair. If your wardrobe consists of a lot of items in particular colors, make sure they know that as well.

After making the rounds, you should have a clear idea of who has your best interests at heart. Try not to make your decision a financial one, unless the rates of the hairdresser you like are absolutely outrageous. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more to get exactly what you want.
