10 Tips to
Help You Get the Perfect Haircut
Dull hair,
change of season, wedding, Mother's Day, graduation -- whatever the reason,
the opportunity to try a new 'do or get a basic trim is hard to
resist. However, the process of getting the perfect haircut can
present two challenges: scheduling the appointment and getting
exactly what you want.
Setting up a
hairappointment with a stylist can
seem like an impossible mission.
The next most
common challenge is communicating with the stylist. The main
reason for a less-than-perfect haircut is miscommunication between
the customer and the stylist.
"Customers
and stylistsshould avoid using technical
terms and specific measurements to describe a haircut because they
can vary among cosmetology communities and can lead to
misunderstanding between the customer and stylist," says
Angelina Biviano Artist Director, Colour & Hair
Extension Specialist for angela's mane
attraction.
To get the
haircut you want every time, other angela's mane attraction
stylists suggest the following 10 tips for effectively
communicating with the stylist:
10
tips
1. Collect pictures of the
style you like and bring them with you to the salon to help explain
your ideas.
2. Ask the stylist about
the latest styles and what would work with your hair and look
best.
3."Show not
tell" how you want your hair
to be when the haircut is complete. Use your hands to show the
stylist how much you want taken off instead of asking for an inch
or two off the ends. This will help ensure that your hair will be
cut only to the desired length.
4. Tell the stylist how
much time you usually spend on your hair. If you would like to
spend less time, be sure to let him or her know. This information
will help determine which style best suits your daily
routine.
5. Let the stylist know
about any hair habits, such as tucking your hair behind the ears
and pulling your hair back for work or sports. Taking your habits
into consideration will help determine an appropriate
hairstyle.
6. Be realistic. While a
certain style may look great in a magazine, it may be unsuitable
for your hair texture or facial structure. The stylist can usually
help you determine if a style is appropriate for you.
7. Don't be afraid to ask
questions. If the stylist uses a term you don't understand, ask the
stylist what it means.
8. Before the stylist
finishes your hair, ask for a hand mirror to check the back of your
hair and to make sure you're satisfied with the cut.
9. As the stylist is
finishing your hair, seek advice on how to recreate and maintain
the look. Also ask the stylist to record your haircut information,
such as the clipper guard number and hair products used on your
hair so that you have the correct information for your next
visit.
10. Update your products.
Ask the stylist for recommendations on which products to use to get
your desired finish. For more information or to find an angela's
