9 Steps to Follow to Get Your Best Hair Cut Ever!!!



1) Think Ahead

Whether you’d like to add a few face-framing layers or chop all your hair off, consider your lifestyle and the time that you're willing to spend on styling. Is your morning routine more get-up-and-get-out-the-door, or do you wake up with enough time to put yourself together? Are you willing to use new styling tools and products? The bottom line: You don't want your new haircut to compete with your everyday routine.

2) Sit for a Consultation

Let your stylist know what you have liked and have not liked about haircuts in the past. Elaborate on as many details as you can — for example, how much time you realistically have to spend on your hair, where you part your hair, if you have a cowlick, etc. The more information you give, the better idea your stylist will have.
3) Bring Visuals

Pictures are very helpful when understanding a client's personal style and taste. This tactic will guarantee that both you and the stylist are on the same page.
4) Be Realistic

Sometimes we just have to face the facts — those of us with a curly mass of hair will probably not be able to get Jennifer Aniston's sleek and straight hair without a lot of work. With that said, if you are bringing in pictures, make sure that the pictures are of a hair type similar to yours.
5) Trust Your Stylist

Don't let yourself be swayed one way or another if you have a firm desire for a certain look. At the same time, listen to your stylist's suggestions and trust his or her expertise. A good stylist will take into account your face shape, complexion, and features, and then create a look that best suits you, all while keeping in mind what you initially wanted.
6) Pay Attention

For decades, women have turned to their hairstylists for quality conversations. But chatting too much can have adverse effects. Be warned: Talking can be distracting for both you and your stylist.
7) Communicate

If you find your stylist is headed in the wrong direction, don't be timid — let him or her know. More often than not, it's easier to make adjustments during your cut than afterward. If you feel uncomfortable any time during the cut, always speak up. Your stylist wants you to be completely satisfied, and for that to happen, you have to be vocal.
8) Inquire Within



During your service, ask questions. Have your stylist show you what products or tools to use and how to apply/use them to complete your look.

9) Be Courteous
This should go without saying, but don't be late — even 15 minutes is pushing it. Your stylist is on a tight schedule just like you, and any ripples in hi/her day can cause stress. Plus, you want a relaxed, easygoing appointment.
