We know for the fact that getting a cut that does not quite fit in with what we imagined about it or, even worse, something that looks downright atrocious can be an ordeal any woman would pay good money to be spared of. So, here are some tips and things we must do when heading to the salon for a cut.
The first things is magazine tells us, we must always pick a stylist based on what they can do and not because of their reputation. It’s always a bad idea to go to one just because they charge the most or because they say they’re good with their hands. One way to avoid this would be speaking first with our ever-reliable female friends or even with strangers on the street with cuts similar to what we’d like to get. Another thing that most women tend to ignore is that we must never present ourselves to the stylist with our hair not done. For instance, if they can see we’re no good with a blow-drier, then they will know to go into the other direction, by giving us a ‘do that looks great when air-dried as well.
As the stylist cuts our hair we must pay attention, this is no time to start texting our friends or carefully studying our manicure. If we see the cut is heading in a direction that is not what we want, we must speak out so that the stylist knows to stop. If, at the end of it all, you still don’t have the cut of your dreams, don’t just sit there sulking. We are advised to say if there’ something we don’t like, as the stylist will oblige us on the spot. Say, however, that we notice the waiting room is filled with women or that the stylist in a bad mood, we can say we want to spend a day with our new ‘do and then, if we’re still not happy, to come back for a “fix-it” appointment which is free of charge. This keeps a rushed – or defensive – stylist away from your hair, and it allows you to go home and play with it before deciding you definitely want a ‘do-over.
