Ready to decode the salon stylist language barrier? Let’s level up your consultation game and ensure your hair dreams come true! Follow these tips to make sure you and your stylist are speaking the same fabulous language in that salon chair.
#1 Be Realistic
How often do you actually style your hair? If its “never” be sure to share that with your stylist so they can opt for something low maintenance for you. There’s no point in leaving the salon looking like a million bucks if it’s never going to happen again, because you don’t have the time to put the effort in on a daily basis. There’s absolutely no shame in not fixing your hair but we want you to have something you can love everyday, not just when we style it.
#2 Bring Pictures
You might come in and say you’re wanting “mahogany” hair and I’m thinking you want a deep red violet but you’re actually wanting a lighter brown with a reddish tint. Now we have a problem! So let’s avoid the guesswork and skip the trendy names. Just bring pictures, the more the merrier.
#3 Speak UP
If something isn’t shaping up the way you like with your haircut, TELL US! I promise, it’s probably easier to fix in that moment than waiting. The goal is to get you to leave with hair you love. So if you don’t love it, let us know so we can make adjustments.
#4 Follow Up
Make sure to discuss with your stylist the upkeep for your new dream hair. Whether it’s how often you need to have it trimmed up to keep your style, or how often you need to redo your toner to keep that color you love looking fresh. Have a plan in mind and prebook your next appointment, if possible.
At the end of the day, it’s our job to make all your hair dreams come true. So, follow these 4 steps and make it that much easier for the both of us to be on the same page.
