How To Get The Look You Really Want

When going to the salon to have your hair done, whatever the service may be, communication is key. It's important for you to be able to express your desires in a way that your stylist understands exactly what you want. Any good stylist should know how to conduct a great consultation and give you realistic expectations of your end result, but I'm sure we've all seen or been the victim of hair gone wrong.

Here are some good tips to help you get exactly what you want:
*Bring in pictures
-It's always a good idea to show your stylist a clear visual of what you want instead of trying to just describe it.
*Show your stylist "your inch"
-An inch is an inch, but when it comes to hair people have very different opinions about what an inch really is. Show the stylist how much you really want cut and where your hair should fall after it's cut.
*Don't be afraid to speak up!
-If you have concerns about anything that the stylist is doing, say something. It's better to speak up before it's too late.
*Be honest about what you've done to your hair
-If you've had highlights in the past and then colored over them, the highlights are NOT gone! You may not be able to see them anymore, but that hair is still chemically altered and it can have a major effect on future chemical services.

And most importantly if you get home and realize that your hair didn't turn out exactly how you wanted, go back and let the stylist know. Most "problems" are easily corrected with no additional charge.
