Hair Stylist

Finding the Best Hair Stylist

I remember a particular day when I woke up in the morning, showered and as I was combing my hair, I suddenly decided that I needed to see a hair stylist. Any hairstylist, as long as I would get a new hairstyle and so out the door I went, to the first hair salon that's opened. Of course sometimes sudden impulses isn't always the best choice, the haircut I ended up with was totally disappointing, instead of a looking better I ended up with a near disaster.

So to say it is hard to find a 

hair stylist that suits your hair needs would be a understatement, moreover; it might even be near impossible to find a great hair stylist by chance, which clearly showed during that particular morning. Which is no wonder why some people can be very loyal to their hairstylist and follow them to different hair salons as well. Of course, no hair stylist is perfect since each of us have our own style, fashion sense, expectation and not to mention different hair types. However, there may be a hairstylist somewhere around you who will be able to provide you with a hairstyle to suit your particular taste. There are also some helpful ways to find your hair's destiny.

A good recommendation often works in finding that what you are looking for. Ask your friends or relatives if there is a hairstylist who they know with a good reputation in styling hair. If your see an acquaintance who suddenly appeared looking different and clearly stunning due to a new hairstyle, maybe you could ask where they got the new cut and best to get the hairstyle's name as well.

It's also good to inquire about the price or the cost of the hair style, or how much a particular hair stylists charges. Imagine how unpleasant it would be to sit down for a haircut and end up having to empty out your wallet/purse after the cut. If you are strict on following a budget, then you will need to find a hairstylist whose rates and service cost is within your paying capacity. A well-known salon may charge a more expensive price than a salon who just recently started, but this does not always mean that the more expensive hair dresser is, the more they can provide you with a style which you will find superb.

If you are in a certain parlor, take a look at the customers of the hair stylist. Inspect the hair styles their current clients have. Determine if those who have been serviced are satisfied with their new looks. If possible, compare the before and after looks of the clients.

Sometimes, the decorations of the salon is a reflection of the hair stylist's abilities. A classical set of decors may imply that the hair stylist specializes on traditional hair styles. If the accessories of the hair salon are modern, then it may mean that the hair stylist is also up-to-date with the latest hair trend. If there are posters of hair styles, you may also choose from there which style is suitable to you.

A competent stylist is one who knows his forte. If you ask a hairstylist what style he/she is best at for your facial features or what kind of recommendations they would give, he/she should be able to answer accordingly with the proper advice about which style they feel will be the best complement and bring out your beauty.

However, the real competence and excellent workmanship of the hairstylist cannot be entirely judged based on what he or others say. It is still dependent on what you would feel and see after the hair stylist has actually worked on your hair. To avoid having irreversible results, try a simple trim first, and if you are quite satisfied then the next time your visit, you'll feel safer to have a new style cut from that hair stylist. But if that simple trim isn't what you wanted it to be, then maybe its time to move choose other hair stylists.
