FROM THE Hi Erick,


STYLIST


I have a hard time communicating with hair stylists. I know what I want, but can’t seem to fully explain myself. This was recently the cause of a nightmare cut and, another time, a much


higher bill than expected. Please help me learn the language! - Cindy


Dear Cindy, In my opinion, the consultation is the most important part of


your cut and style. It doesn’t matter how talented the stylist is or who they’ve worked for in the past. Maybe they cut amazing bangs on your friend or do a lot of runway work. None of that matters without communication – and lack of it can spell disaster! First, provide as much information as possible to your stylist.


The two of you may have different visions, so photos are always helpful! Because certain cuts don’t flatter all hair shapes, textures, and facial bone structure, we might not be able to recreate the exact look you’re requesting. However, this initial conversation will help everybody get on the same page. A good stylist will ask questions that make you think about the


look you want - and why you want it. In return, there are several important questions that you should ask in return such as:


• Is this look possible with my hair type? • Is it low maintenance and easy to style on a daily basis? • How do I recreate this look outside of the salon? • Which daily products (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) are best for hair type and texture? • What products do you recommend for achieving this style? • How long have you been a stylist? What salon(s) have you worked for in the past? • Do you have any before and after pictures of someone with a similar style request?


comfortable. It’s okay to leave without having a service done. However, sometimes it might be easier to just say, “Let’s just style my hair today and I’ll think it over.” If the stylist gives you attitude, you'll know that you’ve made the right decision!
