Many people naturally assume that when it comes to getting their next amazing cut, all they need to arrive with at their salon is a head full of hair and ideas. Yet a little bit of basic preparation before your visit will take things to the next level, both in terms of helping your stylist achieve your perfect look and providing the truly relaxing and pleasurable experience you deserve.
First off, when you’re looking for that next major style change, your head is full of inspiration and you’ve probably seen a fantastic image somewhere that’s triggered your decision. My advice is don’t just come along with that picture in your mind’s eye, bring all the visual reference you need to communicate what you’re looking to achieve as effectively as possible. Please never feel embarrassed to do this, on the contrary your stylist will love you for it, and you’ll stand better chance of getting exactly what you hoped for.
When it comes to leaving the hair salon feeling a million dollars my other recommendation is to bring your make-up. if you’re a wearer, make-up can often get wiped and washed away, fully or partially, during an appointment. Bring your basics to refresh your look before leaving and you can guarantee stepping out of the salon looking fully fabulous, with hair and face to match. This is especially important when you’ve had a fresh colour treatment as this can sometimes make your skin initially appear a little paler than you may be used to.
