Many women hate their hair. The sad part of this statement is that they do not hate their hair because it is growing out, or the color is fading, they hated it from the second they left the salon. Almost every woman can tell you a horror story of a time they left the salon with a cut that was too short, or a style that just did not suit them. The following are some tips for getting a great hair cut that you are going to love, and not annoying your stylist in the process.

Tip #1: Pick the right stylist for you.

Your hair stylist is the person who holds the fate of your hair in their hands, and not all stylists are created equal. Some stylists are awesome for cuts, others for colors, some great at men's cuts, others great with curly hair, but few are great at it all. So, when you go into a salon, find the stylist that is going to fit your style, hair type, etc. best. For example, find someone who specializes in super-curly cuts if you have super curly hair. Or find someone with short funky hair if that is what you want. If you choose a stylist with long locks and a basic cut, they may not be as in tune with what works on short, choppy hair styles. So, if you need a new stylist, call a large salon and ask for the stylist whose specialty is what you want.
