How To Make Sure Your Hairdresser Knows What Haircut You Really Want

It’s many people’s worst nightmare that things get lost in translation and instead of getting a trim, they end up losing 20cm of hair. Believe it or not, most hairdressers really are on your side and want to make your dream hair goals come true. But it is very important that you express yourself properly and communicate what you are looking for.

As one of Gordon’s top hair salons, we will give you some useful tips for making sure your hairdresser knows exactly what you are looking for.

Know What YOU Are Looking For

Before you start explaining to your hairdresser what you are looking for, make sure that you know exactly what you are looking for. Even if you are open to suggestions, you should have some sort of idea about what hair goals you want to reach. If you cannot choose between two different styles, make sure you think about and know what you are drawn to in both looks. If you are unsure about what you want, your hairdresser may get confused about what you’re actually looking for.

Don’t Rush Your Consultation

A very important part of the process is your consultation, which happens before your hairdresser starts cutting and colouring. Take your time in the consultation so that your hairdresser gets a complete idea of what you want done to your hair. If you are rushing through your consultation, you may find at the end of your appointment that there was information you wished you had relayed.

Ensure You Communicate Properly

Remember to listen to what your hairdresser has to say. They may have ideas and tweaks to make to the original hairstyle you are looking for. That being said, you do not have to take any of their ideas on board. Ensure that you communicate properly and that everyone is on the same page before the appointment begins.

Bring Photos

While you may not look like your favourite celebrity, photos are a very useful tool in explaining the type of hairstyle or colour you are interested in getting!
