If Your Nan Gets Out The Basin And Scissors, Run Away To A Salon Smartish...
What Do You Want ?
Most People Like To Play Safe With Their Hair, So It's A Good Idea To Have Some Idea Of You Want, Or At Least What You Like Before You Go. Think About How Much You Are Prepared To Have Cut Off And Whether You Want A Classic Neat Cut (Bob, Crop, Long And Layered etc) Or A Modern, Choppy Cut. Take The Pictures To The Salon With You. If You Want A 'Celebrity Hairstyle' Find A Recent Picture Of Them, Otherwise You May End Up With A Beckham Mohican Rather Than A Beckham Crop
Where To Get It Done
Try To Go Somewhere That Has Been Recommended By A Friend, But Only If You Like Their Hair! You Could Also Try Asking People With Haircuts You Like Where They Got It Done. Go Along And Have A Consultation, And If You Don't Like What They Say, Don't Get It Done There.
Always Have A Consultation
Always Sit And Talk To The Stylist Before You Have Your Haircut. Any Good Hairdresser Will Take The Time To Discuss Your Look With You, Saying When They Don't Think A Look Will Suit You, And Suggesting Alternatives Or New Innovations You May Wish To Try. Show Them Those Style Pics And Flick Through Their Style Directories. Ask Them To Point Out Pictures Of What They Are Thinking Of Doing. Say What You Hate About Your Hair And Previous Haircuts, And If It Is A New Stylist Say If Your Hair Is Naturally Wavy/ Kinky, So That They Can Allow For This When They Cut.
Learn To Say 'No'
If Your Stylist Suggests Something You Do Not Want Then Say So. If You Allow Yourself To Get Talked Into Something You Really Don't Want You Won't Be Happy With The End Result, Even If It Looks Stunning To Others. Having Said This, When You Have Found A Hairdresser You Trust, Allow Yourself To Take A Few Risks With Your Hair, They May Give You A Style You'd Never Have Dreamed Of Trying That Suits You Perfectly.
Ask Questions
Want To Keep That Salon Look ? Then Ask What Products They Used On Your Hair, And What They Would Recommend You Use Yourself. If You Can't Afford Their Products Ask What To Look For In A Cheaper Product. Also Ask For Tips On Recreating The Look By Yourself.
Finally........
If You Still Get A Bad Haircut (Were You Reading This Properly ?) Wear A Hat/ Wig And Rest Easy In The Knowledge That It Will Grow Back
