Hair Stylist Communications
A Picture From a Hair Styling Magazine is Worth a 1,000 Words
A visit to your local hair salon can sometimes by fertile ground for disappointment, But there are some preemptive steps that you can take that can reduce the chances of you leaving the hair salon with unexpected surprises.

The most important is to be precise in communicating with your hair stylist. Terms like longer, darker, thinner, more, etc. should be avoided completely as these words mean different things to different people. Shorter to one person could mean above the ears, and shoulder length to the next.

If you haven’t found a picture from your magazines at home, plan to arrive early for your appointment to look through the hair styling magazines and books that every hair salon has on hand. Armed with a picture your stylist has a really good chance of getting really close, but if not having a picture is also good insurance against who is at fault should you end up disappointed.
