At some point in your life, you'll require the services of a professional hairstylist to help you look your best. Whether it's for an elegant up-do for your wedding - or for your duties as maid of honor - a style to complement your evening gown for a reunion or formal event, or to look your best at church on Sunday, you shouldn't just sit down in any stylist's chair. Do your homework and make sure the person handling and shaping your crowning glory is most capable to working with your needs and personality.
Obviously, the tried and true method for finding a good stylist in your area is to seek referrals from friends and family. This can be advantageous to you, as you're likely to receive a number of recommendations from people you trust - people who trust their hair to their favorites. However, your tastes in style may not always gel (pardon the pun) with those of your loved ones. You're more likely to act on a suggestion by your best friend than your grandmother in this case, yet you may find your closest friend prefers things a certain way.
How can you determine you've walked into the right salon? Research! An established stylist is usually known for his/her longevity - working in the same place for many years, and enjoying a steady clientele. Check Internet resources and social media profiles dedicated to local spas and salons to see how long the more popular hair professionals have served happy clients. Opinion sites like Yelp have a section for salons, and from there you can glean how well somebody might work with you.
Once you find a stylist with whom you click, you can be sure that name is in your appointment book every time you need your hair done. For a great relationship with a stylist that's intuitive and up on trends that best benefit you, try these steps to finding the right hair professional.
