Have you ever gone into a salon to see a stylist and left with not quite the results or look that you wanted? I would like to give you a few tips about the perfect consultation to help you and your stylist be on the same page. A great consultation and execution makes for a happy client!

The first thing that you should know is that visuals are very important to a stylist. We are such visual people and looking at a picture, magazine, or Pinterest post helps us understand exactly where you want to go with your hair, whether that be for a color or cut. When it comes to color, visuals are so important because people see color so differently. What you see as red, we might not see as red. The same thing goes with gold. So, visuals are a perfect way to convey to your stylist the end result that you want to achieve. Face shape and skin tone make a big difference!

Next, it is important for us to know your daily routine. What do you do? How much time do you spend styling your hair? Do you flat iron, round brush, use a curling iron? These are questions that we need to know because a style that you might want may not fit your lifestyle.

Finally, when it is time to leave the salon with the perfect color or haircut always remember to take home professional products to support and maintain your great look.

So, in closing, keep these tips in mind and I think you will be able to convey to your stylist exactly the look that you want to achieve. Remember, as a stylist, I want a happy client. That only happens if we are on the same page and with a great consultation we can achieve that.
