Decisions, Decisions: How to Choose the Best Hair Stylist for You

​Choosing a hair stylist is a complicated and nuanced task. When it comes to your hair, there is nothing worse than ending up with a cut you absolutely hate, or a disturbing color that isn’t anywhere close to what you imagined. To avoid the need to hide that accidentally-orange-hued hair under your favorite baseball hat—or to stay huddled at home because those crooked bangs are simple not happening—read our advice for researching and selecting the perfect hair stylist for your unique needs:

1. Scour the Internet 
“Ask the Oracle,” if you will. Google is a great place to start. Search for stylists in your area that specialize in the look you’re hoping to achieve, whether you’re looking for a smooth-transitioning balayage, a natural-looking auburn color to make your eyes pop, or a rock-star pixie cut that is certain to turn heads. Take a look at the salon reviews and make a point to find the stylist that has experience working with your current hair type, texture and cut. 

2. Ask Around 
Word of mouth is a more powerful tool than you realize. If you see a style, cut or color that piques your fancy, then ask the person what salon they go to, and who they see. As their name, too, so you can tell the stylist who referred them! Having a reference point for the stylist also gives them an idea of the style you are looking for.

3. Take Advantage of Social Media
If you’re not 100% set on a specific color or cut, take a look at Instagram. Salons and hair stylists are always sharing photos of their latest creations. You may come across a must-have look, and gain a better grasp on what each stylist’s specialty is. 

4. Bring Photos to Your Consultation
If you have a specific concept in your head, the best way to get this across to the stylist you’ve selected is to bring them a photo, or show them a photo on your phone. Once you point out what you like about the style, your hairdresser will be able to give their recommendations. Your stylist should explain whether or not the cut will work with your hair’s texture and the shape of your face. They may suggest modifications to improve the way that cut works for you as an individual. If you have your own little personal touches that you’d like to use to make the style your own, let the stylist know! We can’t speak for other salons, but at Fisher Experience, our stylists love putting a personal touch on a classic style!

5. Learn the Terminology
Lastly, before meeting with your chosen stylist for a consultation, it’s helpful to educate yourself and learn some salon terminology. You would not travel to another country without a few words up your sleeve to increase your chances of effective communication. The same concept applies at the hair salon. There is less chance for misunderstanding when you speak the same language. Of course, a skilled stylist will be happy to explain what’s what during your consultation, but it’s always easier to start “ahead of the game” with a solid foundation of hair styling knowledge. Bringing a photo is also helpful when learning to speak salon, as you may look at a photo and think, “I like the balayage look here,” but a stylist may recognize that the look was achieved though foils. Photos help clarify wants and needs.

Stylists and salon professionals want you to look great and feel even better about your new style. Communication is vital for collaboration. Speak up, and you will walk out with a smile.

I want to make sure that I take good care of my hair, but I'm not sure how to go about it. It makes sense that getting the right hair stylist would be beneficial! I'll be sure to do some research on the internet to ensure that I get the best one for me.

My cousin has been thinking about going to a better stylist that will be able to do his hair correctly. He would really like to get a professional to do his hair correctly. I liked what you said about how he should look at their specialty on social media with their latest creations.

You made a good point when you shared that it is great to bring along a photo when going for hair styling. My friend just mentioned the other day that she is thinking of changing her hairstyle that can enhance her look so she will look more appealing. I will suggest to her looking for a reliable hair salon and bring along a picture of the style that she wants.

I want to dye my hair, but I'm not sure how to go about it. It makes sense that getting a hair specialist to help out would be beneficial for this. I'll be sure to find one that has a lot of experience with this kind of thing.

I like the idea of looking at the latest hair creations and styles on Instagram. Maybe I could find my new look on there. Then I could have it ready to show to whichever hair stylist I find.

My wife and I are planning on going on a long trip next week, and I am wanting to find someone that can give me a good haircut. It was really helpful when you explained that word of mouth is a powerful tool to use. I will have to ask some of my friends if they have any local barbers that they would recommend.

I like that you suggested asking around for the best salon in your area since having a reference point can help. I will follow your advice now that I need their services for my hair. It's because it has been really dry lately and keeps on becoming too tangled.

It's good to know that word of mouth is a good way to find a stylist. My sister's wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks, and she was telling me last night about how she wants to make sure that she can find the right stylist for the haircut she wants to get for the wedding. I'll make sure to pass this information along to her as she searches for a hair stylist.

Thanks for pointing out that we should look for stylists who can make us love our hair and provide the perfect style for our needs. This is really helpful because I will be attending my sister's birthday party next month. I am hoping to find a personal stylist on Monday who can also provide a fresh perspective on my closet to help me determine what I can do with what I already have.

It really helped when you said that we should ask around since word of mouth is a powerful tool. I will follow your advice now that I need to get my hair done with hair salon services weeks before my wedding day. It's because I might be too busy when the day comes near for other preparations, so I have to get my hair colored now.

You made an interesting point when you mentioned that it is a good idea to educate yourself before going to a salon. My wife is wanting to change her hair color since we are going to be getting family photos done soon.

I found it interesting when you said that your hairstyle could be helped by search through internet for ideas. My cousin mentioned the other night that she was hoping to find a salon that could offer hair extensions to achieve her ideal look for her friend’s birthday party. She asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. Thanks to this informative article. I'll tell her she can consult a trusted hair salon as they can help them with her desired look.

I'd been searching for a new hairstylist to give me a nice haircut, but I couldn't manage to locate a good service provider until I came here. It's excellent that you mentioned looking at the prospective hair stylist's social networks to see what hair styles they've uploaded and whether they fit our interests. I believe this is a fantastic concept. I'll look into it and find a suitable hairstylist. Thanks.
