Start out by doing prior research looking through magazines or surfing the internet to find options that you can present at the time of your consultation. Print out pictures or bring magazine pages of your favorite celebrities, so you can visually explain exactly what type of haircut, hair color and hairstyle you are trying to achieve.
Think of this consultation as an interview with your hairdresser, you being the interviewer, but let them lead most of the time. It is important that you establish a mutual rapport. They should ask you simple direct questions such as. Do you have anything specific in mind? What don’t you like about your hair color and why? Tell me a little about your lifestyle. Do you work? Does your work require you to travel? Do you consider yourself conservative? You get the picture!
Your hairdresser should confidently discuss each step of the process, including prices and they should put you at ease that they have the experience and expertise to accomplish the work. Once you feel comfortable that they understand what you want and professionally describe exactly how they are going to creative a special personalized look just for you… you will have cleared a major hurtle in getting that fantastic head-turning new look you desire.
