Anyone who has moved from one hairstylist to the next knows it can be difficult to find the one that truly understands your hair. Styling hair is an art, and everyone requires something different to look their best. How can you know that your hair is in good hands? Here are some tips for finding the right stylist for the job.

A Guide to Selecting a Great Hairstylist

1. Browse Social Profiles

Sometimes the most effective way to glean information about a hairstylist is through their social media profiles. High-profile stylists in particular often have portfolios of their work on independent websites or on Instagram or Facebook. Flip through these galleries to get an idea of the type of work that they can do. If you’re interested in a vivid new hair color, for example, it’s important to seek out a stylist who has proven experience working with all types of hues. Be sure to check out the reviews on social media, too — this is a great way to get a general idea of the stylist’s local reputation for service and results.

2. Ask Trusted Confidantes

If you particularly admire the cut and color of a close friend or coworker, it’s a great idea to find out about their hairstylist. You’ll feel more confident visiting a hair salon that’s recommended by someone you trust. Be sure to mention that your friend or associate referred you — the stylist will be happy to learn about the positive feedback.

3. Get a Consultation

Many hair salons are happy to offer consultations when you visit the facility. This is a way to meet the stylist, get a feel for the environment, and find out whether your chosen style or color is possible to achieve there without committing. Consultations also give stylists a chance to provide you with valuable guidance based on the condition and color of your hair. If you’re interested in a specific type of cut, they can sit you down in the chair to determine if it will work well for you based on your hair type. You’ll feel at ease knowing that you’re working with someone who is both skilled and honest.
