How to get a GOOD HAIRCUT

Not loving your locks? Here’s how to walk out of your next salon appointment with the hair of your dreams

The perfect cut starts with the perfect pro. Meet your match with these simple tips.

SCOUT IT OUT

Spot a woman at the shops with amazing hair? Ask for a referral. If her hair’s texture is like yours, it’s an encouraging sign the stylist is worth seeing.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Once you have a few salon names, go online and see what clients say about the stylists. There may also be Instagram pages you can view. Then, rather than jumping right into a cut, set up a consultation to see if you feel comfortable with your chosen stylist. Use the time to talk about your hair history, budget and how much time you have for styling. Many salons offer this service free, but some may charge a small fee.
