Every girl must have a great hairdresser that you can trust and that listens to you. A hairdresser that is honest with you about what you can achieve with the hair you have been cursed blessed with.
I luckier now with my current hairdresser but over the years I have had some hair shockers. I still have nightmares about my undercut, the wedge and the Mrs Brady layered do. I think the majority of my hair shockers were caused by a combination of:
- My stupid inspiration choices
- Hairdressers lack of skill
- Our bad communication
- Hairdresser cockiness. I am so great, me, me, me, snip snip snip and "oh...a masterpiece"
- My unrealistic expectations
- Bring in photos of your inspiration and try to include a back of head photos (this is always a little harder but very helpful). If you can't find a photo, then take a photo of someone you see when you are out and about. I find that people are usually happy for you to take a snap and are flattered you like their hair so much.
- Be honest with yourself about how much time and money you are going to put into maintaining your cut and colour. Blonde can look amazing but are you really going to do your re-growth every 4 weeks? I am poor and lazy, therefore I need a low maintenance do.
- Ask your hairdresser if this would work with your hair and lifestyle.
- Keep in mind how much time you have in the morning to achieve your new do.
- Make you you have the right products for your hair. If you have the right products you will be able to maintain the cut and colour for longer between cuts.
It's no secret that I love my hairdresser. I have been seeing her for a few years, before I started blogging and before they were sponsors and advertisers on Redcliffe Style. My high opinion of them hasn't been bought but has been careful nurtured.
