Choosing a hairdresser

[VikkiBP]

Hi there

I fancy a change in style and colour but have yet to find the elusive wonderful hairdresser. I have never come out of a salon looking better than I went in, ever! The cut is either too short, or the colour totally wrong and the styling more to what is the stylists choice, rather than what suits my face. I have tried a variety of salons and mobile stylists all in differing price brackets. I hate to cause a fuss and have just paid up, tipped and not gone back. I love having my hair 'played' with but have little confidence in the professionals.... is it just me?
PS I'm in South Yorks

you need to have a clear idea of what you like and dislike and explain this clearly to the hairdresser , also , try to remember previous haircuts and colours to explain what worked and what didnt . It could be that maybe you want a big change with little upkeep which dont always go together, or that youd like red but swim everyday , some things dont always work and the hairdressers may have been trying to comprimise without explaining why they would do things a certain way .
It may help to cut out pictures and make collages of things you like , then it is easier to see a common theme . Good luck!

hi vikki
start with a 5* good salon guide award salon and go in for a consultation only. start to build a relationship with the stylist before you let them touch your hair. if you can find a salon that also belongs to 'joy' (see joy4you.com) then you are going into a salon that will hopefully listen, advise and carry out a hair plan that you both understand and agree on, great hairdressers are out there but sadly in a minority - good luck

I sent Jessica who is 12 to the new hairdresser last week first, to get a feel of the place (naughty I know lol) The girl who cut her hair was lovely, really nice, chatty, and cut it lovely. I then went the other day for my appt with Thomas. Wow, he was ace. Really good guy. Really chatty, friendly.... and 100% knew his stuff, and I don't say that lightly. Cut my hair beautifully, and has given me some great ideas for my hair in the future. Very knowledgable, and obviously skilled. I was really happy with it. How you got on chuck, have you gone for the one in Rossington? x x
