How to Find the Right Stylist: A Beginners Guide
How many times have you typed “Hair Stylists Near Me” into an online search engine? We’re willing to bet, more than once! It’s not uncommon to begin a new search for your next stylist. Perhaps your previous stylist moved away, changed their hours or their prices and before you know it, you need to book with someone new.
We completely understand that meeting a new stylist can feel intimidating and sometimes downright scary! Here are some helpful tips for finding your perfect match.
Do Your Research!
Before booking an appointment, really take some time to look at their existing portfolio and environment. A high quality stylist will have many photos and videos of their work, and hopefully some of themselves and their space as well. The more information the better!
2. Consider Their Specialty
These days, most high level hair stylists will have one speciality or another of some kind. Make sure the stylist you are booking with is aligned with your current and future hair goals! For example: a brunette specialist is probably not going to be a great fit for a platinum blonde client.
3. Hours, Location + Budget
Get clear on how far you’re willing to travel to this person, how much money you would ideally spend per visit, and if their schedule jives with your own.
4. Products and Color Line
Is there a specific brand of hair product or hair color you prefer to be used on yourself? If so, start your search with this intention in mind! Then narrow down your options from there.
5. When In Doubt, Book a Consultation
Ask if they offer consultation appointments! This is a great way to break the ice if you’re nervous, ask the questions you need answered, and determine if you are a match to work together. Another great option is to schedule a blowout as a way to get to know them!
