Your best bet is to bring pictures of hairstyles you like. Even if you just like part of a haircut you see, a good stylist will be able to see common elements and help you figure out a cut that looks good on you. It's never a good idea to get someone else's haircut exactly, because you're not the same person!

Make sure to specify what your restrictions are... and be honest! If you don't want to use more than one product in the morning, tell them. Or if you don't want to have to come back for frequent cuts (pixie cuts are pretty bad for this) your hairdresser can make modifications to accommodate. You won't be happy if your hair doesn't fit your lifestyle.

That is SO helpful! Thank you!

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
