Find your Lexington stylist!
Are you tired of leaving the salon feeling disappointed with your hair? Do you struggle to find a hairstylist who truly understands your unique hair needs and personal style? If so, you're not alone. We haven’t always been stylists. We have been clients too. We have been in the same boat, trying countless places in search of the perfect fit. But fear not, there are steps you can take to ensure you find a good hairstylist, even if you're picky. As stylists, we want the right people in our chairs. You finding the right shop and stylist is just as important to us. Here is our take on finding your way to the right chair.
First, start by doing your research. Ask for recommendations from friends, family members, and coworkers whose hair type is similar to yours. Sure, Suzie in accounting has a killer shag, but it wouldn’t work for you if your hair is stick straight. Just ask! If you see someone with a particularly great cut or color that would work for you, don't be afraid to ask where they got it done.
Reviews can be misleading. Not all reviews come from an informative place. Websites like Yelp actually funnel reviews in a way that encourages a business to spend money with them. It’s a false narrative and not a clear snapshot of the salon or stylist. Google Reviews is probably your safest bet, but nothing beats a recommendation from a real-life person.
Once you've narrowed down your options, schedule a consultation. (We love them!) Finding a new stylist isn’t just about their talent, it’s about how the two of you vibe together. If you don’t feel comfortable speaking up or feel like your stylist isn’t hearing your feedback, you’re likely not going to be happy with the final result. A consultation is a great opportunity to discuss your hair goals and concerns with the stylist and see if they truly understand your vision. Use this time to ask questions about their experience, training, and specialties. Be sure to bring photos of hairstyles you like and don't like to give the stylist a clear idea of your preferences.
Finally, don't be afraid to speak up during your appointment. If something doesn't feel right or you're not happy with the way things are going, let the stylist know. From our experience, when things go south, it's due to a breakdown in communication. A good stylist will be receptive to your feedback and work with you to make any necessary adjustments.
Anything worth having takes some effort. Finding the right hairstylist may take some time and effort, but it's worth it in the end. With a little research and a clear idea of your hair goals, you can find a stylist who will help you look and feel your best.
