Consider your own face geometry before zeroing down on a haircut. It includes your face cut, your hairline and the back of your hair.

This is also one of the reasons why you should have a trusted stylist who knows you pretty well to give you a great haircut while keeping all these things in mind.

Having a clear idea of what you want to achieve helps both you and your hairdresser. Keep in mind that your hairstylists are not mind readers. They need to be told exactly what you¡¯re looking for, and they¡¯ll give their inputs accordingly. For this having a haircut inspiration helps. Have an image or a person for your reference. But, also make sure they are of the same hair type and hairline. Keep the inspirations close home.

Regardless of how good the cut is, it is essentially going to washed away, which is why stocking up on important hairstyling products is a must. They can either make or break a hairstyle.

Regardless of how good the idea may seem initially, give it a considerable amount of thought before you make it happen. Chances are you may feel different about it eventually. So, relax, calm your mind, reflect and only then go get a haircut.

Remind him that¡¯s not what you were going for. Waiting till the fag end to vocalize your thoughts would only spell ¡®game over¡¯ for you. Even if the stylist has made his first wrong snip, he¡¯ll be able to salvage the situation. That¡¯s what skilled hairstylists are for.
