Looking for a big change? Here are a few tips to help you prepare.
1 Visualize Your New Look: As the old adage goes “pictures are worth a thousand words.” So, gather plenty of photos, ideally from multiple angles, that capture the haircut or style you want. Seeing different perspectives helps your stylist understand the cut and how it will work with your face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle
2 Be READY for the Change: A drastic cut can feel both exciting and daunting, especially if you’re used to longer hair. Take time to consider the change, and talk to your stylist about any concerns. (Pro Tip: Ask to book a 15 minute consultation with your stylist just to talk through your desires. This is great to release stress and anxiety. It also prevents you from losing valuable appointment time due to an extended consultation.) They’ll help you understand how the cut will frame your face, and, if it’s a big change, you might even try a virtual style app to “try on” the look first.
3 Prepare for Styling Adjustments: A new style may require different tools or products to maintain its shape. Ask your stylist for advice on styling and maintenance. For example, a short cut may need more frequent trims, or bangs may need specific products to stay in place throughout the day
