When changing your hair, your hairstylist and the salon you choose are the two most important factors to consider. If you don’t have a regular stylist you already work with, the easiest way to find a new stylist is to speak with someone who has the haircut you desire. Inquire about their salon and stylist, and see if there is any open availability or anybody they would recommend you visit. If you are still unable to find someone through a trusted recommendation, research your local stylists and salons online and browse their portfolios for reference photos. Once you feel confident with your chosen stylist, it is important to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your situation further!

When you arrive at your consultation or appointment, come with your hair styled in the texture that you hope to wear most often. This will help give your stylists a good baseline to work with and see how your hair naturally falls. If you tend to blow dry your hair straight most days, arrive with your hair straight, and if you let your hair dry naturally, come with your hair wavy! While the prospects of styling your hair before your appointment may seem unnecessary or redundant, it is an important step to consider when trying to make a drastic change to your hair.

The best thing you can do to increase your chances of falling in love with your new style is to bring inspiration photos. While bringing in pictures of celebrities with your ideal hairstyle, length, or color is helpful for your stylist, the most beneficial photos to bring are shots of your own hair! If you have pictures of yourself with a length or color closer to what you are looking for, this will help give your stylist a preview of any issues or concerns that may arise during the process. And better yet, if you have photos from things that have happened to you with previous haircuts that you wish to avoid in the future, bring those too!

Don’t be afraid to ask questions when making changes to your hair. Our stylists at the Z Hair Cosmetology school in Overland Park see countless clients each day and always encourage questions. Because it is easy to get overwhelmed and excited by the thought of your new hair transformation, clients may forget to ask questions about the maintenance and upkeep of their new style. This is why it’s essential to ask questions before making any final decisions and find out things like which products will help maintain your hair color, if your bangs will require a specialized type of brush, and how often you will require touch-ups. If you make sure to get any of your questions answered beforehand, you are likely to ensure a successful transition to your new style.
