New Look? Ask Your Stylist!
So you’re thinking of changing your look for the New Year by adding color? We’re here to help you make the leap, but before we get started here are a few questions you might consider asking your stylist:
1. How much maintenance will my new look require?
Coloring your hair requires regular maintenance to keep it looking great. If you aren’t able to commit to a salon visit every 4-6 weeks, discuss this with your colorist. They can help you determine the appropriate routine that will fit into your life.
2. What will this cost?
Feel free to ask up front how much your new hair color is going to cost. If it’s over your budget, say so. Your stylist may be able to modify your service to fit your budget. (Ex: sometimes a few highlights create enough dimension without doing a full foil service).
3. What take home products will be required?
Professional products are recommended for professional results. These products are formulated to combat fading and dulling caused by all types of environmental elements, not just another way to sell you something. You will use some kind of shampoo, conditioner and at least one styling product anyway. Your stylist can recommend the ones best suited for your new look. If you are investing in a new professional color, it only makes sense that you use products to insure your investment for as long as possible.
Helpful hints:
Coloring your hair doesn’t have to be drastic like the picture above left. Sometimes just an all over color glaze, a shade darker or lighter than your natural color, can be enough to enhance your overall look. Just keep in mind that the further away you get from ‘what God gave ya’, the more maintenance and expense. Talk to your stylist.
Pictures are helpful when trying to describe your new cut or color goal to your stylist. We, as stylists, have our own language and sometimes it may sound like a foreign language to you. Have a picture handy, especially if you want something specific. While we all know Jennifer Aniston’s hair is common fodder for most celebrity magazines, her color can vary from photo to photo due to photography, lighting and print production. Clip your favorite and bring it with you.
Using food like pasta to describe the thickness of your desired highlights can help your stylist understand what ‘chunky’ means to you. Will you have ‘angelhair’ or ‘linguini’?
